Hopi

Hopi is a Native American tribe who mainly live on the 1.5 million acre Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. The reservation is surrounded by the Navaho reservation.

A few Hopi live on the Colorado River Reservation, on the Colorado River in western Arizona, for information, see Mohave.

The traditional Hopi are organized into clans. When a man marries he becomes a member of his wife's clan. The Bear Clan is the most prominent clan. Tom Banyanca[?], now deceased, a member of the Bear Clan, was designated to transmit the Hopi Prophecy[?] to the outside world. The Spider Clan, who are linked with the infamous and evil Spider Woman, were a very low status clan.

It has been reported (in the New York Times) that the young people of Hopi are mad about Reggae and that concerts are frequently held there.
