Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

They carry the household supply of water in gummed wicker bottles held in place on the back by a burden strap passing across the forehead, in a manner similar to that of the Hopi.plain2018-03-16T21:11:25-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

The aboriginal style is rapidly being abandoned, and the native one-piece dress here illustrated is seldom seen even at the less advanced of the Hopi pueblos.plain2018-03-16T21:12:13-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

The eyes speak of wariness, if not downright distrust. The mouth shows great possibilities of unyielding stubbornness. Yet somewhere in this face lurks an expression of masked warmheartedness and humanity.plain2018-03-16T21:12:14-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

It represents the legendary arrival of the Flute people in the Hopi country, their friendly encounter with the clans already there, and the rain-making rites subsequently performed by them for the common good. The episode here represented was photographed at Middle mesa. The individual seated near the right end is an albino, not a white man.plain2018-03-16T21:11:06-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

They are circular or rectangular, wholly or partly subterranean, or simply cells in the communal structure that forms a pueblo. The character of the underlying soil or rock was probably the factor that determined the degree to which a kiva was made subterranean. The one here illustrated is mostly underground, and has a walled stair leading to the roof, which is surrounded by a parapet. Similar structures have been found in excavating ruined pueblos.
