The Flute of the Gods
E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net)
"The Flute of the Gods" by Marah Ellis Ryan is a historical romance novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores the rich cultural backdrop of the Native American tribes in what is now the southwestern United States, particularly focusing on the Hopi people. The narrative follows the life of Tahn-té, a boy with significant heritage, as he navigates the challenges of his identity and the intersection of his Native culture with the encroaching European influences represented by missionaries and conquerors. At the start of the story, we are introduced to a time of drought and desperation among the Hopi people. An old chief, Ho-tiwa, discovers a mysterious girl, Mo-wa-thé, by an ancient well, leading to the miraculous birth of her son, Tahn-té, who is seen as a symbol of hope for his people. As the narrative unfolds, Tahn-té grows up with a unique awareness of his connection to the spiritual and natural worlds around him. His journey is one of self-discovery, as he grapples with his roots and the implications of the new influences that threaten his people. The opening chapters set the stage for Tahn-té’s adventures, embodying themes of prophecy, identity, and the clash of cultures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
