The Traditions Of The Hopi

By Henry R. Voth

Book Overview

The Traditions of the Hopi is a book written by H.R. Voth, which provides a comprehensive insight into the customs, beliefs, and history of the Hopi people, one of the oldest Native American tribes living in the southwestern United States. The book is divided into three parts and covers various aspects of the Hopi culture, including their religious practices, social organization, and artistic traditions. The first part of the book focuses on the Hopi creation story and their religious practices, which revolve around the veneration of deities and the performance of elaborate ceremonies. The second part of the book delves into the Hopi social structure, including their family and clan relationships, and their approach to governance and justice. The final part of the book explores the Hopi artistic traditions, including their pottery, weaving, and kachina doll-making. Throughout the book, Voth provides detailed descriptions of the Hopi way of life, drawing on his own experiences living among the tribe and his extensive research. He also includes numerous photographs and illustrations to help readers better understand the Hopi culture. The Traditions of the Hopi is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, as well as for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Hopi people and their way of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
