thank you clarifying this ... I used the incorrect rhetoric when I expressed my feelings with the word ignorance. Yes you are correct it is a closed society and I understood this fully when we ventured there. I was not expecting much at all only to "feel" something from the land that they have settled on. According to Hopi history they wandered for many years before settling there and I wanted to "feel" or experience the land as a way of understanding the why of that space.
My experience on the human level just shocked me in the fact that it bore for me a mirroring of the tension both in Iraq as you pointed out but also with the Holy City. It seems that at times those who are at their wisest fall victim to the "cultural tensions" that you speak of. This is what I was referring to when I stated ignorance or maybe it would be better put as clouded. I only felt sad that this tension existed and so many lose out on the strength of the spiritual messages that may be helpful in solving some of the tensions of this universe....

But is it illustrative of cultural tension across the world, which we all hope could be reduced with understanding. There is probably a lesson there for us regarding Iraq: much of the tension results from the imposition of law and boundaries by the U.S. gov't.
Hopi society, in particular Hopi religious society, is very closed. It will take great persistence if you hope to learn things there that are not in books. Good luck.
