Corn is the lifeblood of the Hopi and the rain sustains the corn. Corn is the heart of the Hopi diet and has provided the Hopi with life for nearly a millennium. The connection between the people and the corn is pervasive and deeply sacred. Corn and the maiden together are the most important to the Hopi culture, both are necessities for survival. She has no face, which symbolizes the egalitarian society of the Hopi people. She represents a people, not an individual. The Hopi thought is: One Mind, one Body and one Spirit.
