MORNING ( del a va i) KA CHI N A
The colorful religious ceremonies of the Hopi Indians of Northern Arizona are notable
for their wildly beautiful 'Kachina' dances. The masked dancers, chanting in age-old
cadences, are at the very heart of Hopi religious and emotional life, and have been for
more centuries than anyone surely knows. Rituals follow a' tradition so pure that the
white man's civilization has not visibly affected it.
Many Hopis consider the Morning Kachina, symbolizing the coming of dawn, one of
their most handsome. Ceremonies are marked by chants and the sound of copper bells.
Some of the bells used by the Morning Kachina impersonators were brought in by
Spanish Padres in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Four large Kachinas are on display at The Arizona Bank here in Flagstaff, and an extensive
collection in The Arizona Bank head office at 44 West Monroe in Phoenix.
The Arizona Bank Kachinas were carved by native artisans on the Third Mesa Hopi
village of Oraibi, one of the oldest inhabited communities on the North American
continent. Great care was taken to ensure authenticity, not only of masks and dress but
of colors as well.

POW wow
What It Is How It Began
The All-Indian Pow 'iVow is the end result of
location and circumstance. It is All Indian because the
Indians are here - 14 tribes live in Arizona, and the
Navajo occupy the largest reservation in the U.S. It
is a Pow Wow because it is an Indian gathering for
the three-day celebration, presided over by the San
Francisco Peaks, the "place of snows where the thun­der
sleeps" as the Navajo call it.
Flagstaff is in the heart of Indian country. To the
north live the Hopi and Navajo, to the southeast the
Apache, to the west, the Havasupai, Hualapai and
Yavapai. In southern Arizona are the Papago, Pima,
Maricopa, and Yaqui. Along the Colorado River
farther west are the Chemehuevi, Cocopah, Mohave,
and Yuma.
The coming together of the tribesmen of the
Southwest has been an annual event for over thirty
years. They are jOined in the Pow Wow celebration
by their neighbors in New Mexi'co, the Pueblo people,
and by tribesmen from Oklahoma" Wyoming, South
Dakota and other states.
There is a precedent for the celebration at Flag­staff
that dates back to 1876. Accounts differ, but one
version relates that in 1876 a party of emigrants,
California-bound, camped at the spring not far from
what is now the City Park. To celebrate Independence
Day, they trimmed a tall pine into a flagstaff and flew
the American flag, fired shots into the air and whoop­ed
it up in general. Indians in the vicinity heard the
noise, came to investigate and were invited to join
the fun. The trimmed tree remained a landmark for
many years and was still standing in 1883. There is
general agreement on one point: that is how Flagstaff
got its name.
For several years in the 1920's the local organiza­tion
of Elks put on a July Fourth celebration called
the "Days of '49" which attracted so many Indian
onlookers that a number of businessmen suggested
starting an Indian show. The idea caught on. The
Indians were invited to come to town for a commun­ity
celebration with plenty of free food and a chance
to play games and have races and dances. The suc­cess
of the first celebration in 1929 set the general
pattern and marks the beginning of the Pow Wow
of today.
It was a success from both points of view; the
Indians had fun , they met old friends and made new
ones, traded their goods and found it convenient to
buy supplies; the townspeople also had fun, and busi­nessmen
took in dollars.
In the early years of Pow Wow the celebration
was a community affair with everyone pitching in to
help. Beef and mutton, beans and potatoes were
served free to the Indian visitors. They in turn pro­vided
entertainment, playing games in the afternoon
and dancing in the evening. It soon developed into
an all-Indian show.
A celebration, to most Indians, is a "great chicken
pull." A version of this ancient sport was one of the
afternoon games, with a sack of sand buried in the
ground instead of a live chicken. The trick was to
yank the sack from the ground while astride a fast­running
horse. The little · Indian ponie~ of those days
could not always support the rider as he swooped
down to grab the sack, and spills were frequent and
hilarious.
The tug-of-war was a popular contest, particularly
between the Mohave and Navajo women. As the Mo­have
were quite large and prone to use a 300-pounder
as "anchor woman," they almost always won in spite
of fierce resistance from the Navajo. The tug-of-war
led to so much quarreling among the contestants that
it finally had to be discontinued.
Other Indian games included the Hopi "stick­and-
stone race." Contestants ran barefooted and the
game was played by putting a smallish stone on one
foot, throwing it with a swing of the foot, then run­ning
to the spot where it landed and replaCing it on
the foot without the use of the hands. This went on
for the distance of a mile, twice around the track.
Since 1934 the annual celebration has been
sponsored and staged by Pow Wow, Inc., a non-profit
organization with a board of directors composed of
local business and professional men who serve without
pay. Tribal leaders assist in making rules and decid­ing
how events are to be handled. Before each Pow
Wow they meet with board members in a breakfast
conference to make policy decisions.
Truly, the Pow Wow has provided a place of
learning and understanding for both the participant
and the spectator.
EACH DAY
10
The Parade
11 A.M. each day of Pow Wow is
parade time. Promptly at 11, t.he In­dians
who participate in the festival
start their parade moving through the
streets of downtown Flagstaff. Like
other events, it b an all-Indian affair
and there are marching bands, dance
groups in full regalia, and cowboys
riding their finest horses. A unique
feature is the procession of Navajo
horse-drawn wagons in the parade.
The parade is a preview of the
events to follow. The coy boy riders
will compete in the afternoon rodeos;
the dance groups in their ceremonial
costumes will take part in the evening
performances. The dancers pause now
and then, espeCially at strcet corners,
to exccute a few steps to the beat of
a drum. As they dance, there is the
jingle of bells, the dick of turtle
shells.
The procession of Navajo wagons
- for many years a special feature -
is the traditional climax of the parade.
The driver may be a Navajo man
sitting erect, one hand on the brake­handle,
or a Navajo woman in full
skirt of satin, velveteen blouse with
long sleeves, wearing a wealth of
handmade silver set with turquoise.
Part of the fun of this parade is
watching the crowds. Not all of the
Indians are in the line of march. They
are also on the sidelines along with
the Pow Wow visitors and townspeo­ple
of Flagstaff. The alert observer
will catch many incidents of human
interest and humor, as the crowds
gather in the July Fourth festivity.
The Rodeo
EACH DAY ruM
A full schedule of rodeo events for
the Indian cowboys will get underway
each afternoon at 1 :30 p.m. at the
Pow Wow in the arena at City Park.
The action, which is rapid and con­tinuous,
will keep the camera bugs
hopping from the beginning to the
end of the show.
The Indian cowboys, although ama­teur
contestants in the Pow Wow,
have long and tedious hours of every­day
range experience and practice
behind them when Pow Wow time
rolls around.
Most of the entrants come from the
huge Nav<;l.jo Reservation located near
Flagstaff. Some, however, are Apache,
Hualapai, Havasupai or even Chem­huevi.
But what ever their tribe, there
will be high competition and friendly
rivalry between tribes and individuals
in all events.

