Here the noted folklorist brings together traditional accounts of epic events and adventures in the life of Hopi clans and villages, from legendary to historical times. The setting of these various adventures and events is not the Southwest as we know it today, but a vast and largely unpeopled wilderness in which clans and families wandered in search of a final living place, and in search of their collective identity. Notes, a pronunciation guide, and a glossary enhance the readerÂ’s appreciation of the text.

Exceptional,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fourth World of the Hopis: The Epic Story of the Hopi Indians as Preserved in Their Legends and Traditions (Paperback)
This is an exceptional compilation of Hopi stories and legends. Having read many books about Hopi, I have found nothing to compare. This is a 'must read' for all who are interested in building or adding to their knowledge of the Hopi Way. This is not a new book, but the title and the content have stood the test of time. Enjoy!

Fourth World of the Hopi by Courlander,
This review is from: The Fourth World of the Hopis: The Epic Story of the Hopi Indians as Preserved in Their Legends and Traditions (Paperback)
As an archaeologist, Pima College instructor and tour guide to the Hopi mesas over the last twelve years I have found my copy of Courlander to be invaluable as a reference volume on these fascinating people. Along with James, (Pages from Hopi History) it has formed the basis of all the information I have needed to better educate the "bahana" on the ways of the Hopitusinom.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Fourth World of the Hopis: The Epic Story of the Hopi Indians as Preserved in Their Legends and Traditions (Paperback)
I found this to be a very authentic account of Hopi mythology. Added bonuses were "Notes on Stories" section in back; nice artwork by Arno, which added to overall myth feeling; and a few songs written in sheet music style.
