The attached videos are a rarely photographed glimpse into modern Hopi ceremonies. Last September, I had the honor of attending the 1st Annual Hopi Days at the Hopi Cultural Center. Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to give thanks to the people who settled this part of the country thousands of years ago, and their descendants who live here today on the Hopi Mesas. Hopi Indians outlawed photography in 1949 and only rarely allow videos, or photography. You're gonna love the "little ones" dancing with the buffalo headdresses.
Happy Thanksgiving from Arizona!

Happy Western Thanksgiving from J.R. & Ko'ko! My Brother Jerry is missed every day.