dielIlS perform "dances" which are not
dances in the white man's sense of
the word. They are ritualistic: patterns
passed down through generations -
dramatized prayers that deibcs un­derstand
and answer. The significance
of every detail may he known only hy
r ligious leaders, but the Indians un­derstand
why the dance must be per­formed
correctly and well. They find
communion with their deities in the
meaningful tempo of the drum and
chant, and every action is a suppli­cation.
Although most of the dances are
religious in nature, a few are social
dances or reflect a common exper­ience.
It is as hard for the non-Indians
to grasp the meaning of Indian dances
as it is for a white man to explain his
symbols and rituals.
The dances for each of the three
evenings arc vari d. Some of the
more significant dances are perform­ed
each night while others are
changed or, for religiOUS reasons,
executed only on speCific nights. As
a background to the dance tempo,
three huge bonfires are lit in the Pow
'Vow arena and flood lights ar llsed
to highlight the dancers. The usc of
flash is I\OT permitted since it would
only des troy the mood being created.
The photographs in this magazine
of the night ceremonials \vere a]]
taken by the available light provided .
See page 37 for photo tips.
The dance seen on the left is the
Apache Crown Dance. Also known as
the Nlountain Spirits Dance, it is the
principle dance of the Apaches and
one of the most dramatic and excit­ing
of Indian ceremonies. It is given
to initiate young girls into woman­hood
and follows fou r days of purifi­cabon
and instruction by older wom-en.
The night ceremonial dances begin
at fu ll darkness, approximately at 8
p .m. Often it is cool in the evening, so
in order to be comfortable it is sug­gested
that you b ring coats and
blankets.

