- **Event Description**: Retracing Ancestral Footsteps: Ongtupqa (Grand Canyon) Presented by Presented by Filmer (Yoimasa) Kewanyama, Hopi Tribe Qalwungwa (Sun's Forehead) Clan

Hopi connection to Ongtupqa, Place of the Salt goes back to the beginning of time. Ongtupqa, a place of emergence for Hopi to this world we call Tuuwaqatsi and the clans that eventually migrated through all four corners of this world. Hopi ancestors the Hi'sot Se'nom, migrated through the canyons of Ongtupqa. Although Hopi ancestors left this area to permanently settle on the mesas to the west, there is still a connection to Ongtupqa, as evident by ceremonies and rituals. 

“Retracing the footsteps of ancestors is not only a physical undertaking, but for many, it is also an emotional, cultural and spiritual journey. Ancestral Footsteps will leave you with a deeper understanding of our people’s story, and a new emotional connection to the past as you discover your place in history.” - Kewanyama

Artist Statement: My lineage is descended from the Hopi Tribe of the Southwest. Most of my artwork depicts and chronicles the Hopi way of life, what I feel and know is very important, and sacred to me. We Hopi are of the few Native American people that cling to our old way of life and its ceremonies. As a child growing up on Hopi, I too learned through our initiations the ceremonies that our ancestors passed on to us. The usage of symbols and what I call Katsina colors is crucial to my work. I focus on trying to depict the spirituality of what Hopi means to me The People of Peace. My goal is to bring awareness to non-Hopi on who we are, and to continue to grow spiritually and professionally as an artist. Filmer (Yoimasa) Kewanyama Hopi Tribe Qalwungwa (Sun's Forehead) Clan.
