Kokopelli is a cross-cultural icon. To the Navajo he is Water Sprinkler; to the Hopi he represents the Flute Clan. To the Ancient Pueblos . . . well that is anyone's guess, and speculate they do. They being archaeologists, anthropologists and just about everyone out there with a "gist" at the end of their title. Whatever the case, Kokopelli is one of the most portrayed images of the Southwest. So, Navajo basket weaver Nellie Black has woven her very own interpretation of this well-known figure and has done an impressive job. Here's to the flute player!
