One of the most remarkable features of life in the Southwest is the
presence of Native American religious ceremonies in communities
that are driving distance from Sunbelt cities. Many of these
ceremonies are open to the public and "Dancing Gods" is the best
single reference for visitors to dances at the Rio Grande Pueblos,
Zuni Pueblo, the Hopi Mesas, and the Navajo and Apache
reservations. Fergussons classic guide to New Mexico and Arizona
Indian ceremonies is once again available in print. It offers
background information on the history and religion of the areas
Native American peoples and describes the principal public
ceremonies and some lesser-known dances that are rarely performed.
Here is information on the major Pueblo ritualsthe Corn Dance, Deer
Dance, and Eagle Danceas well as various dances at Zuni, including
the complicated Shalako. Fergusson also describes the Hopi
bean-planting and Niman Kachina ceremonies in addition to the Snake
Dance, the Navajo Mountain Chant and Night Chant, and several
Apache ceremonies.
Still the best of all books about the Indian ceremonials of New
Mexico and Arizona. . . .perceptive and simple, reverent and
lucid.Lawrence Clark Powell, "Southwest Classics"
