Trade Paperback. Condición: BRAND NEW. viii, 343pp. Perfectbound in printed glossy wraps. New Copy. Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. Without dust jacket as issued. 'This volume brings together twenty-one traditional tales recently retold by Hopi narrators. Compl…ete with English translations and original Hopi transcriptions on facing pages and a bilingual glossary. Hopi Coyote Tales is important to an understanding of the Hopi language and folklore. To nomadic hunters such as the Navajo, who competed with him on the open range, Coyote was by turns a formidable trickster, a demonic witchperson, and a god. As sedentary planters, the Hopis tended to reduce Coyote to the level of a laughable fool. In these tales Coyote is a friendly bumbler whose mistakes teach listeners what tricks to avoid. Time after time he is hurt or killed for failing to understand a situation correctly. The collection is as amusing as animal fables should be, as simply told, and as instructive.'

Trade Paperback. Condición: BRAND NEW. 152pp. Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. From Fr. Haile's introduction: 'The present ceremony belongs to the chantway series among Navajo ceremonials, and is not assigned to the hochoi group, or Ghostway ceremonials. In earl…ier days it was most likely performed as a major ceremonial, and efforts were always made to invite singers of this rite to corral dances of any description. A sandpainting is still made on rare occasions, as (formerly), when a boy and girl would imagine that the alóól or specialty of the toee, which they had represented, had caused sickness. I found this painting in the Wheelwright collection? Further details on such dancers (alóól) could not be obtained. In fact very little is heard of the ceremony today and, no doubt, it must now be classed among minor ceremonials which are only performed occasionally. Undoubtedly, the disappearance of the ceremonial has been gradual and, as the informant stated, it is now largely confined to the cutting of prayersticks. With these particulars his account shows much familiarity and, fortunately, he has been able to give us many details of this phase in Navajo ritualism. He has also been able to present a fairly complete picture of the entire scheme of this vanishing ceremonial. Its connection with Hailway is suggested in the first part of the narrative, but details for comparison between the two ceremonials are not yet at hand. Similarly, the affinities with Downy Featherway are unmistakable. On the other hand, its scheme is entirely distinctive. Water itself, water fowl, water animals and plants are brought to the foreground as a requisite for curing injuries inflicted by this basic element. Originally, venereal and skin diseases must have sought relief in this healing ceremonial. Evidently it overlapped to some extent with the Prostitutingway, as the story of the non-sunlight-struck Pueblo girls seems to indicate.? The informant, however, gives us no further details. Apparently the story is introduced to account for such prayer-sticks as those of Toad, of Spider, of Wrens and White Butterfly. Although, the relation of some of these to the element of water is distant. Whatever the Water Monster may be, this personified being is made singer and author of the ceremonial and it is, apparently, typical of water's power to 'draw persons into it' as its name implies. Dreams relating to 'falling into the water' are ascribed to this being. Dreams that relate to drowning are ascribed chiefly to water horses, which seem to refer to water's power of holding its victim. At that, the informant is not offering us a complete account, but offers details with which he is familiar. These, as said, relate chiefly to the prayersticks. For the translation and many additional suggestions we are indebted to Albert Sandoval of Lukachukai, Arizona.'.

Trade Paperback. Condición: BRAND NEW. ix, 273pp. New Copy. Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. 'Maasaw: Profile of a Hopi God describes the most important Hopi Indian deity as he emerges in a wide range of folk beliefs. God of death and ruler of the underworld, ge…nitor of all animal and plant life, lord of fire and agriculture, mischievous trickster, and powerful war god, Maasaw has gained attributes and associations enough to place him among the most complex of deities. His many faces show both the flexibility of the Hopi religion and its response to modern circumstance. The fourteen chapters in Maasaw: Profile of a Hopi God round out the god's story image, first presented in Stories of Maasaw, a Hopi God. All of the Hopi texts, recorded in the vernacular, are published here for the first time and translated into English. In this volume, as in the other, the object of the bilingual presentation is to preserve the Hopi language and literature for posterity. Maasaw: Profile of a Hopi God, like its companion volume, will attract general readers interested in the Hopi culture and oral tradition, as well as anthropologists, linguists, and folklorists.'.

