WashingtonPost.com: Mountain Lion [an error occurred while processing this directive] An Unnatural History of Pumas and People Chapter One: Native Americans and American Lions The spiritual center of the universe is located on a high, dry plateau in northeastern Arizona, where land stretches out in a vast meditation of mind, and mountains ring the far horizon wish surrealistic shapes of desire. This is Hopi Land. For nearly a thousand years the Hopi people have raised corn, squash, and beans without irrigation in a place where rainfall averages eight to twelve inches a year. Their success points to the power of Hopi ceremonials. Today, as they always have, Hopis focus their lives on communication with the spiritual world. Throughout the year they dance and pray in ritual celebrations. Hopi culture is one of the most intact Native lifeways left in North America, and mountain lions play a strong symbolic role in it. Hopi Land was the first place I visited to try to understand how the force of the sacred guides the routine of everyday life. I wondered how real mountain lions fared in the secular world of human ego.
