Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the popular kachina dolls carved by the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona, but little has been revealed about the artistry behind them. Now Helga Teiwes describes the development of this art form from early traditional styles to the action-style kachina dolls made popular in galleries throughout the world, and on to the kachina sculptures that have evolved in the last half of the 1980s. Teiwes explains the role of the Katsina spirit in Hopi religion and that of the kachina doll—the carved representation of a Katsina—in the ritual and economic life of the Hopis. In tracing the history of the kachina doll in Hopi culture, she shows how these wooden figures have changed since carvers came to be influenced by their marketability among Anglos and how their carving has been characterized by increasingly refined techniques. Unique to this book are Teiwes's description of the most recent trends in kachina doll carving and her profiles of twenty-seven modern carvers, including such nationally known artists as Alvin James Makya and Cecil Calnimptewa. Enhancing the text are more than one hundred photographs, including twenty-five breathtaking color plates that bring to life the latest examples of this popular art form.

Book excerpt: This narrative about learning some of the meanings of ancient Native American rock carvings from elders and a hawk is an excellent beginning to understand the carving's complex and layered implications. The elders who have been my teachers for twenty-two years taught me at the beginning that to understand the meaning of rock carvings would take years, that I would have to learn traditional ways, and most of my education would come through experiences from all that was around me (nature). Although I wrote this book for the general adult public, Chapter 1 contains a standalone story where children and adults learn about a mother hawk and her children. This story also serves as a Native American introductory experience to the adult sections of the book. I made the text large in Chapter 1 to ease its reading to children on your lap while they follow along with the photographs. Young adults and older adults explore Chapter 2 to deepen their understanding of the hawk's lesson, Native American ways of being, and ancient rock carvings. Chapter 3 records the things that motivated and inspired me on this journey. The documents and books listed in the bibliography contain detailed discussions of the Red Rock Ridge. I took the photos of the hawk as these events happened.
