The Hopi Indians are instrumental in the Awakening, as their culture is open to contact with extraterrestrials and ... they have had open contact ahead of most of the rest of the world. Unlike closed cultures, where denial rules so strongly that those suggesting that visitations are occurring are punished and even killed, the Hopi honored their contactees, and likewise treated their visitors with respect. Consequently the Hopi are being used as a communication vehicle during the Transformation period. Those among them brave enough to tell their stories to the world are running the same risk as all who further the Awakening, as the establishment wants the status quo to continue and death and injury and endless harassment are common tools of the establishment. The Hopi are perhaps better suited than most to be educators, as their true stories are often scoffed at as being just Indian legends, so the impact their stories make to a great extent go unobserved.
