Kokopelli, the mysterious, humpbacked flute player of the American Southwest, has been a sacred figure to Native Americans since prehistoric times. Fertility symbol, rain priest, roving minstrel and trader, hunting magician, and trickster, Kokopelli was painted and carved on rock walls and boulders from the time of the Anasazi, the Ancient Ones, to the 1700s. The authors, whose research took them into the remote reaches of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah discovered more than 300 rock art portraits of Kokopelli. In this richly illustrated and well-researched book, they give descriptions of sites in the Southwest where this most compelling figure may be found. Included also is a generous sampling of Native American myths and stories about Kokopelli. The result is a perfect guide to Kokopelli for lay people and an invaluable resource for professionals.
