The outer area is a model house for tourists to visit, and there are basically no people inside, only some daily necessities, reflecting the life of the Hopi people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this case, they naturally can't start trading, and they have to trade into residential areas.
But the residential area was blocked by a fence, and it was up to Hans to take the two feathers from Li Du's hand, and then go to the Hopi who were guarding the entrance.
Seeing him approaching, a big man waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, you can't go inside, you refuse to visit inside, please respect our privacy." ”
Turis whispered, "Ha, these guys also know how to use privacy to refuse tourists?" This is a step forward. ”
Hans flashed two colored feathers and smiled, "We are our own people, man, we are our own people." ”
The appearance of the feather made the Hopi people let their guard down, and the big man checked it and motioned to open the fence gate, and said, "Well, welcome to you, although I don't know where you got the Feather of Friendship." ”
Hans smiled: "It must have been obtained legally and compliantly, by the way, man, do your people have any daily necessities that they need?" We've brought something that might interest you? ”
Hearing this, the big man became vigilant: "Oh, you want to come and seek trade? I'm sorry, I can't do that, you'll have to talk to our tribal secretary. ”
These Hopis were not savage, they were gentler and more talkative than many of the Indians in the city, but they were also more reserved.
Dahan led them into a room-like room, told them to rest, and then he went to the tribal secretary.
Li Du asked, "And the tribal secretary?" I thought it was the patriarch who was in charge. ”
Hans introduced: "No, the village of Olaibi is very large, divided into several parts, and the patriarch is in charge of the whole land, but he usually does not come forward, and if there is a problem, he always asks the person in charge of each part. ”
"They not only have tribal secretaries, but also tribal treasurers, sheriffs, vice-chairmen, and other positions, and the leadership structure of the tribe is very different from before."
The tribe of the Hopi is not just one village, but several, and they are now in the three major plateaus, united in the village of Old Olaibi, in addition to the settlements of Bakawi, Upper Mengkopi, and Kektsmuvi.
After a while, the Indians who had hosted them came up with a dark-skinned woman and introduced, "This is our tribal secretary, Marthalie, the Ice Born, Hananye. ”
Li Du came forward to shake hands with her, and Marthalie smiled and asked, "May I ask where did you get your friendship feather?" ”
This feather of friendship was not a very unusual thing, otherwise the women in the drink shop would not have given them two because they had tipped a little.
Li Du honestly explained the way to get it, and after listening, Marthalie took out her mobile phone and made a call, nodded and said, "You didn't lie to me, what you said is true." ”
Seeing this, Li Du was stunned, these Indians use mobile phones? Doesn't that mean they've completed electrification?
He looked at Hans, and Haas and the others were a little stunned, apparently they weren't really familiar with the Hopi.
Li Du felt that the eggs hurt, and they brought a bunch of handmade supplies, I'm afraid that people may not be rare.
Marthalie hung up the phone and said, "I'm sorry, guys, you are friends of our Hopi people, but we can't just let you in and trade with our people, because they are all simple and easy to deceiver. ”
Hans said, "Friends don't lie to friends, Marthalie, believe in our friendship with your tribe, we are your true friends!" ”
Marthalie smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't see that. ”
Hans pulled out his phone and showed her a video.
Li Du didn't know what he was putting in it, so he leaned in to take a look, and then he saw that his phone recorded the scene of his previous confrontation with the Navajo people.
The video begins with Hans's arrival and continues until they leave.
Because the camera doesn't have a high pixel and his hand is constantly shaking, the video looks a little blurry, but you can still see what happened.
After watching this conflict, the smile on Marthalie's face became much more sincere, especially after seeing that Li Du shot down a boulder at the end, she said happily: "Great job!" ”
Li Du understood that the contradiction between the two clans was really big.
After watching the video, Marthalie asked, "Can I take a copy with me?" I think some of our clansmen would love to watch videos like this. ”
Hans waved his hand generously and said, "Of course, we are friends. ”
Marthalie nodded appreciatively at him, "Yes, we are friends, you can go in and trade with my people, I trust you will not take advantage of their innocence to deceive them." ”
"Absolutely not." The crowd swore an oath.
Marthalie beckoned to the Indian and said, "Sinquah, go, prepare for them the feather of true love, this is our good friend." ”
Each person was given a feather, which they held in their hands, so that in the territory of the Hopi, all the people would welcome them.
When he went back to drive, Li Du smiled: "There is a slang saying in our culture that the enemy of the enemy is the friend. ”
"At first, we learned that Boss Lee and the Navajo had a conflict, and we didn't know what was going on, but now we know that there is a special purpose. ”
Hans said proudly, "You have to thank me, it was my quick reaction, and after knowing that Lee and the Navajo people clashed, I quickly seized the opportunity to video it." ”
Without this video, they might have been able to enter the Hopi to trade, but it would be much more difficult, and they would have to think of all kinds of things to talk about.
The Hopi live in small thatched huts, which are a bit haphazard and have no special roads, so if you walk in and have no one to guide you, you are likely to get lost.
Drove the pickup into the village, and glanced at Li Du, Hans and the others were also the first to arrive, and they were equally curious about everything in the tribe.
The first thing that is certain is that the things they bring are of little value, and it will be difficult to trade with the Indians.
The Hopi are different from the Amish in that they like to barter, but they don't like old-fashioned tools like guillotins and pedal looms.
"We should have imagined that more than a century ago, when the Kimu Valley Boarding School was established, the Hopi learned the use of modern social tools. ”
Their car was parked in front of a small school, and Hans wanted to see if there was anything to trade in the school, so he knocked on the door and went in to ask a teacher.
The teacher said, "Oh, we have a broken projector here, do you have a projector?" If there is one, we can trade. ”
Li Du: "It's over!" ”
