Hopi 1



In the summer of 1998 I was doing a series of interviews with Indian women of different nations. Tony didn't like me being out on the road alone so we all (I mean that the two dogs went too) took a trip to the Navajo and Hopi Nation. He fell for all Hopi stood for and had a good time talking to a Hopi artist from the badger and butterfly clan. These are Hopi maidens with the typical butterfly whorl on top of the mesa, small kachinas surround them, yet they are wearing Navajo jewelry, which indeed they sometimes do.
