Synopsis
This traditional Hopi tale recounts the courage and cleverness of a tiny field mouse striving to protect the village from a mighty hawk who is stealing the chickens. It was originally published in 1944 by the Bureau of Indian Afffairs. The drawings are by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie who was born at the turn of the twentieth century on the Second Mesa. Kabotie was commissioned by the Museum of the American Indian in New York to record authentic native dances and by the Fred Harvey Company to decorate the Indian Tower on the south Rim of the Grand Canyon. The book is in English and phonetic Hopi with a pronunciation guide.

About the Author
Edward A. kennard collaborated with Hopi storyteller Albert Yava to create this story as part of a literacy project for the Department of Education, Bureau of Indian Affairs, in 1944.
Hopi artist Fred Kabotie (1900-1986) began his artistic career by illustrating Taytay's Memories a book of stories by Elizabeth DeHuff. He continued to illustrate books and stories throughout his illustrious career, which included commissions from the Heye Foundation, the Fred Harvey Company, and the Indian Arts and Crafts Board; a Guggenheim Fellowship; teaching painting in the Hopi schools; and directing the Hopi Arts and Crafts Guild. He is generally regarded as the dean of early Southwestern Indian painting.
