Native American Indian culture is known for its rich oral traditions. The tribal elders used vibrant tales to pass information to the younger generations. These stories were not only related to tribal history but were meant to entertain as well as educate, while preserving their tribal culture.Each time an elder told a story, new life was breathed into it. The telling of the stories gave a revived meaning to the tribe’s past and their relations to the earth and the animals they had depended on for existence. In many cases when the stories were told, they were accompanied by music. Drums and rhythm were paired with dance to create a visual record. The Hopi Indians culture was and is rich with these stories. With a past stretching back thousands of years, they are one of the oldest living cultures in documented history. There was a time in Hopi history that when crops were harvested, religious ceremonies had been performed, and the winter wood had been collected. It was at this time that the people broke out into dance and story-telling. It was a time of sharing a rich history. With this book, that time is now.Included in this book, which is one of two volumes is a huge collection of the stories of the Hopi Indians. The stories collected here include: A Journey to the Skeleton House, Korosta Katzina Song, Huruing Wuhti And The Sun, The Wanderings Of The Hopi, The Wanderings Of The Bear Clan (Hon-Namu), The Revenge Of The Katcinas, How The Circle (Pongo) Katcina And His Wife Became Stars, The Kokoshori Katcina And The Shongopavi Maiden, The Two War Gods And The Two Maidens, How The Po’okongs Destroyed Cookoko And His Wife, How Po’okong Killed The Bear, The Po’okongs Attend A Dance, The Po’okongs And The Balolookong, Masauwuu Marries A Maiden, Masauwuu And The Hano Hunter, Two Yayaponchatu Trade In Oraibi, The Kohonino Hunter, The White Corn Maiden And The Sorcerers, Watermelon-Rind Woman (Holo’kop Wuhti), The Youth And The Maiden Who Played Hide And Seek For Their Life, The Maiden Who Stole The Youth’s Costume, The Blind Man And The Lame Man, The Crow As A Spirit Of Evil, The Maiden And The Coyote, Chorzhvuk’iqolo And The Eagles, The Hawk And The Child, and many, more.
