The Hopi Kachina Cult: Religion and Ritual As Elements of Cultural Identity Preservation
Journal of American Studies of Turkey 8 (1998) : 29-42. The Hopi Kachina Cult: Religion and Ritual as Elements of Cultural Identity Preservation Meldan Tanrısal Ozymandias has fallen on his face, but the Hopi kachinas still stand erect in their ancestral kivas. Watson Smith Introduction The descendents of the prehistoric peoples who lived in the Southwest of the United States fifteen hundred years ago, the Pueblo Indians have to this day preserved their identity and rich culture despite the assaults of Euro-American civilization. If certain traditional forms of Pueblo life seem to have changed little from, for example, ten centuries ago, it is because, for the Pueblo, religion and ritual have been inseparable from social life. Their religion has protected them from the encroachment of outside influences. Among the Pueblo Indians, the Hopi have changed least of all. It is generally agreed that the Hopi have been able to preserve their way of life due to their creed, known as the “Kachina cult.” While this Kachina cult on the one hand reflects the Hopi’s dependence on agriculture for survival in a dry and rugged climate, it has functioned, on the other hand, as a crucial element in the preservation and assertion of their identity and culture. This article takes a closer look at the Kachina cult, through a discussion of its beliefs, of the artifacts such as masks and Kachina dolls, of the nature of the Kachinas as spiritual beings and as fertility providers, and of the Hopi Kachina ceremonies that make use of these artifacts and philosophies.

Digital Detox in the National Parks A
Digital Detox in the National Parks A ‘Hot Spot’ Here is a Place with a Campfire Special 4th Graders Visit Park Free Packages for 2016 PHANTOM RANCH, THE BOTTOM OF THE GRAND CANYON – May 4, 2016 – Whether you are deep in the Grand Canyon at Phantom Ranch or perched on the South Rim at one of the historic lodges, the night sky is so dark that it’s easy to imagine yourself in another time – a time when the first people roamed the canyon 12,000 years ago. And they did not have iPhones, tablets or WiFi. The only “hot spot” was a fire if they were lucky enough to have one. The Grand Canyon, like so many national parks, is a place to get as close as you can to getting off the grid, to exhale, to experience the rejuvenating powers of nature, to step away and let nature dictate your schedule. That's why it's a perfect place to embrace a “digital detox” and go offline and savor the connections – to family, to nature, to deep reflection – that come with turning off the phone, leaving the laptop at home, and being unavailable to everyone but your sentient companions. At a time when the average American spends more than half of his or her waking life staring at a screen, this is more important than ever. Here are five national parks (and one value-driven kids program to many of the national parks) where you can replace the beeps, vibrations, rings and dings of the digital life with the call of the wild (which is usually, very quiet and peaceful).

Linen, Section 2, G to Indians
Arizona, Linen Radio Cards Post Card Collection Section 2—G to Indians-Apache By Al Ring LINEN ERA (1930-1945 (1960?) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. This was a marked improvement over the “White Border” postcard. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured “feel”. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. They proved to be extremely popular with roadside establishments seeking cheap advertising. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America’s highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color “chrome” postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s. Real photo publishers of black & white images continued to have success. Faster reproducing equipment and lowering costs led to an explosion of real photo mass produced postcards. Once again a war interfered with the postcard industry (WWII). During the war, shortages and a need for military personnel forced many postcard companies to reprint older views WHEN printing material was available. Photos at 43%.

SOCIAL SCIENCES Winter 2021 CROSSINGS Vol
SOCIAL SCIENCES Winter 2021 CROSSINGS Vol. 1 Masks and Rain Spirits: Mesoamerican Influences on Southwestern Kachina Ceremonialism Authored by Thomas Lai Anthropology (Honors) This study examines Mesoamerican influences on kachina ceremonialism, a Southwestern religious institution in which kachina spirits infiltrate Pueblo communities for a portion of the year as masked impersonators. Kachina spirits are in fact ancestral spirits who inhabit the underworld. They emerge in cloud-form from mountain tops to bring rain to the fields of the living. Kachina ceremonialismIntroduction arose in the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries during the Pueblo IV period following the Chacoan collapse, representing a social adaptation encouraging integration and stability in newly-established Pueblo communities. Whether the kachina cult’s genesis is represented by ceramic evidence in the western Little Colorado Badin, or rock art in the eastern Rio Grande, a significant Mesoamerican ideological substrate fed into its origins: the Southwest imported such Mesoamerican commodities as copper bells, Scarlet Macaws, and the Mesoamerican ballgame, the latter two of which left ideological impressions evident in kiva murals and ceramic motifs. Ultimately, it was the Mesoamerican cult of the rain-bringing dead which was modified into the socially-integrative kachina cult in response to Pueblo IV social needs, as well as the Southwest’s arid environment. Keywords: Kachina, Plaza, Kiva, Pinedale, Fourmile, Jornada, Tlaloc, Teixiptla The Southwest is arguably the most distinguished division of North American archaeology, benefitting from a well-preserved archaeological record that captures the imaginations of archaeologists and laymen alike. In this rich cultural environment, kachina ceremonialism is the most iconic aspect of living Pueblo culture, a social ceremony stirring the whole community into motion as the spirits come once again to live amongst the people.

Bright Angel Trail
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon Grand Canyon National Park Arizona Bright Angel Trail The Bright Angel Trail is considered the park’s premier hiking trail. Well maintained, graded for stock, with regular drinking water and covered rest-houses, it is without question the safest trail in Grand Canyon National Park. There is a ranger station located at the trail’s halfway point (Indian Garden) and one at the bottom of the canyon (Bright Angel Campground). Visitors hiking for the first time at Grand Canyon often use this trail in conjunction with the South Kaibab Trail. Particularly during hot weather, it makes sense to ascend via the Bright Angel Trail because of potable water, regular shade and emergency phones. Following a natural break in the cliffs formed by the massive Bright Angel Fault, today’s Bright Angel Trail approximates a route used for millennia by the many Native American groups that have called the Grand Canyon home. Early western pioneers at the canyon first built a trail in 1891 to reach mining claims established below the rim at Indian Garden. Recognizing that the true worth of the claims would be measured in visitation by tourists, these pioneers immediately registered their trail as a toll road and extended the trail to the river. The mining claims and use of the trail as a toll road would be the source of much controversy, first in legal battles with railroad companies that wanted to control tourism and later with the federal government. The trail was turned over to the National Park Service in 1928.
