505 0  November 1700: The gate unguarded -- The sorcerer's kiva -
       - The singing house -- Wolves from the east -- At play in 
       the fields of the Lord -- You will find me poor, while you
       return in the grandeur of plenty -- Across this deep and 
       troubled land -- Liminal men, liminal souls -- At the 
       moment of the yellow dawn. 
520    The Hopi community of Awat'ovi existed peacefully on 
       Arizona's Antelope Mesa for generations. Then one bleak 
       morning in the fall of 1700 raiders from nearby Hopi 
       villages descended on Awat'ovi, slaughtering their 
       neighboring men, women, and children. Why did kinsmen 
       target it for destruction? Drawing on oral traditions, 
       archival accounts, and extensive archaeological research, 
       Brooks unravels the story and its significance, and argues
       that a perfect storm of internal and external crises 
       revitalized an ancient cycle of ritual bloodshed and 
       purification.
