The Hopi

Summary

The Hopi Indians live in northeastern Arizona, in towns spread out on and below three different mesas. Like other Pueblo Indians, they are farmers who lived in large towns at the time of European contact. Today, there are twelve villages on the Hopi reservation, all except one of which are populated by Hopi people. The exception is Hano, a village settled by Tewa Indians from the Rio Grande Valley in the late 17th century. Today, the villagers of Hano are known as the Hopi-Tewa. Ancestors of the Hopi (called Hisatsinom by the Hopi) have lived in this region since at least the time of Christ, and one of the towns- Old Oraibi- has been continuously occupied since about A.D. 1100.

Walpi village, located on First Mesa in Hopi. The original village of Walpi was established at about 900 A.D., but fearing reprisals, the villagers moved to the top of the mesa after the Pueblo Revolt in 1680. This village has been occupied continuously since that time, though today few if any families live there year-round.
