 Over a year later this article still stands out. As a researcher with many years of study of Hopi culture, I've never heard or seen this end of the world idea presented. The cultural tradition refers quite specifically to a new age/time and not the end of the world which clearly continues in the next age. There are no apocalyptic predictions in the oral tradition of the Hopi. Please could the authors either cite credible research for this idea or remove it from the article as it is extremely misleading.  

 As with many interpretations of ancient oral traditions the authors are rarely able to fully grasp the views of the culture they document. Fortunately the Hopi have begun to have more of a world voice, their elders have spoken and translations made in English which they agree is their word are available.
