Book of the Hopi by Waters, Frank [Paperback]

About this product

Product Information

The secrets of the Hopi "road of life" revealed for the first time in written form 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.

Book of the Hopi by Frank Waters, Oswald White Bear Fre
Nice read about The history of Our Country, before the europeans... There was life before mass marketing, and before the greed, and lust of ownership...and there will be life, after it all colapses...I hope I am here to enjoy it. Suggested for those with open minds, or those who are willing to open their minds.
