Map of where Hopi lived.
The Hopi believed it was their destiny to live in the desert, and because
they were religious they thought the gods wanted them to live in the desert,
so they lived there. They lived in what now is called the four corners, which
is the meeting of 4 states that form corners, the 4 states are Arizona, New
Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.
Climate
The climate was very dry and hot in the desert, which didn’t help the Hopis
case, so they used washes to get water. They did get the sun so the crops
could grow, and they used the corn to make some bread sometimes. It did
rain occasionally which helped out the crops a lot.

The Hopi believed in many gods and spirits
Kachinas
Hopi’s protectors
The kachinas were powerful spirits they
believed in. Kachinas are spirits not gods.”The
hopi believed that they came every year”says
the author of the book If You Lived With The
Hopi.The hopi believed that kachinas had good
hearts like they did good not bad deeds.
(This is a picture of a mini statue kachina.)
If You Were Bad
Learn about the ogre kachina
If you did bad deeds a ogre kachina will go to
your house and would want to eat you and they
come once a year knocking on your door asking
for the child.Your parents would try to defend
you by saying the good deeds you did like if
helped with farming and other families.The
parents would offer rabbit meat to the ogre
kachina.Finally they would tell that other
Families child bad deeds.
(this is a ogre kachina)
Naming ceremony
When you first born you will get the first name.
Different times of your life you get a another
but if you're in the water clan your name will be
Batoti. Another name you get is Hontoechi from
the bear clan.Finally when you’re adult you get
name that will stick forever.So the age of 7 you
get a new name.
Presented To TAWA THE SUN GOD
Tawa is well a sun god that is part of the naming
ceremony that you will go to at age 19 days
when you were first born.You’re grandma was
the one that presented you.You were presented
outside at sunset while your grandma presented
you and your family watched you being
presented.
HOPI RELIGION
The Hopi believed in many gods and spirits.The
first god they believed in was the Sosqtuknang.
The second god is Kokyang Wuuti also known
as Spider Woman. The final god is Tawa the sun
god that you’re presented to. Hopi believe that
these gods created the first human.
Hopi thought that if they did good things and
were nice, they would get prizes/rewards, but if
they didn’t do nice deeds, no rewards for the
village or families. One of the rewards is days of
rain to help crops grow. The second reward they
would get if they were good is the village’s
crops wouldn’t get damaged. The final reward is
good things happening in their families’ lives.
crops wouldn’t get damaged. The final reward is
good things happening in their families’ lives.
THE HOPI WAY
The Hopi tribe believed that if you had a good
heart it means you’re strong a nd helpful you
would also be able to go to religious
ceremonies.If you had sad thoughts you were
not allowed to enter religious ceremonies.So if
you thought about somone who died or if you
got divorced you wont be able to join the
ceremonies.
EAGLE SPIRITS
The hopi would send young children up to ages
of 5 or 7. To climb down the mesa and find a
eagle nest. After the Hopi child found the nest
he would take the baby eagle then go back to the
village.When the Hopi child got to the village
the Hopi tribe probably trained the eagle till the
eagle became fully grown. When the bird
became fully grown the Hopi people would tie
the bird on the roof. The reason why the Hopi
would do this is because they believed that the
would protect them. Another thing the Hopi
believed about the bird is it means strong power
it was strong, would send a message to the gods.
CONCLUSION
These are the things the Hopi believed in.I
hoped you learned anything new.
Hopi Achievements
By Neveaha Benoit
This is a Hopi house.
Introduction
The Hopi had to do many things to live in the desert. Some of the things the Hopi had to do
were build a house for shelter, grow corn for food, and find water and salt to stay alive.
The Hopi House
Many relatives would live in the Hopi house. The people who
lived in the house would be your sister and your brother ,
mom , dad. If there were too many people t hey would not kick
them out, they would build more to the house. Since there
were so many people in your house there could be up to five
floors.
All about corn
T his is what the Hopi These are the corns
made the Hopi would eat
The Hopi made many things and how they would
with corn like cornbread and dry it
which was a bread made
from cornmeal. The Hopi They ate corn almost every
would also make soups, day. The Hopi ate yellow ,
porridges, dumplings and even white , blue , speckled and
snacks and desserts all out even red corn.The Hopi would
of corn. set corn on their roofs for
many months to dry the
corn. Dry corn would last for
years.
Water
The Hopi did not have any rivers or lakes near them. But the
Hopi did have springs. The springs were at the bottom of the
mesa, where the Hopi lived. If it ever snowed or even rained
the mesa would act like a sponge and soak up all of the
water.
Once a year the Hopi men would go on a dangerous trip. The
Hopi would travel until they reached the Grand Canyon.That
was where the men would gather salt that was needed for
cooking. The Hopi could run fast, so it was quicker to get to
the Grand canyon if they ran! But they could not always run,
so if they did not then it could take up to weeks or
sometimes even longer especially if they would not run.The
salt was so important because the Hopi used it in many of
the food they would cook.
