About: As a Hopi, water is very important because it supports all life around the world that we live on. In the picture there is a Hopi man performing a ceremony. Through his smoke he sends prayers for all life on earth. He prays for the clouds to come from each direction to bring moisture to the fields, land, animals, insects and humans, all of which benefit from water, the most precious of all resources. Without water we cannot live, especially in Arizona where we live in a desert so each drop of rain is a blessing.
