| KOKOPELLI'S | ||||||||||
| Kokopelli's legend is quite diverse and entertaining. One story depicts Kokopelli as an ancient Hopi itinerant trader - a traveling salesman of sorts - who played his flute from a distance to alert the tribe of his approach. He was also known to have been quite the womanizer, bringing gifts of seed, blankets and other surprises to the women of the village, in exchange for amorous favors. He is also known in some tribal histories as the god of fertility; his hunchback appearance representing a sack he always carried, full of wonderful gifts to enhance the reproductive abilities of the tribal women. | ||||||||||
