Yes, they definitely still exist in the same place in northeastern Arizona that they have lived for at least 1000 years. Their name for themselves is: Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, which means mannered or righteous or well behaved, or peaceful little ones. There are about 20,000 Hopi which is about as many as there have ever been. About 7,000 live on the Hopi Nation. About 75% speak Hopi which is in the Uto Aztecan family.

In 1582 there were reported to be 12,000 people in five villages. In 1910 there were 2,000 Hopi.

The Hopi Nation today is 2,531 square miles mainly on First, Second and Third Mesas which are on the southern edge of Black Mesa. Today there are 16 villiages. The annual tribal buget is about 21.8 million. The tribal economic development runs twelve businesses and gets coal mining royalties. They have repeatedly turned down the idea of casinos. There is a tribal website for some more information.
