General Note:
"This volume ... continues the MNA's tradition of research on the cultural history of the Colorado Plateau and the connection of that history to the contemporary life and culture of the Hopi people. The volume is one of the results of a ten-year collaborative initiative, now called the Hopi Iconography Project, to document and understand the continuities in Hopi culture over the past thousand years as their ancestral clans made their migrations acoss and around the Colorado Plateau before coming together at their "Middle Place," Tuuwanasavi, the Hopi Mesas, to become the Hopi that we know today"--P. v.
