The Hopi Survival Kit by Thomas E. Mails. 1997.
***
I read this book back in the 90s. It's about the teachings of the traditional Hopi: Their prophecies of things to come (now!) and how to survive them. I didn't think they could happen but looking around me, now (2010)... I'm definitely concerned.
In the last century we had The Roaring '20s, The Great Depression, and WWII (& WWI). I'm very concerned that history is going to repeat itself.
The Hopi Survival Kit tells the story of the traditional Hopis, their prophecies, their struggles against unending opposition in modern times and the key to survival. The key can be summed up in one phrase: BLEND WITH THE LAND AND CELEBRATE LIFE.
This book contains the teachings that the traditional Hopi wanted to get out to the world concerning their prophecies, philosophy, and the key to survival.
Get ready. Things are going to get interesting.

Notes from The Hopi Survival Kit by Thomas E. Mails, 1997:
Blend With The Land And Celebrate Life. There Is A Gentle Way to Survival.
Simple Life, Self-Sufficiency, Sharing.
Respect all living things.
To escape the wrath indicated by the prophecies; begin by:
1. Making your own Covenant with Massaw (the Guardian Spirit of the Earth).
2. Living simply, as Maasaw himself lives. [the good, spiritual Maasaw]
3. Practicing self-denial.
4. Practicing self-sufficiency. [min. 1 yr. stored food supplies & self-sufficient]
5. Changing your priorities [to spiritual ones]
6. Recognizing that it is the Creator's wish to rescue us, and that, together with the Hopi, we can rescue the world.
"Be self-sufficient so that you are not dependent upon others for survival. Don't rely on supermarkets for food and don't be entirely dependent upon wages. What will happen to you if someday the white man's world collapses?"
