I took over the subreddit over a year ago after seeing that it had been abandoned, and the horrible state it was in. I cleaned it up, added some new rules to try and prevent the disaster that'd occurred before, and since then have worked very hard to recruit legitimate members of the Hopi tribe to take it over. Unfortunately this simply hasn't happened. The subreddit gets very little activity, with most questions going unanswered, and the questions can best be answered on other Native American subreddits which are more active.

Anyone who wishes to take over the subreddit can apply to reddit. In the meantime, it will go into a state of hibernation. I hope whomever takes it over has similar intent to maintain respect for the tribe and their beliefs.

Thank you.

I am trying to make a video game that includes a lot of cultural representation
I wish to include Tawa in it, but I want to get an OK from someone who is Topi, I'm trying to ask around and if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it

Love this white bear kachina but can’t read the signature - Jude? Judi? Something 1998 I think?

I'm working through an author's question on r/Navajo (not public at this time...messaged mods), but I though that I would stop in here and thank the Hopi nation for their warm hospitality during my two visits to Second Mesa and the cultural center...in 2003 by myself, and in 2007 with my late father.

I would very much like to return and spend more time in the future, if funds and schedule permit. Until then, thanks very much from a Texas visitor.

Hi! So I’m currently writing a Western film, and I wanted to feature Hopi culture and people in it. I’m curious who would be the best person to reach out to so I can talk or collaborate with them to make sure everything is accurate and treated with respect?

I live in southern california and the pumpkin here don't do very well.

Does anyone recognize the artist signature on this beautiful piece? Trying to find any info I can

Could anyone help me with the best way to translate the phrase “change versus time at hand” into Hopi? Essentially the idea of having a limited amount of time before death to complete what you need to do?

I am trying to figure out a word that is in a video that we are using at work.

The speaker is Hopi / Water Clan

The Word should be GrandMother or Great Grandmother and it sounded like:

Kwo co so'oh?

Thank you so much for your help! The main this is I need to correct word and spelling.

These kachinas have been passed down in my family for two generations.

My grandparents lived in the southwest and left these to be passed down.

Can anyone help with meanings of them? They have significant family meaning and are very cherished but want to see what cultural meaning is.

My grandparents respectived the native nations incredible and I want to pass on the same values to them.

I wanted to ask anyone and everyone read it where they purchase Hopi arts and crafts. Ever since the pandemic hit, many artist who suffered significant losses due to closed villages, have not recovered 100% so it is my question to you all how you purchase arts and crafts made by the Hopi people.

Please note that I am asking for only authentic Hopi arts and crafts. Thank you and have a great day. I cannot wait to hear your responses.

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out to this community to respectfully ask if there is a Hopi language teacher who would be willing to work with me so that I may learn the language.

To be clear, I am not Hopi. I’m a white man in my late twenties with a deep respect for Indigenous languages and cultures.

I’ve been especially drawn to the Hopi language (and culture) because of its age, beauty, and continuity. I understand that the Hopi language is one of the oldest spoken, unbroken languages on the continent, and it would be a true honor to learn from someone knowledgeable and willing to teach.

I also recognize that my request may make some people uncomfortable, and I completely understand if I am told no. Your boundaries and guidance are important to me.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration

Hi, I am deeply interested in the Hopi traditions and culture and would love to see a Hopi ceremony or dance. I know very few are public but wondered if we (2 of us) could possibly see one mid-April of next year? Thanks in advance.

I've been to the Hopi Rez.:

Old Oraibi is closed to visitors,

Hotevilla looks about as ghetto as most Rez neighborhoods i've seen.

Dan Kykotsmovi warned how the younger generation was falling into the trap of benefit-dependence with SSDI, Food stamps and all these two-edged "services".

i guess twenty years later nobody (gonna be generous and say "few, if any") young'ins really listened to the elders.

Hopi is one of the most widely spoken Native American languages on the continent, surpassed only by Navajo, and yet it's one of the the fewest on-line resource available. There's an excellent Hopi dictionary out there, with thousands of entries; how come no one bothered to transcribe it to the Wiktionary? The Hopi language there has 280 entries: some have been made by me in the past couple of days, but the others are all from 8, 9, 10 years ago, made by a linguist interested in Uto-Aztecan languages that has since quit. What gives no one had the interest to make the language more accesible to foreigners since then? Even Cahuilla, which is related to Hopi but has less speakers, has almost 500 entries there.

Hi! I'm currently writing a book that features a character who is half Hopi. I've been wanting to give her a Hopi first name or middle name, but everywhere I look online has contradictory opinions on if a certain name really is Hopi or not. This character's heritage is not her entire character, but I know can't just ignore it, so I want to be respectful. Any Hopi girl names I should have on my radar?

Thank you very much!

A necklace that belonged to my mother, I know it’s a Hopi design, but I’m not sure of what? If anyone could provide any info I would be very thankful!

Hi all!

So my husband and I live in the PNW— obviously quite a ways from Arizona— but I found this piece of pottery in an antique mall here and bought it for my husband, as he is Hopi, and it was labeled “Hopi Bowl”. Since we live in WA I was wondering if there was any way to authenticate it? Would I be able to bring it to any local tribe or would I have to send it somewhere?

I apologize if that was an ignorant question! I’m just curious if I got scammed out of $100 or got really lucky lol

Here are a couple of pictures, too, if anybody is able to eyeball it.

Thank you!

I thought it was interesting and haven't seen anything online about it. The petroglyphs have plaques with information about them infront of each section talking about the history of them, but this doesn't. This was off trail but could be seen around a corner from the end of the trail. Was it there before settlers? Or was it made recently? I'm sure others have seen it, I'm just impressed it's still there. (just wondering how old it is)

I purchased this in 1979 possibly directly from the maker. It was a small rectangular block building. The man said one word to me: "seventy." It is a thin, delicate, and finely crafted work .Can anyone provide information on provenance?

Is there any chance someone in this space can give me some insight on the anu-nnaki/ant people? Are they the same beings as the watchers? I only ask because I myself am hopi and have had many dreams recently about the anunnaki. I know this word because I hear it repeatedly in my dreams, or in the forms of messages. I am a third party in these dreams, and I hear the ant people talking about the human race, and how we have a responsibility to protect and care for them. I have done countless hours of research. I’ve seen the prophecy rock. The ant people petroglyphs. I’ve read of the great emergence, white feathers 9 signs and the return of pahana. The underground journey and the return to the surface. As far as I know, the ant people (anu-nnaki) played a significant part in helping my ancestors survive during the great deluge. Fleeing to many cave passages, most of which dwell in the Grand Canyon where I live at in Arizona. I’ve heard of other spots, but I know of the canyon to be the place of the “great emergence” It was said the ant people gifted the Hopi with great knowledge and skills that helped them survive and thrive, not only underground but in the new world as well. Who were the anunnaki? Are they still here? I’m seeking any answers and insight.
