The Hopi Indians (Classic Reprint)

Whoever visits the Hopi falls perforce wider the1 magic influence of their life and personality. If anyone entertwns the belief that a good Indian is a dead Indian let him travel to the heart of theS outhwest and dispel his illusions in the presence of the sturdy, self-supporting, self-respecting citizens of the pueblos. Many sojourn in a region wlwse fascinations are second to no other, experiences that were happy and associations with a people who interest all coming in contact with them combined to indite the folkwmg pages.