Encampment
at the Pow Wow Grounds
Another interesting feature at Pow Wow time is the
Indian encampment in the pines at City Park, where
thousands of tribesmen camp for the three-day celebra­tion.
They begin to arrive well in advance to select the
best sites, and some groups by tacit agreement use the
same location year after year.
Visitors are welcome for the Indians not only live
here during Pow Wow but do a brisk trade in handi­crafts.
It is a "behind the scenes" experience to walk
through the encampment. Here the Indians set up tents
and improvised shelters, or sleep in the back of trucks.
The wagons that rolled in the parade are parked near the
owner's camp and horses are tethered here and there.
Every family or group has its own cooking fire, and the
air is full of the smell of burning pine and juniper.
Stripes of CCjerky" hang from ropes strung between
branches.
The Indians crowd into every available space, sand­wiched
in between the early comers who had a choice
of sites. Trucks and passenger cars are parked between
tents. In the evening hundreds of campfires burn brightly
among the trees. Something is always cooking, and
coffee bubbles incessantly in smoke-smudged pots. After
the evening performance, the Indians gather around
their campfires to visit and relate the highlights of the
day's events. Continued on page 35

Indian Tribes of the Southwest
Once a year Flagstaff becomes the scene of a unique pageant of
the past as tribes of Indians from all parts of the West re-enact native
rituals, many of which were already centuries old when the first white
man arrived more than 400 years ago. At the Pow Wow visitors may
see dances, hear songs, and purchase Indian handicrafts that have
been produced in this area for over a thousand years.
Listed below are a few identifying characteristics of the fourteen
resident tribes in Arizona.
THE NAVAJO: The largest tribe living on the largest reserva­tion
in the United States, the Navajo are rapidly increasing in number
and quickly adopting the white man's way of life. They are semi­nomadic,
moving with their sheep and goats from winter to summer
homes and doing some farming.
The Navajo are famous as weavers and silversmiths. The posses­sion
and display of jewelry is a significant measure of the individual's
wealth; consequently quantities of "hard goods" may deck the satin
skirts and velvet blouses of the women or the store-bought shirts and
levis of the Il}en.
THE APACHE: Living on the San Carlos and White Mountain
Reservations, the Apache are known as the Indian Cattlemen. The
men dress in typical cowboy outfits, while the women prefer long,
full, tiered skirts with loose over-blouses patterned after the late
nineteenth century dresses. The Apache still ex cell in basket making.

THE PIMA AND PAP AGO: Similar in cultures, the Pima (River
Dwellers) and Papago (Bean People) dress in modern western
styles. Most of them have become Christianized. Learning to farm
with heavy machinery and large-scale agricultural planning, they are
developing their economy on long range programs. The Papago raise
cattle and have fine herds. The Pima and Papago make baskets, weav­ing
them with willow and yucca fibers.
THE HOPI: The Hopi live in compact villages, called Pueblos,
on three mesas roughly seventy-five miles northeast of Flagstaff. Their
ancestors had lived in northeastern Arizona for over 2000 years before
they settled permanently on the mesas over 600 years ago. The Hopi
are well known for their craft work, particularly their carved and
colorfully painted wooden Kachina dolls, their fine pottery, their
coiled and wicker basketry, and in recent years their overlay silver
jewelry.
THE PAIUTE: Living in the far northwestern part of Arizona
and on reservations in four other states - California, Nevada, Utah,
and Oregon - most Paiute speak English, live and dress like the
white man, and engage in cattle raising and wage work as their major
sources of income. The most distinctive craft created by the Paiute is
the wedding basket, a coiled, shallow basket used by the Navajo
Indians because of its finish and symbolic design.
THE CHEMEHUEVI: The Chemehllevi Indians are located on
the Colorado River Reservation. Deserving of mention, although no

THE COCOPA: Less than a hundred in number,
the Cocopa tribe lives on the lower Colorado. The major­ity
of the tribe work on the farms of white men.
THE MOHAVE: The majority of the Mohave live
on two reservations - the Fort Mohave and the Colo­rado
River Reservations. Most of their crafts are dying
out, and the Mohave women have turned from making
pottery to the creation of ties, belts, capes and purses
made from glass beads.
THE HA V ASUP AI: The beautiful Havasu Canyon
is the reservation home of the IIavasupai Indians.
Relatively isolated, these people sustain themselves with
farming and off reservation wage work. Most of their
native crafts are gone but for the conical burden baskets
which the women still make.
THE HU ALAP AI (or W ALAP AI ): Neighbors to
the Havasupai, the Hualapai live in and above the can­yons

cattlemen and lumbermen. Their basketry is well
made and follows traditional designs.

