The. fraditiollals hav� alway_s peen wary of the white man's cqnsumer mentali y,
and now they- were Worried ihouf what could happen when the Black Mesa mine was
dead;. whe11 a dependent· and poverty stricken严opie, h�ving been left- with waste c1I1d
desecration where a saered mountain hadonce stood, found themselves forced to accept
(5) more leasesand more desoIation. This threat was in灯eased by the pros产Ct of legal
“termination',, or dissolution of a people as a cultural unit, with whiCh Indians are
threatened eve可otller year. Termination legislation,. which hadal{eady wiped out a
number of small tribes, not onl)'withdtaws all federal aid, but turns the lndit,1.Qs over to
h
the mercies of sta\ejurisdiction and. property taxationr forcing a people wit no other
(10) recourse to put their last resource— land一upon the market. ( “ That is all we have 七

When th�land is gone, we will walk away ftom OUJ," homes with·our beds'upon our
l
backs.“) By eliminating an Indian nation, termination quiets Indian claims to triba
lands that were never ce�ed lo th� U. S. govequllent by -treaty, which happens to
describeaJmost all the''federal;;; land in the Far West; ID.stead, th� people must accept
(15) whatever moIJ.�tary settl€!ment has been bestowed upon theni by the Court of Claims,
which was set tip Iiot to administer justice but to expe.d.ite adjudication of lartd titles and
head off ·any future claims that Indians might make on lands already coveted by the
white economy.
The. IIopi chaim1an'� brotheri Wayne, a prosperous Morrno11, proprietor of a
(20) thriviµg Hopi craft shop t · with holdings in the family ranch and a construcUon company,
complains in h is progressive newspaper, Q“a Toqti, of the poor attitude of the
traditionals toward ” theirfellow tribesmen in business'勹an.dcri廿ciz�s.white. !iUpporters
of the traditionals for “ wanting tokeep us in o虹 'primitive'state. •1 He垣s declared.
“We will never go back to our cornfields 租d orchards unless we are forced to. “In 、

(25) anothercolu皿in出e newspaper, Wayne Sekaquaptewa inquires, "When w:ll someone


come along to convince us that we are squabbiing like untrained children over
evefythin.g in the n�tne of our useless religion沪(Sel也quaptewa believes如t the true
story of the Hopi may be found in the Book of Mormon.) Not surprisingly, Qua Toqti
vociferously supports the eViction of the“enemy Na戏jo” from Hopi i迎d.
(30) The pro枣essives feel that thereis no place for o!d, slow Hopiwaysina world that
is going on without the.m; they look down on如乓血ionals, \vith their wood_ stoves
and kerosene lamps and ouµhouses, their ”u函ess religion “. (I notice, .however, Lhat
outhouses in Oraibi and Hotevilla are not locked to keep out witches, as are the
christian outhouses of Walpi.) The扛aditionals !mowthat t hose who followthe lead of
t
(35) t he progressives will be assimilated-that is, swept away into a competi ive economy

for which they沺veno training-. Solongas the Hopi hold their land, those still able to
make corn grow inthe slow, patient tec血iques of dry farming will survive even when
all help has been taken away, proceeding as best as they can according to their sacred
instructions until the Day of Purification restores harmony and balance to all [and and
(40) life, untilthe badroad taKen by the white man comes to its inevitable end. as foretold
in the stark etchingon the Life PIan Rock.

7. Tlre author says, "lnotic:e, however, that outhouses in Or:aipi and Hot�villa are not locked
to �eep out witches, a,s are the. Christianouthouses of Walpi'; (lines 32-34). What does the
author probably intend the reader to infer· from thi:; ;aqserv,ation?
(A) That traditional Hopi religionl;l_as no.t developed even to the point at which it believes in
witches.
(B) That f9llowers of traditior1al Hopi religion ate careless in the practice -of their relig;ion
compared t9 the progressives, who scrupulously follow the teachings of Christianity.
(C) That folloviers of traditional Hopi religion might be less superstitions than the Hopi
followers of the white man's predominant religion, Christianit)•.
(D} That there is one· eas� in which the traditionals ate right and the progressives: are
wrong.
(E) That progressive Indfans are, s�nsibly, awa:re of the danger presented bywitches.
8. The traditional$ believe t ha.t
(A) the only way in which the Hopi cat1: survive as a distinct culture is to follow_ tile lead of

. s;
(D) theU S government has, by arid large, beer{ fair iii its d,ealings with Indians
t
(E) the only chance that the Hapi have to survive as a cul ural unit is to cling to their

(B) show that progressive Hopis are more realistic than traditional Hopis
t t
(C) ilIus rate the influence of Mormonism on Hapi socie y
(D) show that Indians, if枣ven the op沁rtuhity, can be as successful in business as whites
(E) illustrate thecontradictoryattitudes held by progressive Hopis
10. Which _of the f9Ilowing statements bes.t describes the auth()r's y1ew of the "Day of
