The Hopi Indians

The Hopi people and their way of life are nothing short of captivating, enchanting those who visit their land. This book offers an account of the Hopi tribe that dispels the notion that "a good Indian is a dead Indian", which was a common belief during the 19th century. The author's affection and respect for the Hopi, whom Lummis calls "Quaker Indians," is evident, and his commendations are well deserved. The pages that follow are a pleasure to read and provide a glimpse into a tribe of Native Americans living on the cusp of modern civilization while still retaining their ancient customs and traditions.
