The HopiBy Javon Aviles
Hopi Facts
The Hopi Indians and their ancestors are Native Americans who have lived in Northwestern Arizona for thousands of years. These Southwest American Indians inhabit an area called the Black Mesa, a plateau which rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding grasslands, and refer to this place as the center of the universe. They are entirely surrounded by the much larger, Navajo reservation. Facts and history about these Southwest American Indians can be found below
The Hopi Name
Information suggests that the name 'Hopi' is translated to mean peaceful person.
Hopi’s Clothing
Hopi lived in a very warm and dry climate so clothing was usually kept to a minimum.
Men typically wore a simple breechcloth for cover and deerskin moccasins on their feet. They usually wore their hair in a bun called a homsoma along with a headband tied around their forehead
Hopi Pottery
Native Americans like the Hopi made pottery with clay. They hardened the clay so they can make the position of it
The Hopi Blue Star
The Hopi elders have long passed down their myths and prophecies such as the Hopi Blue Star, from generation to generation via oral tradition. Additional details are extrapolated from their many ancient rock pictographs and tablets.
