Hopi Kachina: Spirit of Life (Dedicated to the Hopi Tricentennial, 1680-1980)

To celebrate the Hopi Tricentennial (1680-1980), the Science Museum of the California Academy of Sciences arranged an exhibition of Kachina figures (also known as dolls) and other Hopi artifacts. This book beautifully memorializes this exhibit along with extensive text written by prominent Hopi historians and anthropologists. The chapters include articles by Dorothy K. Washburn, Chairman of the Department of Anthropology at the California Academy of Sciences; E. Charles Adams and Deborah Hull, Heads of the Walpi Archeological Project for the Museum of Northern Arizona; Watson Smith, a curator at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University; John Connelly, Professor Emeritus at San Francisco State University; Clara Lee Tanner, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Arizona; John F. Tanner, a former Indian arts and crafts dealer; and J. J. Brody, Director of the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico; along with a prologue and glossary of the Hopi alphabet by Emory Sekaquaptewa from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.
