.HOP|S' SNAKE DANCES
ARE HELD NEXT MONTH
Thousands of Tourists Yearly
Witness These Weird
Rites.

~ Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Phoenix. Ariz., July 30.--on the
Painted Desert of Northern Arizona.
Hopi Indians next month Will hold
their noted snake dances. which an
nually attract thousands of tourists.
This year the dances will be held in
the villages of Walpi and Mishong-
novl.
Most people believe the snake dance
is a Hopi rain dance. This is
not correct, according to Emry
kopta. sculptor, who claims that the
ceremony is a form of Indian ancestor
worship. Mr.. kopta has been living
in Walpi village for seven years, and
says the Hopis always hold their rain
dances in June and July and the snake
dances in August.
Describing the ceremony, Mr.. Kopta
declared the dancers open the dance
by stamping upon a plank laid over a
pit. This is intended to notify the dead
that the ceremony has begun. Be-
tween 100 and $50 snakes are needed
for the annual dances.
Out of the scores of Hopi traditions
has come a story telling of the origin
of the snake dance, according to the
sculptor. The traditions tell of Hopi
youth. a dreamer. who once set out
to find what lay beyond the far hills.
He fioated down the muddy Colorado
until he came TO land believed to be
California. There he met and wed a
maiden of a strange tribe and took
her back to his Hopi village.
The first children of the young
couple were snakes. and the Hopis
expelled the two from the village.
Then the crops failed, the Indians suf-
fered from starvation and the old VIII
lage priest said the trouble was
brought on by the expulsion. He de-
clared rain would not fall or crops
mature until the couple was brought
back.
Acting on the priests advice. the
Indians searched the deserts for the
two and eventually found them. After
leaving the village. the woman had
borne human children and these were
brought back. But the snake chill
dren had glided of into the desert.
In celebration of the couples return,
the Indians danced the first snake
dance and. since the snake children
could not be found, they brought all
the snakes they could find TO attend
the ceremonies.
