What type of housing did pharaohs live in?
The Pharaoh's lived in grand palaces built by the peasants.
While I'm sure that Pharaohs palaces was indeed on a much grander scale than other Egyptian homes they we not built by "peasants". They we built by artisans and craftsmen out of mud bricks the same as any other Egyptian home. The Egyptians used stone for religious structure that were intended to last forever.
The peasants lived in "waddle and dab" huts, near the niles shifting shores. The pharaohs lived in nicely apportioned tents. One can find examples of afterlife chambers being carved to imitate the pharoahs tents, replete with tent poles. Given the amount of labor for stone work, it's use in Egyptian architecture remained the provinance of religious temples.
Well... Pharaohs did not live in grand palaces, Artisans made gold and silver, and peasants were called slaves. Pharaohs did live in a nicer place, only the rich people had furniture, but unlike slavery we know it was better. Slaves lived in the homes of the Upper Class where they ate what pharaohs ate, slept in nice beds, and wore the same clothing.

What where hopi Indian clothig made out of?
The Hopi Indians, having lived for thousands of years, did not originally wear very much clothing. The men would wear a breechclout or a short kilt. The women would wear a dress fastened on the right shoulder. Eventually, missionaries thought they did not wear enough clothing, so the women started wearing blouses under their mantas. The Hopi women still wear that today.
Did Hopi Indians use dream catchers?
There is no evidence that any native American group (except perhaps the Chippewas) made or used dream catchers in historic times. The Lakotas and other Sioux groups certainly made hoops; these were for playing the hoop-and-pole game, or for religious purposes, or (in smaller form) for use as a warrior's hair ornament and protective medicine in battle.
What did the Navajo Hopi Anasazi do that is unusual?
The Navajo and Hopi are modern people who both live in the American Southwest but are very different in many ways. They speak completely unrelated languages for example. We don't know what the Anasazi spoke. Probably several languages in different families. The Navajo have borrowed some ideas from the Hopi. The ancient Hopi lived at the same time as the now gone Anasazi, shared many cultural traits and probably some of the Hopi clans are descended from Anasazi groups. Some Navajo clans are probably from Anasazi groups too.
As a whole it is very hard to say what they did and do that is "unusual". That depends on what you think is usual.

Hopi, English
The Hopi are a Native American people who primarily live on the 12,635 km² (2,531.773 sq mi) Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. The Hopi Reservation is entirely surrounded by the much larger Navajo Reservation. The two nations used to share the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area. The partition of this area, commonly known as Big Mountain, by Acts of Congress in 1974 and 1996, has resulted in seemingly endless controversy.[1][2][3]
The Hopi area according to the 2000 census has a population of 6,946 people.

