Summary: BRILLIANT, THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED ON THE HOPI KACHINI
Comment: ON A TRAVEL OF MINE, I WAS VERY, VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MET ALPHA AND HIS NEICE ON THE HOPI RESERVATION. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEETING WOULD BRING AND HERE'S HOPING IT BRINGS MORE DELIGHTS..... THEY ARE THE BEST OF PEOPLE, TRULY A CULTURE THAT LIVES THEIR TRADITIONS, ONE THAT SHOULD BE RESPECTED. I WAS GIVEN A SEED OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON THAT FIRST VISIT AND WAS ANXIOUS TO READ THIS BOOK, WHICH I DID THE WHOLE DAY! IF YOU WANT A BOOK REGARDING THE HOPI KACHINI TRADITION THIS IS IT! THIS BOOK TRULY GIVES US A GOOD PEAK INTO THEIR "RELIGION" AND BELIEFS, ONE THAT I BELIEVE WE CAN NEVER REALLY KNOW FULLY, BUT ALPH HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US A FEW SEEDS. IF YOU MAKE A TRIP TO THE S.W. MAKE SURE YOU STOP AT THE HOPI CULTURE CENTER AND PAY A VISIT. BRING THEM SOME GOOD COFFEE!

Summary: Excellent Book Written By A Hopi
Comment: You can read all the Kachina books you want, but take them all with a grain of salt until you read this one. This is the first book about the Kachina (actually "Katsina") tradition written by a Hopi. That is significant because of the secrecy around the religion. This book was suggested to me by a man who lives on Second Mesa of the Hopi Reservation. He said, "After years of bad books about Kachinas written by white guys, finally there's one written by a Hopi." This book gives the reader a clear understanding of the basics of the Hopi calendar and the Hopi religion. This is not a book about Kachina dolls, although it has photos of approximately 200 old style dolls. It is about the spirits those dolls represent. Buy this book as an indispensable reference. The Heard Museum in Phoenix deserves credit along with the author for presenting this great collection of dolls and descriptions.
