"Any attempt to delineate a single set of boundaries for Hopitutskwa thus conflicts to some degree with the reality of how knowledge is distributed and used for religious purposes within the Hopi Tribe." (Kuwanwisiwma and Ferguson, p 142)
"... the Hopis and their ancestors have used land in areas far beyond the depicted boundaries, the cartographic image of Hopitutskwa is often more powerful than the written narrative." (Kuwanwisiwma and Ferguson, p 143)

Indian Country
"Indian Country is about as provisional as "Marlboro country," that is, it is an image, or a state of mind, or a sociological phenomenon to many. Indian country is an incredibly complex jurisdictional issue disguised in a colorful phrase" (Ragsdale 1985 as cited in in Sutton, I. 1991, p. 10).
"That the idea moved from a popular conception to a highly technical legal term is testimony to the ability of the law to incorporate customs within its intellectual framework (emphasis added)" (Deloria and Lytle 1983 as cited in Sutton, I. 1991, p. 10)
