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.
The Hopi area according to the
2000 census has a population of
6,946 people.
History
Old Oraibi Village
The Oraibi village is the largest Hopi village and has been
occupied since at least 1150 A.D. It has the most importance to
Hopi history. It is the oldest continuously inhabited village in
the United States. In the 1540s there were at least 1,500 to 3,000
members of the Oraibi Village.
Early European Contact, 1540-1680
The first recorded
European contact with the
Hopis was by the
Spanish in 1540.
Spanish General Francisco Vasquez de Coronado had come to America
on an expedition to explore the land. While at the
Zuni villages, he learned of the Hopi tribe. De
Coronado dispatched a man named Pedro de Tovar along with other
members of their regime to find these Hopi villages. The Spanish
wrote that the first Hopi village they visited was Awatovi. They
later noted that there were about 16,000 Hopi and Zuni people.
A few
years later another Spanish explorer by the name of Garcia Lopez de Cardenas came to
investigate the Rio Grande
River
and met the Hopi people. The Hopi warmly
entertained de Cardenas and his men and directed him on his
journey. In 1582-1583 the Hopis were visited by
Antonio de Espejo’s expedition. He noted
that there were around five Hopi villages and around 12,000 Hopi
people. During these early years, the Spanish were exploring and
dominating the southwestern region of the new world. Although they
were present in many other areas, there were never a large number
of them in the Hopi country. Their visits to the Hopi were random
and spread out over many years. Many times the visits were from
military explorations The Spanish colonized near the Rio Grande
and, because the Hopis didn’t have any rivers to give them access
to the Rio Grande, the Spanish never left any troops on their land.
When they first arrived they brought with them Catholic Friars.
1629 is considered the Franciscan Period when 30 Friars came into
Hopi country and created missionaries and churches at Awatovi. The
Hopi Indians originally were against conversion, but after an
incident where Father Porras restored the sight of a blind youth,
by placing a cross over his eyes, the Hopis at Awatovi believed in
Christianity. Most Hopis in the other
villages continued to remain anti-Christian.
Pueblo Revolt of 1680
The priests weren’t very successful in converting the natives so
they persecuted the Hopis for keeping their religion. The Spaniards
also took advantage of Hopi labor and the products they produced.
The harsh treatment and selfish acts of the Spanish caused the
Hopis to become less tolerant of them. Out of all the Hopi Indians,
only the Awatovi village disagreed with this statement.. Eventually
the Rio Grande Pueblo Indians suggested a revolt in the year 1680,
and Hopis supported them. This was the first time that all the
Pueblo Indians worked together to drive the Spanish colonists away.
The Hopi people revolted against the Spanish, attacking missions,
killing friars and destroying the Catholic churches that had been
built. The revolt proved to be a success as the Spanish stayed out
of the area of the Pueblo Indians and the Hopis until 1700. Years
after the revolt, the Hopi Indians living in the village of Awatovi
returned to
Christianity despite the
disapproval of the rest of the Hopi Villages.
Hopi-U.S Relations, 1849-1946
In 1849, John S. Calhoun was appointed official Indian agent of
Indian Affairs for the Southwest
Territory of the U.S.
He had a headquarters in Santa
Fe
and was responsible for all Indian residents of the
area. The first formal meeting between the Hopi
Indians and the U.S Government happened in the year 1850 when seven
Hopi leaders made the trip to Santa Fe
to meet with Calhoun. Their objective was to
ask the government for protection against the
Navajo Indians. At this time, the Hopi leader
was Nakwaiyamtewa.
As a result of this meeting, Fort
Defiance
was established in 1851 in Arizona
and troops
were placed in Navajo country to deal with the Navajo
threats. General James J. Carleton, with the assistance of
Kit Carson, was assigned to travel
through the area. They “captured” the Navajo natives and forced
them to the fort. As a result of the Navajo Long Walk, the Hopis
were able to enjoy a short period of peace. In 1847,
Mormons founded Utah and tried to convert the
Indians to Mormonism.. Jacob Hamlin, a
Mormon
missionary, first made a trip into Hopi country in 1858. He was on
good terms with the Hopi Indians and in 1875 a
Mormon Church was built on Hopi land.
