Product Description
In the Truth of a Hopi, Edmund Nequatewa relates the Hopis' myths, legends, belief systems, and oral history. Nequatewa's writings give us a glimpse into the psyche of the Hopi in the way that only a Hopi could. Here you will find not only the traditional oral histories, but stories of how the Hopi resisted sending their children away to enforced boarding schools. A fascinating view of a subtle people.

Intriguing History September 9, 2008
Edmund Nequatewa's telling of Hopi history is intriguing and readable. The title makes clear that this is one man's truth. The Hopi tribal structure is clan based and some accepted clan groups actually have a different language. Therefore, the stories told over a hundred generations properly vary from clan to clan. This book recounts the story of the Hopi as learned and understood by one man who appears to make no special claims for himself. That is refreshing. The book is rare in that it is authored by a Hopi, not a visiting anthropologist, however worthy that anthropologist might be. The text is clear yet written with some of the pattern used in Hopi speech. For me it has been a pleasure to read.
