Here are some good sites to learn about the Hopi Culture.

 

 On the Hopi reservation there are three mesa's.  They are known as the 1st   Mesa, 2nd Mesa, and 3rd Mesa.      There are different villages on all of three mesa's.

Here is a picture of the village of Oraibi on the third Mesa.

Map of the Hopi Reservation

 
  All of the Hopi Villages are located on top or at the foot of the three mesas. One of the most popular villages is Oraibi.  It is located on the western-most area of the Hopi mesas.  It is the oldest continuously inhabited pueblo in the Southwest. 

  We visited the village of Hotevilla.  We watched a couple of ceremonial dances and ate some of the Hopi food.

  The village of Kykotsmovi is also a popular village because that is where the Hopi Tribal Council meats.  It is also known as "The Seat of the Government for the Hopi Nation."

Another good village to visit is Walpi.  It is located on the far southwest end of the 1st Mesa.  It is almost 1,000 years old and is one of the three oldest inhabited villages in North America.