Apache bands, and others at the Ft. McDowell Reser­vation,
the Camp Verde Reservation, and the Yavapai
Reservation. The Yavapai may be said to be farmers,
wage workers, industrial employees, or cattle raisers,
depending upon the reservation on which thy live. The
only native craft that survives is basketry.
THE MARICOPA: Spread between the Gila River
and Salt River Reservations, the Maricopa have adopted
the Pima economy and have borrowed many of the
Pima crafts. Maricopa potters create "unusual-shaped"
ceramic bowls, many of which have an admirable high
polish and all of which have been popular commercially.
THE YUMA: Some of the Yuma Indians live in
California, but many of them work in Arizona making
their living by wage work. Their crafts are disappearing
and only a little pottery is still made.
The Pow 'Vow brings Indians from all the reserva­tions
and towns in the United States. Among those com­ing
from out of the state who participate prominently in
the festivities are the Plains Indians. With their brilliant
feathers and flair for showmanship, they add a spectac­ular
dash to the celebration.
Both during the parade and at the night ceremonies
you are afforded excellent opportunities to notice the
differences in the various tribes, as well as trying your
own hand at distinguishing one from the other.

While You Are Here
Northern Arizona has much to offer the vacationist. The Pow Wow is our
summer highlight attraction, however, there ar.e many other scenic places that
can be taken in one day trips, with Flagstaff as home base. On the succeeding
pages you will find six such trips, each with a detailed map, mileages, and the
highlights along the way. Drive carefully - happy travelling.
Of all the scenic attractions in the
United States, none is more well known
than the Grand Canyon. A trip to visit
this mile deep chasm is a must in the
life time of every American.
From Flagstaff, take US 180 North,
toward the San Francisco Peaks. You
will go along one of the most beautiful
drives in northern Arizona, viewing
aspen and ponderosa pine in a natural
undisturbed setting.
At Valle, US 180 joins highway 64 and
from there it is 20 miles to' the park en­trance.
The Park Service auto fee at the
Grand Canyon is $1.00.
You will want to make your first stop­ping
point in the Grand Canyon at the
Park Service information headquarters,
about two miles past the entrance. A
Ranger is on duty and he can provide
whatever information and maps you may
need. At this headquarter building there
is a very interesting series of displays
showing how the Grand Canyon was
formed through the ages. There are
many places along the Rim of the can­yon
to stop and take pictures.
After leaving the Park you can return
to Flagstaff the way you came, a 79 mile
drive, or by heading east, toward US 89
and then south to Flagstaff (a total dis­tance
of 108 miles). This longer route
will take you through a corner of the
Navajo Reservation and show you some
of the Painted Desert scenery to the
east. You will pass by both Wupatki
and Sunset Crater National Monument,
which are described in Trip No.3.

Flagstaff ..
This is a trip into the days of yester­day-
of frontier towns-of mining towns
-of ghost towns.
Head south from Flagstaff along the
Black Canyon Highway (US 79) toward
Phoenix. DON'T turn off to Oak Creek
Canyon or Sedona on this trip-that we
save for Trip No.5.
In this fast moving world a look into
a cracker-barrel style country store will
prove to be a refreshing change of pace.
Mountainaire, 8 miles south of Flagstaff,
with its one general store provides just
the right setting for a community in the
pines.
Heading south again on US 79 one
comes to the National Monuments; Mon­tezuma
Well and Montezuma Castle.
The two places are actually misnamed
since Montezuma never came from Mex­ico
to see them and the 'castle' is actually
a well preserved Indian cliff dwelling.
The two sites are near each other with
a connecting road and present an inter­esting
study of the ways of the Indian
in the era 1125 to 1400 A.D.
As you come to the Verde River turn
east to Camp Verde and you will visit
a present day farming community with
a pioneering history. Fort Verde, once
known as Fort Lincoln, has a museum
with many of the authentic pieces used
in the days when the west was won.
From Camp Verde head west onto
highway 279 which will take you into
Cottonwood, Clarkdale and on to Jerome
-the Lively Ghost Town.
Here lies a mining town, preserved
with the romance of the old west from
the days when copper was king. A bil­lion
dollars of gold, silver and copper
were pulled from these hills. The town
has preserved the look and character of
the mining days.
Your first stop in Jerome should be
at the Mine Museum in the center of
town. Here you will find a rare collection
of the actual tools and equipment that
were used to wrest a mineral fortune
from the ground.
The route back to Flagstaff can be
through Sedona and Oak Creek (see
Trip No.5) or you can return via the
Black Canyon Highway that you came
on. Either drive will take about an hour
and a quarter.