The Hopi and Pueblo Revolt of 1680
By: Micah Simmons
In 1680, Pueblo and Hopi Tribes attacked the Spanish, lead by the main
leader of the revolt, Popay. The Spanish were taking over Pueblan and
Hopi tribe’s land. They had to do something about the Spanish.
This is a picture of the revolt.
The Spanish and the Hopi
Spanish took over Hopi land and built Catholic churches to try to get
Hopi to convert religions. Hopi village leaders wanted to get rid of the
Spanish priests and warriors in their village. Then the Hopi heard there
would be an uprising against the Spanish. Eastern Pueblo Tribes were
plotting the uprising. The Hopi sent people to meet with the leader, Popay
and other Pueblo tribes. Popay was a prisoner of the Spanish for a little bit
and was released and he was angry and so he plotted the attack against
the Spanish.
This is a Spanish Catholic church
Power Words
Uprising: an act of rebellion;; resistance
Sentence: The Danish Resistance was a group
of young people who had an u prising against the Nazi (German Soldiers).
This is a statue of Popay in Washington D.C.
Popay and the Revolt
Popay gave each tribe a rope that had knots on it, and each day they were
supposed to unravel a knot. When the last knot was unraveled that is the
day they would attack. The day was set for August 10th, 1680. But a
Pueblan traitor let the Spanish know ahead of time about the revolt. It was
sad, but the Spanish took two Indian youth and tortured them to get some
more information about the revolt. Popay found out about the traitor and he
was mad, so he had no other choice but to switch the date to a day earlier.
So he had representatives that could run fast go to every pueblan tribe that
was participating in the revolt and tell them that it was a day earlier.
Popay’s Revolt was Successful
The Pueblan tribes drove the Spanish into Mexico and
won the war between the Pueblan tribes and the Spanish.
It took around a couple of days of war but the Pueblan
tribes won and the Spanish didn’t come back. The
Pueblan tribes were finally free. The Pueblan tribes
destroyed 400 Spanish and killed ⅔ of the priests in that
region. They ran 2,500 Spanish warriors out of their land.
The Pueblan Revolt was very successful.
Hopi had their own Revolt
The Hopi never found out there had been a day switch
and so they didn’t get to participate in the main revolt led by Popay.
Meanwhile, in the Hopi tribe's area still had Spanish there. So two days
after the main revolt they had their own revolt and brought down Spanish
churches and The Hopi stole and broke the church memorabilia and buried
the church bells. After the revolt, the Hopi spread the livestock among the
Hopi clans.
This is a Spanish church bell.
The Hopi thought the Spanish were
going to Punish them
The Hopi were worried the Spanish were going to come back and attack
them, so because of the worries, they moved on top of the Mesas. The plan
worked, the Spanish did try to attack them, but they couldn’t get to the
Hopi. This would help them because they needed to get away from the
Spanish.
This is a Hopi village on a mesa.
The Spanish King let the Hopi Have
their own land
The Spanish King let the Hopi and Eastern Pueblan tribes have their own
space. Which mean the Hopi were free from the Spanish after lots of
time.Today this space/land is called a reservation.
The Hopi Today
Now the Hopi do not live as their ancestors lived. They do make pretty
jewelry still. Lots of Hopi live in houses we would live in. And Hopi kids go
to regular schools that we go to.
This is the hopi house ( above )
The Hopi House:
The women owned the house so men moved in with the
women. The house was filled with 10 to 20 relatives
that lived in your house. If your house got too crowded,
the females would build on to the house with clay and
wood logs.
Men vs Women:
Women:
Did all the cooking, they had to dry the corn, the g irls
had to learn how to repair the walls.
Girls:
Had to learn how to make pottery, and you had to learn
to grind dry corn and you would sing while you worked.
Men:
Did all the farming (grew the food) and they sewed, had
to chase the crows and kill rodents.
Boys:
You would have to learn to farm, and had to spin cotton
and sew clothing also learn to hunt while using a bow
and arrow.
Games:
If you were a kid you would play field hockey ,archery,
darts, ball games (games like soccer) but they were not
competitive.
Clan/Family life:
The clan was all relatives
Of your mother( n gú u), your Aunts and sisters helped
raise you and your siblings. Your clan (somewhat)
banner for each clan was different (like snake and bear
clan). When the kids grew up they had to marry
somebody from the other clan, Each clan had its own
religious ceremonies. Every clan had its own special
history.
Name:
Once you were born you received your first name, then
when you turned 6 years old you got got a brand new
first name. You never got your last name till you pasted
away or died.
Clothing:
Everyone in your clan wore leggings in the cold.
If you were a girl you wore a black dress called a manta.
Children wore the same type of clothing as adults.
