Further reading

  • A Concise Hopi and English Lexicon (→ISBN, 1985)
  • Ekkehart Malotki, ‎Ken Gary, Hopi Stories of Witchcraft, Shamanism, and Magic (→ISBN, 2006), page xxxiii: "The final case, in the story 'The Owl That Made Off With a Little Child' (Malotki 1998: 248), concerns a misbehaving child who is carried off by an owl with no overt tones of witchcraft. The fact that witches also use owls may reflect an ambiguity in Hopi culture regarding the bird. Though frequently used by witches, three species of the owl are also deified in kachina form: hootsoko, 'screech owl,' mongwu, 'great horned owl,' and salapmongwu, 'spruce owl.'"
