Religion and Hopi Life tells the story of Hopi religious life in a way                  that makes sense to both Hopis and outsiders. In his interpretation of Hopi                  religion, John D. Loftin does not subject religious meaning to secular analysis.                  While not the Hopi's own story, his account attempts to honor and do justice to the                  way in which the Hopi embody religious meaning through the living of their lives.                  The second edition of this highly praised book keeps scholarly debates and theories                  to a minimum, except when they help illuminate the understanding of Hopi religious                  orientation and worldview. Several important studies of the Hopi have emerged since                  the book's first publication, and their findings have been incorporated. The book                  also includes new material on shamanism, death, witchcraft, myth, tricksters, and                  kachina initiations. This updated edition incorporates other minor corrections and                  additions to the text, and revises and expands the footnotes and the annotated                  bibliography.
