Hopi Prophecy

Handed down through ritual and chant long before it was recorded in the petroglyphs which are explained to us here, the Hopi prophecy is centered on the belief that humans must live in peace and harmony with the natural world. Through centuries of changing official policy with regard to indigenous peoples—destruction and extermination, separation and isolation, limited empowerment in islands awash with the roar and upheaval of modern machines—the Hopi prophecy has prevailed. In this program, tribal elders perform the chants and explain their hope that humankind can turn away from its own destruction and toward peace. (24 minutes)
