About this Item
First edition. 8vo. As new, unread copy in dust jacket.Two-tone boards, x [4], 274 pp., illustrated, maps, acknowledgments, notes, bibliography, image credits, index. "The Hopi community of Awat'ovi existed peacefully on Arizona's Antelope Mesa for generations until one bleak morning in the fall of 1700--raiders from nearby Hopi villages descended on Aqat'ovi, slaughtering their neighboring men, women, and children." Why did kinsmen target it for destruction? Theories exist that the attack was in retribution for Awat'ovi having welcomed Franciscan missionaries or for the residents' practice of sorcery, and argues that a perfect storm of internal and external crises revitalized an ancient cycle of ritual bloodshed and purification.
