The Hopi used both adobe and stone to build their homes with.
The technology the Hopi used was varied. They made adobe bricks for their homes. They also used wooden farm implements, spindles and looms for weaving cotton (and later wool), and pump drills for boring holes in turquoise and other beads.
Hopi homes are made of Adobe- which is a type of clay to protect blistering heat. It was also built from Pueblos- made of stones and mud. And some Hopi's used Reed houses.

Hopi artists are famous for their intricately carved Katina dolls, fine pottery, and weaving baskets. All of these arts are still flourishing today and helps them to communicate above their culture. The Hopi people originally learned the silversmith trade from the Spaniards. The Hopi people became master silversmiths utilizing sterling silver and sometimes gold thus creating incredible intricate carvings with only the use of very basic silversmith's tools. Hopi jewelry, particularly vintage or old pawn is probably the most expensive native American jewelry on the market today. Ironically, the Hopi are still the poorest of tribes. I guess we know who is making the money on their craft.
