The Hopi live on a reservation of nearly 4,000 square miles in northeastern

Arizona. Their territory was traditionally known as the Tusayan region.

The Hopi language belongs to the Shoshonean branch of the Uto-Aztecan

language family. In 1950, the Hopi population was 3,500, with village

populations averaging 300 (Eggan 1950: 18). For more extensive summaries

of the Hopi culture, see Lowie (1940), Murdock (1934), Forde (1934),

and Fewkes (1959).

The climate of northeastern Arizona is dry and temperate. Rainfall

averages less than 10 inches per year, primarily in midsummer thunderstorms.

The area is a plateau marked with washes, gullies, canyons, and mesas.

The natural vegetation includes sage, yucca, greasewood, cactus, etc.

The fauna include deer, antelope, wildcat, badger, coyote, and rabbits.

Dogs and turkeys are the Hopi's only native domesticates.
