Painted Rock Reservoir Project, Phase I: Preliminary Survey and Recommendations

Lynn S Teague,Anne R Baldwin

More than half a century of contact between the author and the Hopi people has resulted in an unusual opportunity for long informative talks with friends from the villages. These conversations in a variety of circumstances have helped to give depth to an understanding and appreciation uncommon among persons not born and raised in the Hopi way… . This work gives a comprehensive view of the Hopi as a people, in length of time covered as well as in depth and breadth. –Utah Historical Quarterly It is personal yet precise, emotional and involved, yet objective and factual… . Readers who know something of Hopi history will be fascinated by the new insights and interpretations presented by James. –Arizona and the West

The author has been an active supporter of Hopi interests for some fifty years and this book is as much a testimony to his unflagging personal devotion to a small and neglected tribe as it is a history of the Hopis’ determination to maintain their identity and self-respect. –Journal of Arizona History

Harry James writes with sympathy and restraint about a proud people who have suffered unjustly in the past, and who today are seeking an identity. He brings into sharp focus the dreams for tomorrow of the Hopi tribe. Let these dreams be shared by others before it is too late. –The American West

An amazing and gripping account of a very great and intelligent people, concentrating on fact rather than the fantastic legends that have grown up around this unique culture. –The Masterkey

The Hopi are indeed a most interesting people, and this authentic account of their way of life is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Indian tribes of Arizona. –The Book Exchange

For an excellent account of the history of the Hopi, the Southwest, typical government intervention into tribal affairs and the lives of the people … a must for any library. –Whispering Winds
