This book explores the rituals and beliefs surrounding the Alósaka, a significant cultural element among the Hopi Indians, highlighting its historical roots and current practices. The author provides insights into the spiritual and ceremonial role of the Alósaka, which involves various rituals centered on fertility and the interconnection of the Hopi people with nature. In the book, Fewkes chronicles the discovery of two Alósaka idols and investigates their significance within the Hopi culture. He details elaborate ceremonies such as the Flute and New-fire rituals, where individuals known as Aaltû or Horn-men serve as escorts, embodying the spirit of Alósaka. Through field observations and the collection of legends, Fewkes illustrates how these rituals aim to ensure prosperous crops and seasonal rains. The narrative encompasses the origins of the Alósaka cult, suggesting it is a modified form of totemism, influenced by various clans that joined the Hopi in their migration, ultimately showing the deep spiritual connection between the Hopi people and their environment.
