    Living the Tradition

    Fall 2014
    Fall Summary
    Project
    2014 Arizona on the Hopi reservation, a
    In Fall
    northeastern
    new generation travels on a path both influenced by
    Fall day
    2014
    modern
    society and Hopi teachings that have
    been established since time immemorial. Today, this
    generation is so caught up in keeping up with the
    ever changing western world that they forget where
    their roots started from. Living the Tradition is an
    effort to reach out to these future young leaders and
    celebrate their heritage through Hopi dance
    celebration and song. Participants of all ages
    performed the Hopi Butterfly Dance for their
    community instilling blessings of joyous life,
    plentiful rains, and bountiful harvest of Hopi
    produce. Songs were enjoyed by all, making
    spectators feel the spirit of the dancers as they tapped
    their feet to the rhythm of the deep tones of the drum
    and hummed the tune and sang the words of Hopi
    prayer from the songs. As the performances came to
    a close, I was asked to take the youth to another
    village event so that the feelings of happiness and
    friendship could be felt by all across the reservation.
    With the immense help of local young leaders and
    community youth, Living the Tradition was a
    success in which all of mankind and life benefited.

    all...new friendship. KWAKWAII (thank you)


    to all those that were there for their kids, friends,
    and family. It couldn't have been as fun as it was
    without the people who came with open hearts
    ready to celebrate life and successful harvest.
    For that we appreciate and thank you! There will
    definitely be a next time! Time to rest the wikya
    (headband) and try to get back to the books...try
    KWAKWAII!!
