The Magic Hummingbird: A Hopi Folktale
In this truly authentic Hopi Indian folktale, two young children are left behind in the drought-stricken village of Oraibi. A sunflower stalk fashioned into the shape of a hummingbird magically springs to life to supply them with corn. The magic bird then journeys to the underworld to ask Muy'ingwa, the god of fertility, to restore precious rainfall to the parched land. The story reveals the wonderful world of the Hopi to children - a way of life that is based on harmony of the elements, and the children's relationship with the hummingbird emphasizes the importance of staying in contact with the earth.
