This is just one part of the interior of the Hopi Room in the Desert View Watchtower. It is massive!

These photos as well as the proceeding 3 blog entries show the art work of the Hopi Artist Fred Kabotie. The scenes depict various Hopi mythology and Hopi Religious ceremonies. Fred Kabotie was hired by the American architect Mary Coulter in 1932 to paint these distinctive images on the interior walls of the Desert View Watchtower which is located in what is now the Grand Canyon National Park. The Watchtower was paid for by the Fred Harvey Company. The Fred Harvey Company is a company that has very long and deep roots in the American Southwest history. I hope you enjoy the photos!

I am very happy that these pictures are bringing enjoyment to you & others. I just absolutely love the Southwestern area of the US as well as the native american artwork.
Thanks again — I have already told you that I find the south-west, and especially the Indian culture, to be very special and dear to my heart. I so much appreciate you sharing these images.
