The oral history of the Hopi people tell them that they were the first human beings to inhabit the North and South American continents and that they arrived on large rafts, island-hopping across the Pacific Ocean…not by the land bridge that once connected Alaska and Siberia.
The story of their arrival, splitting up into groups and going in different directions to populate the two continents is so detailed that it is hard to believe that it is just a myth concocted for some ulterior purpose.
This provocative book uses key terms in the Hopi language that are pregnant with cultural and historical meanings as windows to reveal the amazing story of the Hopis, including how they ended up living on top of high mesas that rise up like sentinels in northern Arizona.
Perhaps most astounding of all in the story of the Hopis is their tradition of prophecies, and their incredible accuracy—including the coming of white men with guns, the coming of wagons, the coming of the railroad, cattle, electric power lines—and future wars.
This is fascinating read for anyone who is interested not only in Native Americans but in an incredible saga of an ancient people who have survived into modern times…and continue to practice their ancient ceremonials. #
