Hopi means, ‘peaceful person,’” explains historian Janet Chaca. “And our tribe is known for being experts in agriculture as well as the oldest of the native people.”
The Hopi tribe is a sovereign nation consisting of 12 villages built on three mountain plateaus located in northeastern Arizona.
Hopi artisans create Kachina dolls that represent the spirits of animals, gods, and natural elements that use their powers for the good and well-being of the Hopi people.
