Price, Joan. Truth is a Bright Star. Millbrae: Celestial Arts, 1982.
This novel is a Hopi adventure based on a true incident. Loma, a twelve year old Hopi Indian boy, along with several other Hopi Indian children are attacked and captured by Spanish soldiers. Their adventures begin as they are taken five hundred miles from their peaceful desert village and sold as slaves. Loma is sold to a fur trapper. Understanding and finally friendship develop between the trapper and Loma. A great novel to show students how Native Americans were mistreated and displaced by incoming settlers.

Mc Lerran, Alice. The Ghost Dance. New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1995.
This book illustrates the loss of land, people, food, and culture by encroaching white settlers. The Native American people performed ghosts dances to keep the past alive. They performed these dances in hope that their way of life would return to the ways of their grandfathers. The Ghost dance has an underlying value of commitment to personal integrity and nonviolence, as well as a passionate concern for social and environmental health. The Native Americans believe that by joining together in this sacred dance they could restore what was lost. Their dream and hope was misunderstood and the white man mistook their dance for a war dance.

WARFARE- (Key 240)
- The wars of the White Man are begun for two reasons, defense of one's people and attack for gain. The defense of one's peoples is understandable that need not be addressed. The attack for gain is that which we will address. The white man attacks so as to add to his material world, or to use his own words, for a profit. If there is no profit, war is too costly and will not be pursued. The military-industrial complex is the back-bone of modern white man's world.

Certainly, the history of the American Indian and the white man shows this mentality at its peak. The taking of our lands was solely for the purpose of profit for the new country's powerful elite. New lands meant new chances to generate wealth.

World War II saw deliberate manipulation by the powers that be to force United States involvement. As a result, the United States became the most powerful and technologically rich country in the world. The most recent war, the Vietnam conflict, will ultimately prove to be nothing more than an elaborate cover for drug smuggling and dope peddling. What man's wars are born of greed - not of noble intent. http://tribes.tribe.net/25a1f4a7-b777-4adf-8c62-1f418aaf0d64/photos/7ea1eccb-b731-4ce6-a059-2d4b81e448d9
============
I always thought the Hopi were pretty peaceful. I would say your thought is pretty accurate.
"Because of their isolation, the Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona escaped the disruption suffered by most tribes after the arrival of the white man, and they have been able to adapt slowly to American culture."

Schecter, Ellen. The Warrior Maiden: A Hopi Legend. Byron Preiss, 1992.
This book is a retelling of a Hopi Indian legend in which a brave Hopi girl helps save her peaceful Pueblo from invading Apache. This book is great for introducing students to the Hopi way of life. Through this book students see that Hopi are peaceful people. Students are also introduced to the Hopi dwelling and the customs of the tribe.

Surely mistreated and displaced by whitey, but did you find any examples of death and destruction? I'm curious.

Looking forward to the development of the next stage.

Nice work on the interpretations.

I knew I could trust you to come up with something about Noqkwivi Burning. You do your homework well...
I can hear Sting singing this to great effect (and you, of course :roll: )

Channeling Captain Kirk

Acronymitize (see abbreviate) . . . almost sounds like a Greek philosopher's name.
I think I verbatized a noun.
Oops . . . I think I verbatized another noun . . . verb . . . which is a noun . . . unless you verbatize it.

This is beginning to sound like an Alice in Wonderland monologue.
And I didn't intend to monologutize.
