The Sacred Hoop: Recovering the Feminine in American Indian Traditions

What Fred Young showed me, drawing careful though
incomprehensible formulas on the chalkboard in some dusty
classroom of the Physics Building at the University of New
Mexico sometime long ago so far, was how an Indian tells time.
He said it was the right theoretical way to do it, and he was
right.
* Lagunas start their stories by saying “humma haa,” which means “long ago, so far,”
among other things.
