From Martin Cruz Smith, the internationally bestselling author of Gorky Park, comes a reissue of Nightwing. As darkness gathers, the sky is filled with frantic motion and maddening murmurs. In an effort to end the world, an unhappy, aging Native American shaman invokes the Hopi god of death. Those around him remain skeptical, dismissing him as crazy old man. Then they discover his mutilated, bloody body and soon other similarly disfigured bodies...

Provides an overview of the past and present lives of the Hopi, covering their daily life, customs and beliefs, government, and more.

In the Truth of a Hopi, Edmund Nequatewa relates the Hopis' myths, legends, belief systems, and oral history. Nequatewa's writings give us a glimpse into the psyche of the Hopi in the way that only a Hopi could. Here you will find not only the traditional oral histories, but stories of how the Hopi resisted sending their children away to enforced boarding schools. A fascinating view of a subtle people.

"A history of the people and events that influenced the North American Indian tribe known as the Hopi, including chief Lololoma and conflicts such as the strip-mining of Black Mesa"--
