About This Book

A study examines the oral literature of the Hopi and shows how myths and folktales underpin ritual practices, kinship, property arrangements, and daily crafts. It describes the people and landscape, clan organization, marriage customs, and household and agricultural life. Chapters treat pottery, basketry, and house construction as expressive arts linked to symbolic tradition. The work analyzes storytelling seasons, stability of plots amid changing settings, and the incorporation of contemporary elements. Religion, kachina imagery, and ceremony are detailed, including flute and snake rites and birth, marriage, and burial observances. A selection of traditional tales illustrates how narrative sustains communal memory and social order.
