Hopi, Indigenous reservation in northeastern Arizona, United States.
Description
Hopi is a reservation spanning three mesas in northeastern Arizona, containing twelve villages within Coconino and Navajo counties. The land is home to and governed by the Hopi Nation, with Walpi serving as one of the more accessible villages for visitors.
History
The reservation was established in 1882 and gained formal governance through the Hopi Tribal Council constitution adopted in 1936. This framework helped establish the nation's authority over its own affairs.
Culture
The Hopi maintain their art traditions across the three mesas, with pottery and paintings created on First Mesa and textiles plus woven baskets produced on Second and Third Mesa. These crafts remain deeply tied to daily life and community ceremonies.
Practical
Visits to the reservation typically require guides, especially for Walpi, to ensure respectful interaction with the land and its residents. Plan ahead and learn about local guidelines, as access to some areas is restricted.
Did you know?
The reservation does not observe daylight saving time and maintains Mountain Standard Time year-round, while surrounding regions follow different schedules. This means the local time differs from neighboring areas depending on the season, which can affect travel planning.
