Description

From first-hand experience, the author tells of daily life among the Hopi Indians in Northern Arizona–their beliefs, rituals and Catcina (Kachina) ceremonies. The interaction and conflict between the Anglo and Indian cultures are presented from the viewpoint of the Hopi family. Robert Boissiere, born in Paris, France, came to the United States after World War II. A member of the French army, he was imprisoned in a Nazi prison camp from which he managed to escape and join a group of Basques in the Pyrenees. After moving to California, Boissiere found himself on an artistic and spiritual pilgrimage to the Hopi villages. There he was adopted by a Hopi family and became a participant in their cultural life. “The Hopi Way” is based on his experiences living as a Hopi. He is also the author of “Po Pai Mo,” also from Sunstone Press.
