Excerpts from pp. 19-22:
Although Alexander Middleton Stephen was to spend nearly fifteen years (1879-1894) at Keam’s Canyon observing the Navajos and, later, the Hopis and Dr. Jeremiah Sullivan was even more a participant in Hopi social and ceremonial life, it was Cushing who initiated ethnology in the Southwest and became the example par excellence of the anthropologist as participant observer. … After Jeremiah Sullivan left in 1888, Stephen (Alexander M. Stephen) became the local authority on the Hopis...
Captain John Gregory Bourke returned to the Hopi villages in 1881 and with assistance from Sullivan produced his well-known book The Snake-Dance of the Moquis of Arizona in 1884.
Of all those he encountered, two men in particular were to fascinate Ten Kate (Herman Frederik Carel ten Kate, Jr., b. February 7, 1858, Amsterdam): Te-na-tsa-li, or Medicine Flower -- Frank Hamilton Cushing, and Oyiwisha, or He Who Plants Maize -- Dr. Jeremiah Sullivan. … Jeremiah Sullivan, M.D., was relegated to footnotes during the period -- apparently for political reasons -- yet he provided valuable ethnographic material to a number of ethnologists who visited the Hopi between 1881 and 1888. Jeremiah Sullivan was the son of Hopi agent John H. Sullivan, who served from October 1880 to February 1882. The younger Sullivan joined his father on Christmas Day 1880. He sought at once to provide medical assistance to the Hopi and in early 1881 moved onto First Mesa, where he lived until 1888. Efforts by the next Hopi agent to evict the young doctor led to the establishment of the Moqui (Hopi) reservation in December 1882. By then the Hopi agency was abandoned and Jeremiah Sullivan was free to participate in Hopi life undisturbed.
Ten Kate visited the Hopi village for only five days but provides a rich account of Hopi language and culture, thanks to Dr. Sullivan, who had compiled a Hopi vocabulary for the Bureau of Ethnology and recorded Hopi narratives and songs. After leaving the Hopi villages, Sullivan completed his medical training at the University of Louisville in 1894 and then served as a physician in southern Idaho (Hieb and Diggle 2002).
