Location-Mesa Verde region. Which is now Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Style of homes-The Hopi were a stationary tribe and made their houses out of stone, adobe, and wood. They have flat roofs and are one or more stories tall. These structures are called Pueblos.

Important products-They harvested squash, beans, and their most important crop, corn. They also grew cotton and produced beautiful pottery.

Organization of government-A party made up of heads of religious societies.

Culture of the tribe-The women did most of the farming, while the men did most of the hunting. Women would gather wild plants to eat and the men would go on rabbit hunts. The Hopi practiced the kachina religion which states that there are hundreds of divine beings in between humans and God. They also carried around corn pollen, which was thought to ward off evil spirits and to maintain good health and fortune.

Ways the tribe altered their enviroment-They irrigated the fields in river bottoms which they later used to produce corn and cotton.

Tribe's relations with others tribes-The Pueblos traded and fought with the Navajos and Comanches. Two other enemies were the Apache and Utetribes tribes.

Tribe's relation with European explorers-In the 1500's, the Spanish settled in New Mexico which threatened the Pueblo's lives. Within 100 years of their arrival, half of the Hopi population was dead by disease or violence. In 1684 the Hopi succesfully drove out the Spanish, this was called the Pueblo revolt. However, in 1696 the Spanish came back and controlled much of the Southwest for 129 years.

What makes this tribe unique and worth knowing-They are unique because of the houses that they built. This style of house was far more advanced architecturally than any other tribe. They are worth knowing because they are still around today and revolted the Spanish in 1682.
