AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Heinrich Voth, the Mennonite missionary who spent almost 10 years among the Hopi and who spoke the Hopi language fluently, compiled this collection of myths, historical traditions, and stories. Most of the tales were collected at Oraibi although there are some from Shipaulovi, and a few from Mishongnovi. Since Voth gives no commentary, there is no indication how the Hopi classified these tales. Following the complete texts, Voth gives abstracts of each tale. In footnotes, Voth gives the name and village of each story-teller.
