Read this passage taken from "how the spaniards came to shung-opovi, how they built a mission, and how the hopi destroyed the mission":
well, about this time the strap clan were ruling at shung-opovi, and they were the ones that gave permission to establish the mission. the spaniards, whom they called castillia, told the people that they had much more power than all their chiefs and a whole lot more power than the witches. the people were very much afraid of them, particularly if they had much more power than the witches. they were so scared that they could do nothing but allow themselves to be made slaves. whatever the spaniards wanted done must be done. any man in power who was in this position the hopi called to-ta-achi, which means a grouchy person who will not do anything himself, like a child. they couldn't refuse, or they would be slashed to death or punished in some way. there were two to-ta-achi.
the missionary did not like the ceremonies. he did not like the kachinas, and he destroyed the altars and the customs. he called it idol worship and burned up all the ceremonial things in the plaza.
which of these elements are found in the hopi story?

Read the excerpt from the land. in the late afternoon i did the same, but all the time i was on the stallion, i was aware that mitchell was watching me. he had appeared on the edge of the woods and had just stood there watching ghost wind and me as we went round and round the meadow. finally, on one of our turns past him, he said: "s'pose you thinkin' you a real somebody 'cause you can ride that stallion." i looked down at mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. now, i don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing i did. maybe i was feeling guilty that because i was my daddy's son, i could ride ghost wind. maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear i said what i said. i no longer was afraid of mitchell. "you want to ride him? " i asked. mitchell took a step backward. it was obvious he hadn't expected me to say that. "you know i can't ride him," he said. "your white daddy'd kill me." "you want to ride him? " i asked again. mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. "so, what if i do?
