Inhaltsangabe

In the Truth of a Hopi, Edmund Nequatewa relates the Hopis' myths, legends, belief systems, and oral history. Nequatewa's writings give us a glimpse into the psyche of the Hopi in the way that only a Hopi could. Here you will find not only the traditional oral histories, but stories of how the Hopi resisted sending their children away to enforced boarding schools. A fascinating view of a subtle people.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Edmund Nequatewa was a Hopi writer, interpreter, historian, folklorist, and museum researcher born at Shungopavi on Second Mesa in northern Arizona in the late nineteenth century. A member of the Sun Forehead Clan and connected by birth to hereditary ceremonial leadership, he possessed extensive knowledge of Hopi clan histories, migration traditions, ceremonies, and oral narratives. He later worked with the Museum of Northern Arizona, where he was valued as an interpreter of Hopi culture and an authority on its traditions.In Truth of a Hopi, first published in 1936, Nequatewa recorded origin traditions, clan migrations, sacred beliefs, and historical experiences from a Hopi perspective. His work is especially valuable because it presents Hopi traditions through the voice of a Hopi author rather than solely through an outside ethnographer. Nequatewa also contributed to the preservation and interpretation of Hopi history throughout his long association with the Museum of Northern Arizona.