oft US 66, 20 miles from Sunset Crater.
The Indians lived at Walnut Canyon
ceturies ago as cliff dwellers along the
edge of this eroded canyon. Trip 3
The two park areas, Wupatki and
Sunset Crater, are 30 miles north of
Flagstaff on US 89.
Wupatki National Monument contains
about 800 Indian ruins. Wupatki itself
is one of the most impressive pueblos in
northern Arizona. It walls rise from a
sandstone spur at the base of a black
lava mass that overlooks the Painted
Desert, with the ancient ball court and
amphitheater below the ruin.
In A.D. 1064, the few Indians living
at and near what is now Sunset Crater
Monument were startled by the out­break
of a volcanic eruption. (The exact
date of the eruption has been determined
by Carbon-14 tests of timbers buried by
the cinders and ashes). When the erup­tion
ceased, a new cider cone, 1,000 ft.
high had been built with jagged lava
flows at its base.
These two National Monuments are
connected by an unpaved 11 miles of
road that is an interesting scenic drive
along the edge of the Painted Desert.
Walnut Canyon to the south is just
The preserved ruins are on a well
marked path presented to demonstrate
how the people lived in that era. The
Park Service has built a new visitor's
center here and the ways of the tribes
are explained with dioramas and arti­facts
found in the area.
Meteor Crater is a privately owned
attraction that was created in an instant
by a gigantic meteor. This is the famous
crater that is pictured and written up
in geographical textbooks. The hole is
4,150 feet across, three miles around at
the top edge, and 570 feet deep! Its
immense size is one of those things that
has to be seen to be appreciated.
The museum is located at the edge
of the crater, looking into it. A recorded
lecture about the Meteor Crater and
meteorites in general is played continu­ously
both in the museum and out on the
observation decks on the crater's rim.
You can even hike to the bottom of the
crater if you wish.
The trip back to Flagstaff from
Meteor Crater is 40 miles along route 66.
METEOR CRATER
Just off U. S. Route ® - Between Flagstaff and Winslow
Meteor C rater - the world 's first proven meteorite crater -
is 4,150 feet from rim to rim, three miles in circumference and 570
feet deep. Such man-made wonders as the Washington Monument
and the massive Great Pyramid of Cheops of Egypt are dwarfed by
its giant dimensions.

L,

If you have come from a crowded
city then you will find the Indian Reser­vations
hard to believe. These are areas
where you cannot see telephone lines,
billboards, etc. All you will see is the
handiwork of God. And He did His
best. Even the flat open stretches have a
majesty all their own for you to behold.
Drive north from Flagstaff (on US 89)
67 miles to the Navajo Trail turnoff
leading to Tuba City. Already you will
be on the Navajo Reservation and will
begin to see the wonderful expanse of
beauty.
Tuba City, 11 miles from the turnoff,
is typical of the Navajoland in that it is
a mixture of the old and the new. Visit
the Tuba City Trading Post (est. 1870)
and the Tuba City Community center
(built in 1960 by the Navajo Tribe).
New service stations are seen with horse
drawn wagons passing slowly alongside.
A few miles along the Navajo Trail
you will come to Tsegi Canyon. The
Trading Post alongside the road at
Tsegi is typical of the trading posts
whose main business is in dealing all
year long with the Navajo and Hopi
from the reservations.
Eight miles beyond is the town of
Kayenta. From here one can travel
another 75 miles east to the Four Cor­ners,
where Arizona, Utah, New Mexico
and Colorado meet or you can head
north from Kayenta into Monument Val­ley
and Utah's Canyonlands.
Monument Valley is a land of spectac­ular,
red sandstone buttes. The color­ations,
formations and effects are well
worth taking the time to se. Since Monu­ment
Valley is 175 miles from Flagstaff,
this trip should be planned as a two
day trip.
Flagstaff
About 50 miles east of Tuba City you
will see the sign r:larking the north turn­off
to the Navajo National Monument.
Here the Park Service is putting in a new
paved road and a new visitor's center
near the Betatakin Ruins. Two other
cliff dwellings in this Park area are Keet
Seel and Inscription House, all original­ly
discovered by John Wetherill.
Motel space in this area is always
tight during the summer months as the
all weather paved roads have been in
less than two years. Motels and guided
tours will be found at Kayenta, Arizona,
at Mexican Hat, Utah and at Goulding's
Trading Post in Monument Valley. The
motel operators in Flagstaff can give
you complete details. Reservations
should be made in advance.

