Summary:

"This is the story of the Hopi woman who chose in her early youth to live in the white man's world. Born at Old Oraibi, Arizona, she was of the first Hopi children to be educated in white schools. Later she was the first Hopi to become a teacher in those schools. Here her biographer records Qoyowayma's break with the traditions of her people and her struggle to gain acceptance for her radical teaching methods. Throughout her life this remarkable woman has held to the best in Hopi culture and has fought to maintain it in the lives of her students. Her story, rich in information on Hopi legend and ceremony, is a moving introduction to the Hopi way of life. After retirement from the career described in this book, Polingaysi Qoyawayma [Elizabeth Q. White] became known as a prize-winning potter who worked in antique Hopi styles"--Back cover.
