#014   Hopi

By Susanne and Jake Page

The Hopi Indians are the oldest dwellers in the United States, having inhabited the same piece of desert land for a millennium.  They are considered by most other Native Americans to have a wisdom, a knowledge of things, beyond average comprehension. Historically they have discouraged visitors from taking photos because of the lack of respect shown for their spiritual way of life. In 1974 Hopi tribal and religious leaders hand picked Susanne and Jake Page to document their way.  Susanne Page is an exhibited and published photographer while Jake Page is an author.  Together their pictures and words intertwine to reveal an intimate view of the Hopi way of  life.  A traditional way that has been fiercely clung to in the face of the powerful influence of the white culture.  Oversized Hardback