Education
In 1875,
an English trader by the name of Thomas Keams escorted the Hopi
village leaders to meet President
Arthur in Washington
D.C.
Lololoma, acting chief at the time, was very
impressed with Washington. He believed that education allowed the
whites to be able to live in such a way. This belief caused him to
want a school built for the Hopi children. In 1886, twenty of the
Hopi leaders signed a petition sent to the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs requesting that a school be
built on their land.
In 1887, Thomas Keams opened Keams Canyon
Boarding School at Keams
Canyon
for the Hopi Indians. The Oraibi people were
not supportive of this school. They refused to send their children
to a school that was 35 miles away from their villages. The main
objective of Keams School was to teach the Hopi youth the ways of
civilization by pushing
Anglo-American values on them. This
boarding school was a way to rid the Hopis of their Indian past.
The children were forced to abandon their tribal identity and
completely take on the white American culture. They received
haircuts, new clothes, took on a “white” name and learned English.
The boys learned farming and carpentry skills, while the girls were
taught ironing, sewing and “civilized” dining. Keams School also
reinforced American religions. The American Baptist Home Missionary
Society provided the students with services every morning and
religious teachings during the week. In 1890, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs arrived in Hopi
country with other government officials to investigate the progress
of the new school. They saw that few students were enrolled. They
later returned with federal troops who threatened to arrest the
Hopi parents if they refused to send their kids to school. The
parents backed down and the Commissioner took children to fill the
school.
Hopi Land
The Hopis have always viewed their land as sacred.
Agriculture is a very
important part of their culture and their villages are spread out
across the northern part Arizona
. The
Hopi and the
Navajos both never knew of land
boundaries, including state boundaries, and just lived on the land
that their ancestors did. The
Navajos have a
history of harassing the Hopis, occupying their land and wandering
freely over it. The
Navajos stole crops and
livestock from the Hopis and set up villages on Hopi land. On
December 16, 1882
President
Chester Arthur passed first executive order of 1882, creating a
reservation for the Hopi Indians. Their reservation was much
smaller than the
Navajo
reservation, which was the largest in the country. The
Hopi reservation is a perfect rectangle 55
by 70 miles, in the middle of the
Navajo Reservation and their villages
only take up about half of the land within their reservation. This
reservation kept white settlers from coming through their land, but
it did not protect the Hopis against the
Navajos. Significant amount of time has been spent
between the Hopi and the
Navajos fighting
over land. Eventually the Hopis went before the Committee of
Interior and Insular Affairs to ask them to help provide a solution
to the dispute between the two tribes. The tribes argued over
around 1.8 million acres of land in northern Arizona. In 1887 the
U.S Government passed the [[Dawes Allotment Act]. The purpose of
this Act was to divide up tribal land into privately owned
individual family plots of 640 acres or less. The remaining land
would be free for U.S citizens to purchase. For the Hopis, this Act
would destroy their ability to farm, which was their main means of
income. Fortunately the attempt of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs to set up
land allotments in the Southwest never resulted in the division of
Hopi land.
Oraibi Split
The history of the Oraibi split is one of the most famous about the
Hopi tribe. The chief of the Oraibi at this time, Lololoma, was
very excited about Hopi education but the Oraibi people were
divided on this issue. Most of the village was conservative and
refused to allow their children to attend school. These Indians
were referred to as the “hostiles” because they opposed the
American government and their attempts at assimilation. The rest of
the Oraibi Hopis were called the “friendlies” because of their
liberal attitude and acceptance of the white people. The
“hostiles,” unlike the “friendlies,” refused to let their children
attend school. In 1893, the Oraibi Day School was opened in the
Oraibi village. Even though this school was within the village, the
hostile parents still refused to allow their children to attend. In
1894, a group of Hopi parents announced that hey were against the
ideas of Washington and did not want their children to be exposed
to the culture of the White American people.
They also said that
this argument couldn’t be settled peacefully, so the government
sent in troops to arrest the nineteen parents and sent them to
Alcatraz
Prison
where they stayed for a year. Another main
Oraibi figure at this time, Lomahongyoma, competed with Lololoma
for leadership in the tribe and of the Hopi people. Eventually the
village split in 1906 after a battle between Hostiles and
Friendlies. The conservative Hostiles were forced to leave the
village and form their own village, called Hotevilla.
