Hopi Happenings!

The Hopi people got their name from a word that means "peaceful people". Hmmm...very interesting and quite a contrast to our Comanche tribe!
Please share interesting information from your research so far.

  2. The Hopi is very interesting. I have learned a lot. For clothing the women wear a gown with a gold stripe at the waist and the hem. Their most important crop is corn. They also grow beans, onions, peaches, apricots, melons, wheat, corn, and squash. The Hopi do not move around. They stay in one spot. I think that is why there houses are nice. Men wear fancy outfits to ceremonies and they wear headdresses and put on body paint. Did you know Hopi means good and peaceful!!!! The men wore straight sleeved shirts made of deer skin. Both men and women wear moccasins on their feet also made out of deer skin. Hopi Indians came to the west in about 500 A.D.This is a cool fact!!! Historians say they were the first tribe to make the U.S their home. They believe that everything should be controlled by art. Many of the jobs are are to make pottery or to make baskets.
