Earth Fire

A Hopi Legend of the Sunset Crater Eruption

"Photographs by Southwestern photographer Stephen Trimble add vibrancy to a book of genuine beauty." —Arizona Highways

For the first time in both English and Hopi, Earth Fire tells the ancient and powerful Hopi Indian legend of the creation of northern Arizona's Sunset Crater. The Ka'nas kachina mingles with mortals in a saga of marriage and magic, betrayal and revenge, prosperity and famine.

Essays on the archaeology and geology of Sunset Crater National Monument amplify understanding of the legend.
