Good survey of the influence of white culture on the Hopi

This is a good introduction to the Hopi and their reaction to the influence of white culture, focusing on the effects on the Katsina religion. This is not so much a book about Katsina dolls, but about the religion and how it has changed under the pressure of white culture. Very nice illustrations, well written.
