our hopi "cousins" may have some public dances as do we, but also like us the majority of pueblo religion is very private
as discussed here before, pueblo medicine, knowledge and prophecy would never have been divulged to a non-pueblo
but as usual the white world would rather believe another white man than a pueblo
on top of that....many whites have a problem with religious privacy, they cannot stand that we will never share many things with them so they make it it up as they go along
hell, i am pueblo and many things arent even meant for me to know
the arrogance of the pigmentally-challenged just cannot accept NO for an answer when it comes to matters of religious privacy......so take ANY info out there on hopi ways with the grain of salt
It’s funny the way you make jokes about pigment and salt. Let’s not forget UAP and how Chicano slang mirrors native language. Don’t take offense JD Aragon okay!l he doesn’t mean it.
Say hello’s to 5th world
if my slang is anything chicano its because i live in the southwest.....i myself have chicano (american beaner) blood flowing thru my veins as well as native.....and i grew up in a chicano neighborhood and like many natives in the southwest i have a spanish surname
no cop, teacher or boss ever asked me whether im native or bean, but it never mattered to them and for the most part out on the streets it never mattered to me either though i was raised in a n8tv household (taos mother and jemez stepdad) and we were notorious powwowers
in denver, a relocation city, the natives mostly settled in southwest denver or northeast denver.......many also scattered in the west and north side proper.........the thing about denver is you just might meet someone from just about everywhere as far as the native community goes
as far as chicanos go.....they are just as diverse as many other groups......californios, tejanos, genizaros and valley chicanos (colorado) and im sure many other areas have differences in local cultures.....and while we all share some slang and stilos there are many variants or completely different words/pronounciations altogether my boy (see thats one we all share and natives here say it too)
anyways back on topic...while hopis may not be as private