To drive through Oak Creek and on
to Sedona is an experience that many
consider on a par with seeing the Grand
Canyon. In many ways it is better since
Oak Creek is an area you can drive into,
feel the magnitude of the surrounding
canyon walls and fish the streams from
within a short walk from your car.
From Flagstaff, drive south on US 79
and 89. The turnoff point is only a couple
miles out of the city limits and from here
you travel south six miles to the head
of the Oak Creek Canyon. Here one
wants to stop and view the country he
is about to enter. The Canyon is before
you, covered with pine and aspen, a
sight to be photographed and remem­bered.
The drive down is winding but the
road is very good, with plenty of width
and it is well marked. Nobody hurries­the
scenery is just too pretty to be used
up too quickly.
Next stop along the way - Slide Rock.
This is a water slide in Oak Creek that
is a very popular swimming hole during
the summer. The most attractive part
isn't visible directly from the road, how­ever
you will know when you are there
from the large number of cars (and
maybe buses) near the bridge that goes
over Oak Creek.
In Sedona you will find a well spent
afternoon of browsing through the many
shops in this community that already
has a world wide reputation as an
artist's colony. A great deal of original
and creative art work is being done in
Sedona, both by Indians and non­Indians.
A visit to Sedona's Art Barn will prove
well worth the time. It is located on the
left side as you enter Sedona, just be­hind
the shop, "East meets West".

BUFFALO PARK - Located on the north side of Flag­staff
(see center map ) . Buffalo Park will open this
spring as a new attraction within the city limits of
Flagstaff. Buffalo Park will be an area f,or unpenned
animals such as deer, elk, antelope, and, of course, buffa­lo.
The animals will have the run of the land and visitors
will see them in their natural state. The tours through
the park will be made by stage coach and mule back,
in keeping with the days of the old west.
Besides the animals themselves there will be an Old
Trappers Cahin, Indian Hogans, and a replica of Old
Flagstaff, from the days of 1880. An "island" in the park
will serve as a zoo within a zoo for domestic animals.
Buffalo Park will be open seven days a week and
will be a worthwhile attraction to boys and girls of all
ages. A nominal admission will be charged.
SOUTHWEST FOREST INDUSTRIES-If you would
like to tour a modern lumber mill, you are invited to

Here is a trip that shows the many
sides of the Flagstaff area without too
much driving.
From Flagstaff head east and north,
up US 89. Camp Townsend is located
on this highway about 3 miles north of
town and is a nice place to plan a
picnic. If you are coming to Falgstaff
with a trailer or camper, Camp Town­send
makes an ideal spot to stay. It's a
commercial camp ground so there's no
time limit.
North on US 89 you can visit Sunset
Crater and the Wupatki National Monu­ments
(see trip no. 3).
One mile south of the Sunset Crater
turnoff you will see the signs pointing
to the Schultz Pass road which heads
west of the US 89 highway. Schultz Pass
is a graded dirt road that winds along
at the foot of the San Francisco Peaks
for 11 miles. This is a very pretty drive
so don't forget your camera and plenty
of color film.
The Schultz Pass road comes out on
the north-west side of Flagstaff, about 5
miles from the Pow Wow grounds. As