According to Hopi oral tradition, the Hopi are a gathering of diverse groups representing clans from different areas, now identifying culturally as one group of people with a single language.[4] Athabascan migrations from Canada (forming the modern Navajo and Apache nations) ending as late as the 15th century may have caused the Hopi move from original village locations at the bottoms of mesas to the tops where these villages could be defended. Popularly these are known as First, Second and Third Mesas because of their order of Spanish encounter. In contrast, the formerly nomadic Navajo typically live in small family groups now widely distributed across northeastern Arizona, southeastern Utah, southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. The Hopi have been village dwellers for many centuries (nine villages existed at the arrival of the Spanish -Sikyatki, Koechaptevela, Kisakovi, Sichomovi, Mishongnovi, Shipaulovi, Shungopavi, Oraibi and Awatovi). The Hopi village of Old Oraibi, located on Third Mesa and founded about the year 1100, is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the United States. [5]
[edit] CultureThe name Hopi is a shortened form of what these Native American people call themselves, Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, "The Peaceful People" or "Peaceful Little Ones" [6]. The Catholic Encyclopedia lists the name Hopi as having been derived from "Hopita", meaning those who are "peaceful ones". Hopi is a concept deeply rooted in the culture's religion, spirituality, and its view of morality and ethics. The Hopi religion is anti-war. To be Hopi is to strive toward this concept, which involves a state of total reverence and respect for all things, to be at peace with these things, and to live in accordance with the instructions of Maasaw, the Creator or Caretaker of Earth. The Hopi observe their traditional ceremonies for the benefit of the entire world.
Traditionally, Hopi are organized into matrilineal clans. When a man marries, the children from the relationship are members of his wife's clan. These clan organizations extend across all villages. Children are named, however, by the women of the father's clan. On the twentieth day of a baby's life, the women of the paternal clan gather, each woman bringing a name and a gift for the child. In some cases where many relatives would attend, a child could be given over forty names, for example. The child's parents generally decide the name to be used from these names. Current practice is to either use a non-Hopi or English name or the parent's chosen Hopi name. A person may also change their name upon initiation into one of the religious societies such as the Kachina society.
The Hopi still practice a complete cycle of traditional ceremonies although not all villages retain or ever had the complete ceremonial cycle. These ceremonies take place according to the lunar calendar and are observed in each of the Hopi villages. Nonetheless, like other Native American groups, the Hopi have been impacted by Christianity. The Hopi have been affected by the missionary work carried out by several Christian denominations, however, with relatively little impact on Hopi religious practices.
Traditionally the Hopi are highly skilled micro or subsistence farmers. The Hopi also interact in the wider cash economy; a significant number of Hopi have mainstream jobs; others earn a living by creating high quality Hopi art, notably the carving of Kachina dolls, the expert crafting of earthenware ceramics, and the design and production of fine jewelry, especially sterling silver.
[edit] The Hopi peopleWhen a child is born, they receive a perfect ear of corn. On the 20th day, the child is taken to the mesa cliff and held facing the rising sun. When the sun touches the baby, it is given a name.
Kachinas or Kat'sinas or Qat'sinas are referenced extensively in the Hopi. Kat'sina literally means "life bringer" in Hopi. A Kat'sina can be anything from an element, to a quality, to a natural phenomenon, to a concept. There are over 300 to 400 different Kat'sinas. Traditionally, Kat'sina dolls, which are made by the maternal uncles, are given to young uninitiated girls at the spring Bean Ceremony and Home Dance.
[edit] Famous HopiThey used the adobe clay for building homes. The adobe helps keep them cool.

Which is a symbolic meaning of a kachina doll?

