 | | Mythology, in the sense in which we have used the term, is the carrier and preserver of the most immaterial part of tribal culture." [Footnote 17: Wissler, Clark, Op. |
 | | The Hopi, like many primitive people, believe that when a bird sings he is weaving a magic spell, and so they have songs for special magic too; some for grinding, for weaving, for planting, others for hunting, and still others for war; all definitely to gain the favor of the gods in these particular occupations. |
 | | The belief of the present-day Hopi that the dead return through the sipapu to the underworld is based firmly upon an extension of this myth, as told to Voth,[22] for it furnishes a clear account of how the Hopi first became aware of this immortality. |
