"The Unwritten Literature of the Hopi" by Hattie Greene Lockett is a scholarly study published in the early 20th century. The work is an anthropological examination of the Hopi people, focusing on the significance of their unwritten literature, particularly their myths and tales, and how these inform their culture, social organization, and religious practices. It delves into the intricate connections between Hopi mythology and their daily lives, rituals, and community structures. At the start of the book, the author introduces the relationship between contemporary Hopi societal structures and their traditional myths, arguing that these unwritten narratives play a crucial role in guiding their moral standards and communal activities. Lockett highlights the importance of mythology in providing a historical framework for the Hopi's understanding of their identity and existence, suggesting that despite the absence of a written tradition, the oral storytelling practices preserve a rich and vital cultural heritage. Through this exploration, she sets the stage for a more detailed discussion of Hopi life, including their customs, social organization, and an in-depth examination of their ceremonial practices.
