This collection of Hopi legends represents an important effort to preserve the Hopi teaching stories from First Mesa. Three of the stories were told in Hopi by an eighty-year-old Hopi elder; these were tape-recorded and later translated by Mr. Sevillano's Hopi companion, W. L. Satewa. Their combined efforts have resulted in an enlightening collection of Hopi literature.

I have been pleased with the collection of stories in this book. It is the only place I have seen the story of the "Big Black Snake". I consider this an important story, as it illustrates the continuation of the Hopi story telling tradition. It incorporates aspects of Anglo culture, including a pun that works only in English!
