Winter winds tug at prayer feather tied
to a bush in the hope of more harmonious times. The Hopis believe
that the feathers are invested with evils that will be removed as
the bush is stripped bare, making a spiritual space for the good
that will replace them.

The promise of a bright future shines
in the eyes of a young woman wearing the butterfly hairstyle

people will endure. |

Hopi Indians, Arizona |
|
|
|
|
The white man is proud of his
juvenile courts; the Hopi red man is proud that he has no need for
such institutions. A Hopi father considers it an essential duty to
teach his children to abhor lying and stealing, to respect and obey
their elders, and to be self-supporting. |

A Girl Weaver –
Like their neighbors the Hopi and the
Navajo, the Zuni are as skilled weavers of blankets and belts.
Their textile work is durable and shows great variety of design.
The Navajo blanket has become one of the most popular articles

Two Beauties of the Zuni –
The Zuni women are attractive Indian
types when young; the Zuni pottery still is made according to
aboriginal methods and patterns.
The latter is as distinctive for its
coloring as is the exquisite ware of the Chaco Canyon for its
black and white design. |
