Blainer) What about the legends of the FLOOD? Are they lies? A legend I read of the Hopi is that they came from the West, island hopping until they landed on the American mainland. The traditional scientific wisdom is that they came across the Bering Strait when it was iced over. But that would mean they came into their present location from the North. Their legends contradict this. Besides they are not related to the Eskimos, but speak a Uto-Aztecan language, indicating they are related to Central American Indians. They also have legends of a God, whom the call the "Lost White Brother," also called Pahana, whom they expect to return some day and bring universal brotherhood and peace. This is taken from a book called THE BOOK OF THE HOPI, by Frank Waters, a non-LDS writer who lived among the Hopi for several years.
