About the Author
The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (HCPO) is charged with representing Hopi cultural interests both within and outside the reservation, a responsibility that requires the involvement of the Hopi villages, clans, and religious societies, as well as the Hopi tribal government. Through the collection of remarkable photographs gathered here, authors Stewart B. Koyiyumptewa and Carolyn O'Bagy Davis have provided the outside world with a rare look into this unique culture. A member of the Badger/Butterfly Clan, Koyiyumptewa is from Hotevilla, located on the Third Mesa, and has worked for the HCPO as the tribal archivist for eight years. Davis, a fourth-generation descendant of Utah pioneers, is the author of numerous books on the history of the American West.