Trade Paperback. Condición: BRAND NEW. 412pp. This copy was acquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. ''A great contribution to the field of religion [and] also to the domain of Hopi culture. . a genuine document that closes a gap in our understanding of one area of Hopi culture in w…hich little information was available until now.' - Ekkehart Malotki, Northern Arizona University Children of Cottonwood is the first book to investigate a little-known aspect of Hopi religion -the role of puppets and the many ceremonies in which they figure. The puppets -hand puppets, marionettes, and rod pup-pets- dance and reenact sacred events and take part in stories and prayers. They are considered to be members of a family with their own histories and personalities and thus serve a mediating function between household concerns and religious functions. The ceremonies played out by Hopi puppet masters clarify such topics as marriage and gender, the human side of the clan system, rituals and the mechanics of ritualism, animism, mythology and dreams, and the ever-present jealousy between secret societies. Great care and creativity are spent on coercing greater-than-human beings into cooperation. This book was produced with the close cooperation of Hopi speakers in the field. Not until now have the mechanics, performance, and significance of the puppet ceremonies been revealed by the Hopis in their own lan-guage. The texts are elucidated by continual reference to what is being thought and believed, as well as said, during the ceremonial events. Facing pages give the Hopi-language version and the English translation. The commentary by Armin W. Geertz places the ceremonies in their historical, sociological, and religious contexts. Offering Hopi texts never before published, Children of Cottonwood will be indispensable for anyone wishing to understand the functions, formal complexity, and playfulness of Hopi puppetry and the religion in which it figures. Armin W. Geertz is an associate professor of the history of religions at Aarhus University in Denmark. The coauthor, Michael Lomatuway'ma, is a librarian and consultant at Northern Arizona University.'.

Trade Paperback. Condición: BRAND NEW. 238pp. Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. 'The Ajilee, called by Father Haile 'Prostitutionway' and by Gladys Reichard 'Excessway,' is a curing ceremony for what Luckert calls 'general craziness, made manifest in sexual passi…on, prostitution, divorce, wildness, shyness, disorientation, hallucination, intoxication, restlessness, roaming, and Anglo American mobility'. The theme of the Ajilee is that the wildness of game animals can be transmitted to human beings, who eat their meat, thereby making them crazy and given to excessive behavior. For a society that values control and moderation in behavior, any excessive or reckless behavior becomes a kind of sickness. The two versions of the Ajilee story given by Luckert are different aspects of the basic theme of excess craziness. The Claus Chee Sonny version in A Navajo Bringing-Home Ceremony is a curing rite associated with the Enemyway tradition, i.e., the exorcism of evil. The Slim Curly version in Love-Magic and Butterfly People is associated not only with curing, but the power of the chant might also be used to attract the power to compel other people's behavior through Love-Magic, a form of sorcery. The juxtaposition of the two versions is interesting as an example of the two sides of the coin of power as perceived in Navajo chant practice. The Chanter through his knowledge of myth and ceremony compels the attendance of the dieties at the ceremony and the release of their powers. Those powers may be used in a positive sense to attract good to the patient, or they may be used in the exorcistic sense to drive evil forces from the patient's body. But the power may also be manipulated by the singer for his own ends, and thus the singer may be able to practice witchcraft to cause negative (in this case compulsive) powers over others.' (Clara Sue Kidwell review).

Hardcover. Condición: BRAND NEW. viii, 118pp. New Copy. Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. Without dust jacket as issued. From the Introduction: 'The text presented in the following was dictated by Curly Tó Aheedlinii of Chinle, Arizona, as part of the Emergence s…tory of the Navajos. The incident of the separation of the sexes leads up to a situation which provoked the flood, and the flood in turn drives the inhabitants of the lower world up into the present habitat of the human race. This text comprises only part of the origin legend; it is limited to a description of the four sacred mountains, the cardinal points, the sun and moon bearers, the stars, months, night and day, the plants, and also of death and life. The creation of man, together with the origin of rites and ceremonies which were to serve man, are not included. These follow later in the order of the universe. The few songs which are given for the equipment of the sweathouse are not assigned by the informant to any particular rite, nor is the account of the separation and reunion of the sexes assigned in such a way by him.'.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: BRAND NEW. xv, 238pp. New Copy. Our stock was aquired from the series editor, Karl Luckert, who purchased the publisher's backstock. Without dust jacket as issued. 'Upward Moving or Emergence Way is one of the central evening ceremonials of the Navajo Indians. Upward Moving Way - relating the origins of the… Navajos, their emergence from 'down there' into this world - also represents the attempt of Navajo hunter shamans to come to terms with the mythology of the Pueblo farmers they encountered when, centuries ago, the Navajos migrated into the American Southwest. This volume publishes fully, for the first time, the ceremonial as Father Berard Haile recorded in English in 1908. It describes as well a five-night performance of the ceremonial that Father Berard observed in 1908 and includes sketches by the informant and drawings of elements of the sent ratings associated with the ritual.' (Publisher's blub).
