<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The secrets of the Hopi road of life revealed for the first time in written form <p/></b>In this strange and wonderful book, thirty elders of the ancient Hopi tribe of Northern Arizona--a people who regard themselves as the first inhabitants of America--freely reveal the Hopi worldview for the first time in written form. The Hopi kept this view a secret for countless centuries, and anthropologists have long struggled to understand it. Now they record their myths and legends, and the meaning of their religious rituals and ceremonies as a gift to future generations. Here is a reassertion of a rhythm of life we have disastrously tried to ignore and instincts we have tragically repressed, and a reminder that we must attune ourselves to the need for inner change if we are to avert a cataclysmic rupture between our minds and hearts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Deeply steeped in Hopi mysticism...Combine(s) Hopi art, history, tradition, myth, folklore, and ceremonialism with dignity and authority...Deserves to be part of the library of any student of the American Southwest.<b><i><br>--American Anthropologist</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Frank Waters</b> (1902-1995) was a writer best known for his novels and historical writings about the American Southwest.
