Title: The Hopi and Navajo Indians


1
The Hopi and Navajo Indians!
  • By Devon, Kennedy, Jake, and Derek

2
Hopi Indian location
  • Northeastern Arizona, surrounded by The Navaho
  •  They also lived in New Mexico

3
The Hopi Indians
  • According to legend, the ancestors of the Hopi
    tribe migrated from various locations and settled
    near the Grand Canyon. Legend also portrays a
    peaceful people, willing to cooperate with others
    to improve their life.  Classified as Pueblo
    Indians they most likely descended from the
    Anasazi. The Hopi were the only Pueblo Indians
    that spoke a dialect of the Uto-Aztecan language
    family called Shoshone. 

4
Navajo Indian location
  • Window Rock, Arizona, the Navajo Nation capital.

5
Hopi homes
  • They lived in pueblos
  • The Hopi Indians, which means good, peaceful, or
    wise, come from a group of Southwestern people
    called Pueblo, but their language is different. 
    They live in northeast Arizona at the southern
    end of the Black Mesa.  A mesa is the name given
    to a small isolated flat-topped hill with three
    steep sides called the 1st Mesa, 2nd Mesa, and
    the 3rd Mesa.  On the mesa tops are the Hopi
    villages called pueblos.  The pueblo of Oraibi on
    the 3rd Mesa started in 1050, and is the oldest
    in North America that was lived in continuously. 
    They live in pueblos that are made of stone and
    mud and stand several stories high.

Navajo homes
  • The Navajo Indians lived in homes called hogans. 
    They are made from wooden poles, tree bark, and
    mud.  The doorway opened to the east so they
    could welcome the sun.

Hopi Indian clothes
  • Men wore a straight sleeved or sleeveless shirt
    of undyed, native cotton, worn like a poncho
    knitted cotton leggings reaching half way up the
    thighs cotton loin cloth and moccasins of
    deerskin. Women wore an undyed cotton robe, which
    passed under the left arm and was fastened above
    the right shoulder and an embroidered belt.

10
Navajo Indian clothes
  • The Navajo woman's traditional style of dress
    consists usually of foot or knee-high moccasins,
    a pleated velvet or cotton skirt, a matching
    long-sleeve blouse, concho and/or sash belt,
    jewelry and a shawl. Men also wear jewelry,
    moccasins and preferably a velveteen shirt.
  • Although many Navajo people wear contemporary
    clothing, they continue to carry on their
    cultural practices by wearing traditional outfits
    when the occasion requires it. It is believed
    that before an individual can receive help from
    the Great Spirit, one must first wear appropriate
    clothing in order to be recognized. The earliest
    clothing worn by Navajos was made from grass and
    yucca plants. Later, shirts, dresses, and
    leggings were made from buckskin acquired in
    trade with the Utes of Colorado.

11
The Navajo Indians
  • The Anasazis habitually constructed their pueblo
    dwellings on the top of mesas. A typical example
    of an Anasazi mesa-top village is Pueblo Bonito
    located in Chaco Canyon New Mexico.

Farming
  • . The Navajo Indians were great farmers. Thats
    why they moved to the south because it was warmer
    there and they could grow more food. The Navajo
    Indians weaved there clothes. The Navajo Indians
    made pottery and blankets. When the Spanish
    settled the Navajo stole their sheep and horses
    and used the sheep for food and clothing. They
    used the horses for transportation. The Navajo
    Indians hunted mammoths until them became
    instinct After that they hunted Buffalo also
    known as Bison. They used the bones for weapons.

13
Food of the Navajo Indians
  • The Navajo Indians herded sheep and ate them and
    used their wool for clothing. The very first
    Southwest Native Americans hunted mammoths until
    they became extinct.  Then people began to hunt
    buffalo, also known as bison, as well as collect
    wild plants for food.  They also learned to grow
    maize, or corn, that was their most common grain,
    which became domesticated in Mexico.

14
Hopi Recreation/ Crafts
  • The Hopi tribe made many crafts. They made
    baskets, cloths, and jewelry. The men made the
    cloths for there family. Women also made
    pottery.

15

Hopi Culture
  • The Hopi have many religious ceremonies. They
    had a under ground religious room called a kiva
    to hold service, just like their cousins the
    Anasazi. They also had dolls called Kachinas to
    teach the children about each spirits powers.
    These dolls were not for playing they were for
    learning. Sometimes the Hopi would even have a
    sacred dance that was supposed to have made the
    rain come.

16

Navajo Recreation/Crafts
  • After the Navajo came in contact with the Pueblo
    people, they began to make pottery and weave
    rugs, blankets and other items. The men were
    great silver men, usually making jewelry.

17

Navajos Culture
  • When the Navajos -or dine as they called
    themselves - needed healing they called upon a
    medicine man- they called him a singer. The
    singer would make a mixture out of pollen,
    cornmeal, ground charcoal, and colorful powdered
    minerals. Then they would use the mixture to make
    a religious painting. Then the singer would make
    the ill villager sit on the painting so the gods
    could heal him. When the service was over theyd
    destroy the painting.
