Are the men or woman in charge of the hopi?
This can be argued in circles, but they practiced a form of society that is still hard to explain.
Men ran the tribe; in that they made the decisions - but - women owned everything (including the name) and the men knew they would face the women in their decisions. It's easy to see (if you think about it) that men kept their women's thoughts in mind when they made decisions.

Today, the Hopi live on their land areas located within the boundaries of another larger Indian tribe (the Dine, or the Navajo Tribe, aka The Navajo Nation) in the northeastern portion of the State of Arizona. The Hopi Indians living in this area live either the traditional or modern lifestyles. As Arizona State Road #264 goes through their land, accessibility is not a problem. However, once you attempt to get off the highway and see rural living at its best, take care as most roads sometimes become impassable during inclement weather.

How did the Three Sisters Growing method work?
This is a phrase for a type of companion planting that was used in many places in the Americas. The beans provide nitrogen to the soil that is used by other plants. Beans fix nitrogen with a symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within nodules in their root systems. The corn (maize) provides a structure for the beans to climb so poles are not needed. The squash shades the ground and helps moisture stay in the soil and the little hairs on the leaves keep away insects. Corn does not have the amino acids lysine and tryptophan, which the human body needs to make proteins and niacin, but beans contain both and therefore corn and beans together provide a balanced diet. In the Southwest a fourth plant, rocky mountain bee plant, was added to attract bees to help pollinate. It's seeds and leaves were eaten as a vegetable. It was also used a medicine and a dye stuff for a black dye.
The Hopi usually planted very deep in sandy soil in areas where it would receive runoff from the mesas. The sand acted as a kind of mulch.
it was made by taking human skulls mixed with extra sweet honey and eggplant with a side of taco deluxe.