Museum of Northern Arizona
by Joanne Babbitt
"We came to see the museum of ideas," said a
recent visitor to the Museum of Northern Arizona.
That Flagstaff has a museum with an international
reputation and scientific prestige is in itself the story
of an idea, which took definite shape through letters
written in 1922 between J. C. Clarke, a local postal
clerk and amateur archeologist, and Dr. Harold S.
Colton, then Professor of Zoology at the University of
Pennsylvania who had spent summer vacations in
northern Arizona. Both men felt, as did other citizens,
that the scientific resources of northern Arizona should
be preserved locally. A committee, headed by E. G.
Miller, took charge of organization and elected the
first board of trustees. Dr. Colton was elected presi­dent
of the board and Director of the museum. Above
and beyond their goal of maintaining a museum in
Flagstaff to collect and preserve objects of artistic
and scientific interest, the society undertook to pro­vide
facilities for research and publication, protect
scenic places and wild life, and preserve archeolo­gical
sites.
The cornerstone of the first unit of the present
museum was laid in 1935 at the time of the Winter
Solstice and dedicated in the Hopi way by Jimmy Ke­wanwytewa,
custodian, with the name of "Humiovi"
which means "the little seed that germinates." The mu­seum
patio was planted with trees and shrubs to repre­sent
vegetation zones from the top of the 12,670 foot San
Francisco Peaks to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Situated on Fort Valley Road, three miles northwest of
U.S. 66 on Highway 180, the Museum of Northern Ari­zona
offers visitors vivid and comprehensive displays on
the anthropology, geology and biology of the northern
part of the state, where one can see the whole story of a
Jimmy Kewanwytewa, Hopi craftsman at the
Museum of Northern Arizona, discusses hand-carved
kachina dolls included among the various arts and
crafts on display at the 31st annual Hopi Craftsman
show. The museum, located 3 miles n01thwest of Flag­staff
on Route 180, will be open July 3-4-5-6 from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
land and its people from prehistoric times to the present.
From the day of its founding the museum has had no
admission charge, nor has it received any state or federal
aid. The "little seed" sprouted rapidly and has grown to
an institution with assets now valued at over 2~~ million
dollars. Of three similar institutions started in the South­west
in the early 1900's, it is the only one still operating
iI)dependently.
The museum also offers a series of six special sum­mer
exhibitions to the public. The patio of the museum
will be humming with activity these next few days as
one of the three annual shows gets underway. The Hopi
Craftsman Show, July 3-4-5-6, coincides with the big
Southwest All-Indian Pow Wow, when some 10,000
Indians from two dozen tribes gather in Flagstaff, the
Indian trading center of northern Arizona.
Dr. Colton, now Director Emeritus, and his wife
established this Exhibition thirty-one years ago in hopes
of perpetuating traditional Hopi arts and crafts by pro­viding
encou!agement and an outlet for their continued
production. Rigid specifications for design and materials
were set and the Hopi became used to submitting only
their best work. Competitive entries further stimulate the
individual's efforts and the museum offers cash prizes
and ribbons for outstanding work in various categories as
well as a market for their goods. The Hopi do not sell

At the Campgrounds
AT THE CA 1PGROUNDS (from p. 15)
From the reservations the Indians bring many handi­crafts
to sell at Pow vVow. Navajo women hang their
gaily colored rugs from ropes strung hetween the trees,
or drape them over the tailgate of a truck. Jewelry and
native crafts of every description are displayed for sale
along the main road.
Temporary wooden booths are also set up in the
Pow Wow grounds, where members of many different
tribes spread out their wares; shell necklaces from San
Domingo, mosaic-type Zuni pins, oil paintings and water­colors
by Navajo artists.
Before the evening performance begins, the early
visitor can stroll about the encampment and watch
preparations for the ceremonial dances. The carnival
which yearly entertains both Indian and Anglo visitors
is already underway. Indian children shrill their excite­ment
as they ride the ferris wheel or snap-the-whip for
the first time.
It is cool in Flagstaff in July. To camp for a few
days under the pine trees at the base of the San Fran­cisco
Peaks is a welcome change from the intense sum­mer
heat on the reservation. Far into the night the
Indians visit together and perhaps chant and dance
around their own campfires. The strange sounds which
carry even into the center of town after midnight will
come from the Indian encampment.

