The Mishongnovi Ceremonies Of The Snake And Antelope Fraternities (1902) is a book written by George Amos Dorsey. The book is a detailed account of the religious ceremonies and practices of the Snake and Antelope fraternities of the Hopi people of Arizona. The book describes the various rituals and ceremonies performed by the fraternities, including the Snake Dance and the Antelope Dance, which are considered to be among the most important ceremonies in Hopi religion. The book also includes descriptions of the costumes, masks, and other ceremonial objects used in the ceremonies, as well as the songs and prayers that are part of the rituals. The author provides a detailed analysis of the symbolism and meaning behind the various elements of the ceremonies and explores the role of the fraternities in Hopi society.
