Omschrijving

The Katcina Altars In Hopi Worship is a book written by J. Walter Fewkes, an American anthropologist who specialized in the study of Native American cultures. The book is a comprehensive study of the religious practices of the Hopi people, who are indigenous to the southwestern United States.The focus of the book is on the role of the katcina altars in Hopi worship. Katcinas are supernatural beings that are believed to visit the Hopi people during certain times of the year. These beings are represented by elaborate wooden carvings that are placed on altars in Hopi homes and public spaces.Fewkes provides a detailed description of the katcina altars, including their construction, symbolism, and use in Hopi ceremonies. He also explores the cultural significance of the katcinas themselves, as well as their role in Hopi mythology and cosmology.Throughout the book, Fewkes draws on his extensive fieldwork among the Hopi people, as well as his knowledge of Native American art and religion. The result is a rich and nuanced portrait of Hopi culture and spirituality, as well as a valuable resource for scholars and students of anthropology, Native American studies, and religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
