NOTES

"The Hopis was first published in 1995. To update and prepare the book for republication today, we have worked with Anita Polahla, a Hopi language and cultural consultant with master's degrees in public administration and educational leadership from Northern Arizona University and a member of the Tansy Mustard Clan from Sitsomovi, a village on the first First Mesa. We hope this book serves as an introduction to one of the first American Nations and that you will continue to explore Hopi history and culture by visiting the websites listed in the back of the book."-- [Page 2]

"Did you know that the Hopi people have always lived on three mesas, big flat-topped hills, in Arizona? This accessible nonfiction picture book introduces the Hopis' creation story, history, beliefs, daily ways of life, and more. Learn about the Hopi secret societies, underground kivas, kachina masks, the snake dance, and more. Expertly reviewed by members of the Hopi tribe, this updated edition provides the most up to date and accurate information on the Hopi people of the past and present. Historical information is accompanied by a section on modern life"--
