Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An informative and accessible pictorial history of the Hopi Indians illustrated with pen and ink drawings by Hopi/Tewa artist Neil David, Sr. David, who has been called the Hopis' Norman Rockwell, is noted for meticulous detail in his works and speaking his mind through the antics of the Koshare clown. Inspired by David's illustration, the authors tell the story behind these images, which capture some of the most important events and milestones in Hopi history from the Pueblo Rebellion against the Spaniards to living and coping with government edicts and intruders from the dominant American society during the late 19th through the 21st centuries. Each image is accompanied by a historical essay that further explores topics that have influenced the Hopi culture, shaped the Hopi society, and impacted David's life in the Hopi world. Historians, ethnologists, anthropologists, and art lovers will all appreciate the social, political, and cultural insights presented through Hopi eyes.

Download or read book Hotevilla written by Thomas E. Mails and published by Marlowe. This book was released on 1995 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book foretells in a disturbing, straightforward fashion your fate and that of the entire world, and the way in which you in some part determine it. Since it is actual history and not fiction or fantasy, its omens and recommendations may at first seem unacceptable - even preposterous. Above all, this is a book about making the most important choices of your life. Its center, actually, is found on a certain small stone whose flat sides are covered with pictograhic symbols, including three that are V-shaped and inscribed there about 1120 A.D. by Maasaw - the ferocious appearing but actually benevolent Guardian Spirit of the Earth - at the time of the founding of the mother village, Oraibi, "the place where the roots solidify." Each leg of the first two indicates a chosen path taken by Hopi people leading to a division: the left one followed by those who keep the Covenant, and the right by those who abandon it. Each leg of the final V indicates a division resulting from choices also made by the Hopi, but the rest of the world as well. The handful of Hopi Elders who speak to us in this book would tell us it is no accident that at this very moment a series of comet fragments are crashing with titanic force into the planet Jupiter. We are being sent another warning. It is no accident either that this message was given quietly to and comes from the only native people who have, in the face of all obstacles and inducements to change, sustained virtually change their entire culture. Authorized, informed and guided by centurion Dan Evehema, Thomas E. Mails reconstructs here a story never before revealed in its fullness by any Hopi. Cloistered for surprising reasons until now, it presents a startling message that was prepared for today's world, but pecked as a testimony into the soaring mesa sides and stone walls of canyons nearly a thousand years ago. In essence, it describes a play whose curtains opened at the beginning of time and followed a wandering course dictated by varying choices, but now has run its length and entered its final act where the act where the plot has become less fluid. Time is spiraling down toward a climax which, if its warnings are ignored and a certain mysterious object is destroyed, will probably be catastrophic. How do the Elders know this? Because all of the prophesied signs except the last have been fulfilled, and because even these have been set in motion by events that are taking place at Hotevilla right now.

Download or read book The Unwritten Literature of the Hopi written by Hattie Greene Lockett and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By a brief survey of present day Hopi culture and an examination into the myths and traditions constituting the unwritten literature of this people, this bulletin proposes to show that an intimate connection exists between their ritual acts, their moral standards, their social organization, even their practical activities of today, and their myths and tales-the still unwritten legendary lore. The myths and legends of primitive peoples have always interested the painter, the poet, the thinker; and we are coming to realize more and more that they constitute a treasure-trove for the archaeologist, and especially the anthropologist, for these sources tell us of the struggles, the triumphs, the wanderings of a people, of their aspirations, their ideals and beliefs; in short, they give us a twilight history of the race.
