Memo / Artist Statement
“This mural was painted in reverence and in homage to Hopi. A life force and philosophy that nurtured and gave strength to countless generations of Hopi People. A way of life, time tested by the forces of Mother Nature for eons; survived and matured. A concept so deep that deliberate attempts by gold and soul hungry ideologies to uproot it have failed. A spiritual outlook so strong, that despite the hardships, it prays for all living beings to have fulfilling lives, and those beautiful souls that live its teachings, and guide it, The Hopi People. So, with the greatest honor and respect, members of Artist Hopid, dedicate The Hopi Ceremonial Calendar to the Hopi people and all living beings”. – Artist Hopid (1975)
