The Hopi are the westernmost of the Pueblo Indians whose
villages are an interesting part of the Southwestern scene. In
search of peace and security from aggressive, warlike neigh-
bors, ancestors of the present Hopi built their villages on high,
precipitous mesa tops in the colorful part of northern Arizona
called the Painted Desert. The Hopi people are known as
the "Peaceful People".

From the Underworld, the Promised Land, Different Clan
Migrations, their Encounter with Spain, Kachina or Christ,
Violence under Mexico, Pueblo Rebellion, Mormons and