Hopi Recognition
At the turn of the century, the U.S Government put a policy into
effect that created day schools, missionaries, provided farming
assistants and physicians on every Indian reservation. This policy
required that every reservation set up its own Indian-police and
Tribal courts, and appoint a chief or leader who would represent
their tribe within the U.S Government. In 1910 in the Census for
Indians, the Hopi Tribe had a total of 2,000 members, which was the
highest in 20 years. The
Navajos at this
time had 22,500 members and have consistently increased in
population. During the early years of this century, only about 3%
of Hopis lived off the reservation. In 1924 Congress officially
declared
Native
Americans to be U.S citizens. The
Indian Reorganization Act helped
the Hopis to establish a constitution for their tribe and in 1936
also helped them to create their own Tribal Council. The Preamble
to the Hopi constitution states that they are a self-governing
tribe, focused on working together for peace and agreements between
villages in order to preserve the “good things of Hopi life.” The
Constitution consists of thirteen different “Articles” all with a
different topic of interest. The articles cover the topics of
territory, membership, and organization of their government with a
legislative,
executive and
judicial branch. The rest of the articles
discuss the twelve villages recognized by the tribe, lands,
elections, Bill of Rights and more.
Hopi-Navajo Land Disputes
From the 1940s to the 1970s, the
Navajo Indians kept moving their villages
closer and closer to Hopi land, causing the Hopis to once again
bring up the land issue with the U.S Government. This resulted in
the establishment of “District 6” which placed a boundary around
the Hopi villages on the first, second, and third mesas, thinning
the reservation to 501,501 acres. In 1962 the courts issued the
“Opinion, Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Judgment”
which stated that the U.S government did not grant the
Navajos any type of permission to reside on the
Hopi reservation that was declared
in 1882 and that the remaining Hopi land was to be shared with the
Navajos. Between 1961-1964, the Hopi tribal
council signed leases with the U.S Government that allowed for
companies to explore and drill for oil, gas and minerals within
Hopi country. This drilling brought over 3 million dollars to the
Hopi Tribe. In 1974, The Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act was passed
and begun the Navajo-Hopi Indian Relocation Commission that made
sure every Hopi and Navajo Indian living on the other’s land was to
be removed. In 1992, the
Hopi
Reservation was increased to 1.5 million acres.
Hopis Today
The Hopi tribe today receives most of its income from natural
resources. On their 1.8 million acre reservation, there is a
significant amount of coal mined yearly. Today tourism is very
prevalent and important to Hopi life. There is not much set up
specifically for tourists with the exception of their Cultural
Center and a few campgrounds. Through a grant-loan from the
Economic Development Administration and some of the tribe’s own
money, the Hopi tribal council constructed the Hopi Cultural Center
including a restaurant, motel, craft shops, museum on the Second
Mesa. Before arriving, tourists must know the laws and rules of the
Hopi reservation. Typically photography is prohibited, as well as
participating and viewing certain tribal ceremonies. The Hopi are a
relatively poor tribe and as of 1990, 45% of families fell below
poverty level. The Hopi Tribal Government provides 45% of jobs and
most individuals make their income from agriculture and livestock
products. Because the U.S Government holds Indian owned land
“in-trust,” the Hopi land cannot be taxed by any state, county,
city or other local governments. Although there have been
controversies regarding education in the past, today the Hopis
acknowledge that education is top priority for their children. The
tribe has realized the need to create funds for the education. In
2000, the Hopi Tribal council, through tribal law, created the Hopi
Education Endowment Fund. The HEEF, through funding, gives
financial assistance to Hopi students. The mission of the HEEF is
to make sure that every Hopi Indian, present and future, has a
chance to graduate high school and if they wish, continue on to a
higher education.
Culture
The 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" . 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.
The Hopi people
When a child is born, they receive a perfect ear of corn and a
special blanket. On the 20th day of their life, 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: an element, a quality, a natural
phenomenon, or 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.
