Being Honest, it made me cry just watching this video...I'm part Hopi, my dad is from 2nd mesa, Mongshongnavi. he lives right by the kiva as you come up to the village. It's been years that I've been out there.... I miss Hopi 😟
@@martynaha7690 hello Mary, I would love to come and live on the Reservation, and learn all that was taken from me,I Love everything about us,please more info.
I am a Hopi who doesn’t live near a reservation and my father who is Hopi died before I was born if you could please tell me some common Hopi traditions I would appreciate it a lot
The dogs run to look for SOMEONE to pay attention to them and feed them! They are neglected, abused and hungry! At the dances I have witnessed helpless, emaciated dogs being kicked in the ribs by children while the adults egg them on, encouraging them and then laugh as the dog winces in pain!! It's disgusting!! They kick and throw rocks at them and when I go over and say something to these people they just smirk and laugh at me!! To me, if these dances are as they claim to "respect all life" and yet they allow and promote this abuse then they are hypocrites. One dance I attended years ago I saw two eagles, one with its legs tied to the others legs on a roof with the hot sun beating down on them for hours!! I later asked my daughter's father what the significance of that is--why the Hopis do this and he said it was part of that particular dance ceremony. Later they killed the eagles and took their feathers!! THIS is their "RESPECT FOR ALL LIFE"? It is not!! My daughter is half Hopi, registered with her tribe and I told her dad I will no longer attend these dances because of the animal neglect and abuse I see. My daughter dances and participates with her father and his family in the Hopi tribal traditions but the dog neglect and other animal abuse will never be one she follows. Ever! She and I, since she was a toddler, feed any strays we see, nurture and try to find them homes. Even the elderly Veterinarian who visits Tuba City to care for animals has had some horrible stories she has relayed to me about how the animals here are treated. People forget that the way in which we treat *ANY* living being--ANY--will return to us a hundredfold!!!
@@elishevacapobianco-s4731 Isn't ALL life supposed to be sacred and respected. I don't see this from your description of what took place during the ceremony.
