5 - On The Trail Of The Indiansthere is absolutely no trace of it to be found below the high wall. The weatheringaway of the platform could be a clue to the great age of the rock paintings at SeteCidades.The reserves of the Hopi Indians, members of the large Pueblo group, are locatedin Arizona and New Mexico. Today there are still about 8,000 Hopis in existence.They weave extremely beautiful baskets, following an ancient handicraft tradition,and make magnificent pottery. In spite of the pressure of the blessings ofcivilization, the Hopi Indians on their reserves have preserved their age-old ritesand customs, as well as their orally transmitted legends in an astonishingly pureform.Fig. 62. Large numbers of Petroglyphs can be seen on the rocks of the reserve,although they are often hard to get at. Of the four sketches chosen, the "StarBlower" is the most striking. Antenna-like attributes can easily be recognized.
5 - On The Trail Of The IndiansWhite Bear is chieftain of the Coyote clan by right of birth. He can still read mostof the ancient "drawings" carved in the rock. Thus White Bear knows that a handwith outspread fingers next to the paintings means that the tribe who once executedthe drawings is still in possession of the whole traditional wisdom. White Bear iscapable of interpreting widely separated rock and cave drawings that he has neverseen before. Unfortunately the chieftain is very reticent and extremely skeptical ofwhite men (with good reason). The Petroglyphs in the reserves are of remarkabledesign and sometimes whole rock faces are covered with them. (Fig. 62.)What have the legends of the Hopi Indians to tell us?They say that the first world was Toktela. (Toktela literally means infinite space.)Only Taiowa, the creator, originally dwelt in the first world before he created men.The ancestors had been in contact with various worlds before they found theirhome on this planet. Taiowa told them that the supreme law was "Thou shalt notkill." If there were any differences of opinion or disputes between the Hopis, theopposing parties separated, went off in different directions and sought new huntinggrounds. But both sides stuck to the traditional laws and kept on covering rocksand caves with the same paintings during their long marches. (They still observethis practice today.)In the Book of the Hopi (the first revelation of the Hopi's historical and religiousworld-view of life) the following legend is told:"In ancient times there was a battle for the Red City in the South. Wherever theycame from, all the tribes were accompanied by Kachinas, beings who were reputednot to be of the 'fourth world,' indeed, they were not men at all. Nevertheless, theyalways proved themselves to be protectors and advisors of the tribe and frequentlyhelped them out of tricky situations with superhuman powers and arts. This waswhat happened in the Red City in the South when some Hopi tribes were suddenlyattacked from all sides. With the speed of the wind, the Kachinas built a tunnelthrough which the Hopis were able to flee into the open behind the enemy lineswithout shedding blood. When they said goodbye, the Kachinas said to thechieftains: 'We are staying to defend the city. The time for the journey to ourdistant planet has not yet come!'"If we follow the Hopi traditions, all the red rock drawings are simply very earlymessages with precise instructions to tribe members who might happen to passthrough that particular bit of territory at any given time.It would be an interesting experiment to show Big Chief White Bear my color
