From the Back Cover:

First published in 1954, this fascinating study of the scope and complexity of the Kachina cult has for too long been out of print. In this revised edition, the author updates his rather gloomy predictions of thirty years ago that the Kachina rituals were in danger of dying out because modern pressures seemed to be restricting their worship. Despite the continual pressures of modern and Anglo ways of life, however, Dockstader can happily report that the Kachina has made a dramatic return and that Hopi religion remains a strong and meaningful foundation of the culture. In fact, Dockstader observes, the appreciation of the ancient Hopi rituals and traditional customs “provides much of the glue holding together the whole Hopi world