What happens in a Aqiqa ceremony?
What Aqiqah?
Aqiqah, in Islamic terminology, is defined as the animal that is slaughtered on the occasion of child birth.
The performance of Aqiqah is highly encouraged. It is to be performed by the parents or the guardians of the child. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions used to perform Aqiqah when they were bestowed with a newborn. 'Aqīqa consists of giving a name to the baby, shaving its hair, and offering a sacrifice. It is recommended that the new-born baby should be given either a compound name containing one of the most beautiful names of God (e.g. 'Abd Al-Hamīd), or the name of one of the fourteen Ma'sūms or another holy figure; or that a name should be found from the Qur'ān. In the latter case, the Qur'ān is opened with the solemn intention of seeking God's guidance and blessing and saying bi-'smi 'llāhi r-rahmān r-rahīm, and then a name derived from one of the Arabic roots found on that page is chosen.
When Should Aqiqah be Performed?
The best time to perform Aqiqah is on the seventh day after the birth of the baby.
What is the Purpose of Aqiqah?
There are many benefits in the performance of Aqiqah. One is the announcing the birth of the baby. Being bestowed a child is a great blessing from the Creator. Another purpose is inviting family members, neighbors, and friends to celebrate the blessed occasion. The poor should be included in the celebration by offering them food and meat served on this occasion.
Types of animals to be slaughtered
The following is a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) where he advised Aqiqah a goat/sheep.
Narrated Umm Kurz: The Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Two sheep which resemble each other are to be sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl. (Sunan Abu Dawood Book 15, No. 2830)
The condition of the animal for aqiqah
The condition of the animals in Aqiqah is the same as the conditions for the animals in Qurbani. The animals to be slaughtered must be a goats, cows or camels. For camels, it must be older than 6 years, for cows the age must be older than 3 years and for goats, it must be older than 2 years. They must be free from any form of handicap such as blind, sick, limp and undernourished. The animals must be slaughtered in the appropriate humane ways.
The following is then recited (first that for a boy, then for a girl):
In the Name of God and through God, this is the 'aqīqa of…. (name of the boy), son of …. (name of the father): its flesh [i.e., the flesh of the sacrifice of the 'aqīqa] for his flesh blood, its bone for his bone, its hair for his hair, its skin for his skin. O God, let it be a protection of the family of Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family.
The hair of the baby s shaved. It is recommended to weigh the cut hair in silver, and give its value to the poor or to orphans as alms. A goat, a sheep or other such animal should be sacrificed either after shaving the hair or at the same time, but not before. It is recommended to read the following prayer at the time when the animal is about to be slaughtered:
O gathering, I am free from what you associate; I turn my face to He who split the heavens and the earth, a true believer and a Muslim, and not one of the polytheists. My prayer, my piety, my living, and my dying are for God, the Lord of the Words. O God, from You and to You, in the Name of God; God is greater. O God, bless Muhammad, and accept [this] from … (name of the child). Son / daughter of …… (name of the father).
After the sacrifice, the greater part of the meat should be distributed among the poor and needy. It may also be served to the guests, but it is disapproved for the parents of the baby and their dependents to eat it.
If, due to any reason, 'aqīq is not performed on the seventh day after the birth of the child, it may be offered later on, at any time, even by the child itself after attaining puberty.
This rite is not obligatory but recommended, and there are many Traditions which emphasize it.
Dua'a 252 According to Imam Jafar bin Muhammad as Sadiq recite either of the following du'a'a at the time of slaughtering the animal for aqiqah (The ceremony of shaving the hair of an infant on the sixth day after birth)
In the name of Allah and by Allah, this aqiqa (sheep slaughtered) is of (mention the name of the child with father's name); its flesh (instead of) his/her flesh, its blood (instead of) his/her blood, its bones, (instead of) his/her bones (are offered) to You. O Allah, (accept it) as that by which (this child) may be protected and preserved, in the name of the children of Muhammad, blessings of Allah be on him and on his children, and peace.
In the name of Allah, by Allah, praise be to Allah, Allah is the greatest, faith is in Allah, thanks to the messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be on him and on his children) for safeguarding His command, gratitude for His sustenance, and awareness of us Ahl ul Bayt (our merits) by His grace.
Recite the following if the child is male:
O Allah, verily You have given us a son. You alone know what You have given and what has been granted, and (You alone know everything about) whatever You create. So accept (our offering offered) in accordance with Your command and the traditions of Your prophet and messenger (blessings of Allah be on him and on his children), and keep away the accursed Shaytan from us. This blood is pouring out for Your sake only (a.s.) there is no partner to share (it) with You, O my Allah, praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. O my Allah, this meat (instead of) his meat, this blood (instead of) his blood, these bones (instead of) his bones., these hair (instead of) his hair, this skin (instead of) his skin (are offered to You), so O my Allah, accept this (sacrifice) instead of the sacrifice of (mention the name of the child.
Is hopi a sub religion of Christianity?
No, Hopi is not a sub religion of Christianity. It is an ancestral Indigenous religion that was practiced long before the Arrival of Europeans to the Americas. The Spanish were the first Europeans to make contact with the Hopi in the early 1500's and for nearly a century after they attempted to convert the Hopi to Christianity forbidding the practice of their traditional religion on pain of death, and forcing the people into a type of economic and social slavery. Yet in 1680 the Hopis as well as the other surrounding pueblo peoples revolted against the Spanish and drove them out of the Southwest back into Mexico, destroying all evidence of the Spanish--their churches, their settlements etc. Though the Spanish did eventually reclaim the territory a decade and a half later the Spanish did not attempt to convert the Hopi and the other pueblo Native Americans like before, and so the Hopi and other pueblos continued their native practices and religions that persist to this day, even amid continued pressure from Christian proselytizing and missionary efforts this time from the United States.
The Hopi word for river is paayu. This is closely related to the word for water - paahu.