RIDIN'
H I G H!
Far from the purple wind-blown spaces,
Far from the Land of Earth and Sky.
In for the Pow-Wow's games and races,
One-Little-Boy is riding high.
Left behind is his belt of silver,
Far away in Navajo Land;
Discarded lie the little moccasins,
Soft, for treading the desert sand.
Overalls, and gay striped sweater,
Cowboy hat on childish head;
(One-Little-Boy thinks this is better)
Cowboy boots, in moccasins' stead.
Swing and sway on your painted pony,
So unlike your Indian steed;
Lights, and music, and distant laughter,
Make this a gala ride indeed.
Soon, when the Pow-Wow games are
finished,
Winners hailed with the white man's
cheer,
One-Little-Boy must journey homeward,
Dreaming of Pow-Wow time next year.

Taking Pow Wow Pictures
Parade - Parade shots should be taken at an angle,
to stop the motion - not straight across. If your
camera has shutter speeds, use at least 1/100th
of a sec.
- Indian dances are usually performed at the inter­sections
along the parade route.
- If you are shooting towards the sun allow at
least one more F / stop exposure. Flash will fill
in the heavy shadows and give real professional
results.
Rodeo - KEEP OUT OF THE ARENA.
If you have telephoto lenses bring them. Use
the highest shutter speed you have and fast color
film, like High Speed Ektachrome.
- Don't rely on light meters if you' are back in the
rodeo stands - you pick up too much effect of
the shaded stands. Use a sunlight exposure that
you know or follow the settings given with the
film instructions.
Night Ceremonials - NO FLASH IS ALLOWED -
this is strictly enforced.
- The scenes are lit by flood lights placed be­tween
the audience and the Indians. Using either
Plus X or High Speed Ektachrome, exposures
of 1/ 50th at F / 4 to F / 5.6 will give good results
when the Indians are directly in front of the
lights. For Agfachrome, Kodachrome X, or Ekta­chrome
X, use 1/ 50th at F /2 to F / 2.8. The night
pictures in this magazine were taken on Plus X
film, at these exposures, and processed normally.
(Actually the use of flash would ruin the dra­matic
effects of the dances).
- For movies, use Type A Kodachrome at F / 2.8
(16 frames/sec.)
At the Encampment - There are many human inter­est
scenes to add to your Pow Wow story. The
Indians are somewhat reserved and you should
ask their permission beforehand. If permission
is given, it is generally good taste to pay some­thing
for the privilege.
General Notes - Be careful in the excitement that you
don't roll your 35mm film completely off the
spool. If this should happen, take your camera
to one of the photo shops listed below.
- You do not need to bring lots of film along (just
to bake in the car). The Flagstaff dealers listed
below are well supplied with all kinds of fresh
film for this annual event.

The Lord must have enjoyed himself when he
created this country. He pushed up vast quantities of
massive rock - sculptured them to His liking - painted
them in vivid red, pinks, and shades of white - in solid
colors, stripes, and bands. He ran His finger down the
middle to create a deep canyon - put a quiet yet noisy,
a placid yet turbulent stream down the middle. He
planted tall trees, crooked h"ees - made flat spots for
people to live on - steep spots for people to climb on
- easy to get to places - hard to get to places.
And then He sat back to watch how everybody
would enjoy His handiwork.
That they do . . .
Oak Creek is a favorite spot for many vacationists
due to the wonderful summer temperatures and good
fishing. There are many campgrounds throughout the
Canyon area as well as cabins with housekeeping facil­ities
for those who want to make extended vacations in
this area.
The trout fishing is considered by those who know,
to be some of the best in the southwest. Much of this
is due to the efforts of the Arizona Game and Fish De­partment
who plant the stream with catchable trout
during the summer season. Don't forget your fishing
gear when you head for the Pow Wow - and hring
your camera to show the people back home what Oak
Creek fishing is like.
The coloration of the rocks in the Sedona area
makes this spot a photographer's paradise. The pictorial
combination between Oak Creek's running stream, the
green foliage and rich red rocks make for sure winners at
next winters' camera club competitions.
Sedona has motels and a wide variety of shops for
your every need. In addition to fine collections of Indian
arts from the entire southwest, Sedona itself is a center
where a lot of creative arts and crafts are being produced
today. This red rock country has become an art center
and many full time artists have moved to Sedona to live
year around.
Below Sedona the red rock scenery continues­the
photograph at the head of this story was taken at
Baldwin's Crossing and shows the formation known as
Cathedral Rock on the lower part of Oak Creek.
