Abstract
The effect of white contacts on two Hopi communities of similar geographic environment and similar cultural heritage has differed significantly. In the one, changes have proceeded according to an essentially integrative pattern, while in the other it has ben disruptive. An inquiry into this problem, by the use of psychological as well as anthropological techniques, reveals the far-reaching significance of the ceremonial system in maintaining the delicate balance of the Hopi social system and personality.
