DESCRIPTION
“The Hopi are without doubt among the most interesting of our surviving American Indians , and one of the very few groups recently living in a state similar to that of a few hundred years ago . For the anthropologist the complexity of the ethnic elements that in the last three and a half centuries have combined to produce the modern Hopi , and the astonishing richness of their religious ceremonies , present a field crowded with opportunity . Artist and traveler are invariably entranced with the picturesque desert environment of the Hopi , with their ancient , many-storied , cliff-perched pueblos , their dramatic dances and artistic ceremonial costumes , their pleasing pottery and basketry , and no less pleasing manners” (Curtis , The North American Indian , Volume 12 , page 3) .
