THE LIVING LEGACY OF HOPI EXPRESSION • Museum of Northern Arizona
June 17, 2010
The 77th Annual Hopi Festival of Arts and Culture returns on the July Fourth weekend to the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, bringing 75 of the top Hopi artists and demonstrators, seasoned performers of music and dance, and speakers who will talk about Hopi beliefs and current issues. Saturday, July 3 and Sunday, July 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Museum will be brimming with all things Hopi.
First held on the July Fourth weekend in 1930, the Hopi Festival represents the long-standing partnership between the Hopi people and the Museum, and has always had as its mission the preservation of Hopi artistic traditions and the creation of a marketplace for Hopi goods. Over the years the event has become a regional tradition for artists and collectors, alike, and for visitors seeking an authentic cultural experience at “the oldest Hopi art show in the world.”
An important part of the festival is the 50 plus awards that are juried by arts professionals from this region and given to artists who excel in their arts category. Prize money is awarded and ribbons are on display at the artists’ tables, making it easy to spot the finest collectable art pieces.

The show’s writers room is comprised of Native American writers, and its two leads, Westworld‘s Zahn McClarnon and The Red Road‘s Kiowa Gordon, who play the investigators, share Native American ancestry.
In a statement, Martin said, “Down here in the Southwest, Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee are as iconic as Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Philip Marlowe, and Travis McGee.” Martin adds he “could not agree fast enough” to help adapt Hillerman’s work.
Redford added, “I read my first Tony Hillerman novel in 1986 while filming in New Mexico and was immediately hooked,” calling the author, “a master storyteller.” The multiple Oscar winner added, ̶
