Kokopelli the flute player is one of the most popular icons that American culture has adopted from the Native peoples of North America. The Kokopelli name and image are everywhere, adorning everything from jewelry, welcome mats, T-shirts, and money clips to motels, freeway underpasses, nature trails, nightclubs, and string quartets. Kokopelli evokes mystery and wonder, ancient ceremonies andøspirituality, Mother Earth and the purity of nature. But what exactly is Kokopelli? Just how Native American is this ubiquitous flute player? In this fascinating book, the distinguished scholar of Hopi culture and history Ekkehart Malotki describes the development of the Kokopelli phenomenon in American mass culture from its beginning to Kokopelli?s present status as pan-Southwestern icon. He explores the figure?s connections with the Hopi kachina god Kookop”l” and Maahu, the cicada, and discusses how this rock-art image has been appropriated and misunderstood. Kokopelli sheds light on a little-understood aspect of Hopi culture and testifies to the continuing power of Native cultures to spark the popular imagination and interest of outsiders.

Both Santa Fe and Taos are well known as important twentieth-century American art colonies. Until the publication of Santa Fe and Taos, their fame rested more upon the reputations of resident and visiting artists than on the contributions of the writers, playwrights and poets who lived side-by-side with the artists. Notable among writers who paid extended visits to the colony were D.H. Lawrence, Willa Cather, Robert Frost, Thornton Wilder, Carl Sandburg, Sinclair Lewis and Edna St. Vincent Millay.
