Moquis and Kastiilam tells the story of the encounter between the
Hopis, who the Spaniards called Moquis, and the Spaniards, who the
Hopis called Kastiilam, from the first encounter in 1540 until the
eve of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. By comparing and contrasting
Spanish documents with Hopi oral traditions, the editors portray a
balanced presentation of their shared past. Translations of
sixteenth-, seventeenth-, and eighteenth-century documents written
by Spanish explorers, colonial officials, and Franciscan
missionaries tell the perspectives of the European visitors, and
oral traditions recounted by Hopi elders reveal the Indigenous
experience.. The editors argue that the Spanish record is
incomplete, and only the Hopi perspective can balance the story.
The Spanish documentary record (and by extension the documentary
record of any European or Euro-American colonial power) is biased
and distorted, according to the editors, who assert there are
enormous silences about Hopi responses to Spanish missionization
and colonization. The only hope of correcting those weaknesses is
to record and analyze Hopi oral traditions, which have been passed
down from generation to generation, and give voice to Hopi values
and Hopi social memories of what was a traumatic period in their
past.. Spanish abuses during missionization-which the editors
address specifically and directly as the sexual exploitation of
Hopi women, suppression of Hopi ceremonies, and forced labor of
Hopis-drove Hopis to the breaking point, inspiring a Hopi
revitalization that led them to participate in the Pueblo Revolt.
Those abuses, the revolt, and the resistance that followed remain
as open wounds in Hopi society today.
