Kokopilau

 

“Then Kokopilau led the people into a new land. As he played his flute, the land and the wind became warm. In the hump on his back he carried seeds of useful plants. Thus the corn and beans and squash and flowers began to grow as the people traveled with the Hump-backed flute player across the beautiful new Fourth World (to find their new homes) in those early days.”

-From Kokopilau, The Humpbacked Flute Player, Hopi, Keepers of the Earth, Micheal Caduto and Joseph Bruchac.
