The Hopi Indians (Classic Reprint)

Whoever visits the Hopi falls perforce under the magic influence of their life and personality. If anyone entertains the belief that a good Indian is a dead I ndian9 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 sojourns in a region whose fascinations are second to no othert experiences that were happy and associations with a people who interest all coming in contact with them combined to indite the following pages. If the writer may seem biased in favor of the Quaker Indians asL ummis calls them, be it known tliat he is moved by affection not less than by respect for the Hopi and moreover believes that his commendations are worthily bestowed. The recording of these sidelights on the Hopi far from being an irksome task has been a pleasure which it is hoped may be passed on to the reader, who may here receive an impression of a tribe of Indians living at the threshold of modern civilizing influences and still retaining in great measure the life of the ancient house-buuders of the unwatered lands.
