TITLE	A Hopi Mother, Portfolio 12, Plate 403
CREATOR	Curtis, Edward S., 1868-1952
SUBJECT	Hopi Indians
Browse Topic	Native Americans Society and culture
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).
