A heartfelt and reverential view of the Hopi Way as seen by one of the few white men to have lived within this ancient culture, Meditations With The Hopi imparts to us the essence of the Hopi experience--from child's first cry to soul's departure, each transition celebrated in song and ritual. Praise for Meditations With The Hopi I believe that Robert's writings give a true meaning of the way Hopis feel, think, and act at Shipaulovi. I think that his books are historically important for the village. --Ferrell Secakuku, Second Mesa, Shipaulovi Village He has been a friend, an uncle, and a brother of my family and me as long as I can remember . . . a true friend of the Hopi people. I am hopeful that this book will bring a closer and better understanding of Hopi by all mankind. --Walter Koyawena, Second Mesa, Shipaulovi Village Praise for Bear \u0026amp; Company's Meditations With series These quiet presentations of spirituality are remarkable for their immediacy and clarity. --Publishers Weekly ROBERT BOISIERE first went to Hopiland in 1949 and has had close ties with the Native American world since that time. He is the author of The Return of Pahana and two earlier books on the Hopi.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49569914192145,"sku":"GOR004019039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49659142603025,"sku":"GOR002629472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49748814758161,"sku":"CIN0939680270A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49850303217937,"sku":"GOR013798572","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367651807505,"sku":"CIN0939680270G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50719156306193,"sku":"CIN0939680270VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009534394641,"sku":"NIN9780939680276","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52738857632017,"sku":"GOR011592615","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0939680270.jpg?v=1751045342"},{"product_id":"hopi-way-book-robert-boissiere-9780865340558","title":"The Hopi Way","description":"From first-hand experience, the author tells of daily life among the Hopi Indians in Northern Arizona--their beliefs, rituals and Catcina (Kachina) ceremonies.

A member of the French army, he was imprisoned in a Nazi prison camp from which he managed to escape and join a group of Basques in the Pyrenees. After moving to California, Boissiere found himself on an artistic and spiritual pilgrimage to the Hopi villages.

A Frenchman, dispossessed of his land in the Second World War, the author arrives in America homeless, and finds a permanent place among two different Indian tribes in the American Southwest. The Hopis accept him as one of them because-in spirit-he is one of them, even when he is breaking a rule he knows nothing about. The book is about living and learning all over again. While living, and learning, at Taos Pueblo in New Mexico (the first white man to do so) Boissiere finds his second home and his great love, Po Pai Mo, the woman he marries. His search for White Buffalo Woman over, his life as an Indian-begun at Hopi-now matures as his new wife teaches him the ways of her people. The gift of knowledge she gives him in this enchanting tale completes the journey of the man without a country. Rooted at last, secure in his life with Po Pai Mo, Robert Boissiere learns how to live, how to love, and how to die.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51008919142673,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008923173137,"sku":"NIN9780865340244","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865340242.jpg?v=1751265403"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-robert-boissiere.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
