Asked by Wiki User

The Anasazi are people who lived in the high plateau four corners area for 800 years until 1300. In the 1200s they started moving south and east and consolidating in the locations of the Modern Pueblo peoples. Some of them moved to the Hopi mesas. The Hopi were at their location as early at 1000 AD. They share in the same culture. They trace many of their clans and rituals to different Anasazi locations. The Hopis and Pueblo people are the Anasazi's direct descendants. Today there are about 18,000 Hopi members of the Hpoi Nation mostly on the three mesas on the southern edge of Black mesa were they have always lived, to the northeast of Flagstaff. About 75% speak Hopi. Many still farm corn and participate in complex rituals. Attached is the Hopi Nation website.

How do the Navajo differ from the hopi?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is thought that the Navajo learned to grow corn beans and squash from the Hopi and other Pueblo people and from their ancestors, the Anasazi. Corn has been central to Navajo life for as long as they have been Navajo and not like other southern Athabascan peoples. It is also thought that Navajo learned to weave cotton from the Hopi and the same other groups. Among the Hopi men are weavers and among the Navajo mostly women weave. The Navajo then adapted this to weaving wool after the late 1500s and elaborated the designs to reflect Navajo philosophy. By the 1700s their weaving was famous and valued with tribes far away in the northern Great Plains

What happened when the Hopi tribe met European settlers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Spanish missions failed with the Hopi largely from arrogance and poor morals of the Christians.Hopi today, like many Indians, take the best of Christianity and their own traditions.They are remarkably attached to their traditions yet wear Walmart clothes often!Medicine, too, is from both modern and traditional. One of the best things is how the gentle Hopi have influenced the mainstream culture just by being themselves.

Hopi have dark hair and eyes and medium dark skin. They have a look like other Pueblo people. In the past, Hopi women wore dresses with the left shoulder bare. They wore blankets as shawls when it was cold, they live at about 6000 ft. The worn moccasin and separate leggings. Unmarried women had very elaborate hairstyles called squash blossom style. Married women wore it in two long twisted bunches on each side of their head. Men wore breech-cloth or a kind of skirt, woven belt, moccasins and scarf headband and their hair in a bun called a homsoma. They wore blankets when it it was cold.

Later men wore their hair with straight bangs and to cut a little below chin length. They also later worn loose cotton pants and shirts

Today, except during ceremonies Hopi wear regular American modern clothes often of the same sort you would see any western rancher wear. At ceremonies, unless they are in it, people dress modestly.

How did the Hopi tribe get to Arizona?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Hopi tradition the Hopi clans migrated after entering this, the fourth world. Each went to the farthest they could go in their chosen direction. There are many stories about their travels and how they finally made it to where the Hopi live today. That site has had Hopi living there for about 1100 years. The stories tell of the clans arriving over a period of 800 years. The name of various clans reflect their travels. There is no reason to doubt that Hopi clans in fact lived other places once. The so called Anasazi sites are clearly direct ancestors of today's Pueblo people including the Hopi. The Hopi language is related to ones as far south as southern Mexico and as far north as Wyoming. The last group to arrive we know about from historic times. After the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 some Rio Grande Tewa speakers moved to Hopi lands and were allowed to settle there. They still speak Tewa, Hopi and English to this day.

The Hopi's name for themselves in Hopi is Hopituh Shi-nu-mu. This is often translated as the Peaceful Ones or Peaceful little ones. A better translation might be the Righteous, or Civilized or well Mannered Ones. They have lived for 1100 years on three mesas at about 6000ft in the high desert in what is now Arizona. They have matrilineal clans. They are an agricultural people whose principal crop was and is corn. They live in stone and adobe villages that the Spanish called Pueblos. 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.
