There are about 20,000 Hopi today. They speak a Uto-Aztecan language and today English as well. The Hopi Nation is today 2,531.773 sq mi. They share many cultural traits with other Pueblos people but they resisted the Spanish more successfully and after 1680 when they killed and drove them off they were not colonized until the American period. They are famous for their beautiful pottery and jewelery. The are also known for their kachina carvings and rituals. the Hopi say that the differnet clans came to the mesas after traveling to all the four directions. They say they live their traditional life there in order to keep this fourth world in balance and going. To them the difficult life and many rituals is what keeps them and the whole world of the correct path.
They have repeatedly voted against casinos. They have a radio station, and run hotels and other properties. They receive royalties from the Black Mesa coal mine.
