This article presents information about the book "The Snake Ceremonials at Walpi," by J. Walter Fewkes, assisted by A.M. Stephen and J.G. Owens. The ceremonies described in the book took place in the summer of 1891, and lasted through nine days, though they were not continuous, neither did they occur in one place, nor were they always in public. In fact, many of them were given secretly in the estufas of the antelope and the snake societies. As Fewkes suggests, a comparison of the ceremonies observed at Walpi with those that take place, on similar occasions, at the other Moki villages, as well as among certain tribes in Mexico and Central America, may help one to a definite knowledge of their significance.
