Hopi Wedding
Hours before the sun came up on the fifth day (March 23, 2019), Sarah Honanie, in the green sweater, mixes yucca root with water, while Gloria Phillips (top left) takes Kars’s hair down. When yucca root is mixed with water it turns into a natural shampoo. The couples’ hair was washed, then it was intertwined and washed together, bonding them in marriage and signifying their union as husband and wife.
