Description

Describes the development of the Kokopelli phenomenon in American mass culture from its beginning to Kokopelli's present status as pan-Southwestern icon A distinguished Hopi scholar presents the origins and meaning of the arched back fluteplayer whose image can be found on souvenirs, jewellery, home decor, and businesses Studies the religious and literary beginnings in the Kachina god Kookopolo and Machu the cicada figure, and how Kokopelli has been appropriated and trivialised by American popular culture Kokopelli the flute player is one of the most popular icons that American culture has adopted from the Native peoples of North America. The Kokopelli name and image are everywhere, adorning everything from jewellery, welcome mats, t-shirts, and money clips to motels, freeway underpasses, nature trails, night clubs, and string quartets. Kokopelli evokes mystery and wonder, ancient ceremonies and spirituality, Mother Earth and the purity of nature. But what exactly is Kokopelli? Just how Native American is the ubiquitous flute-player? In this readable and fascinating book, the distinguished Hopi scholar Ekkehart Malotki describes the development of the Kokopelli phenomenon in America.
