THE HOPI Tribe

The Hopi Tribe is a sovereign nation located in northeastern Arizona. The reservation occupies part of Coconino and Navajo counties, and is made up of 12 villages on three mesas.

Red Feather's Impact

Red Feather has been working with the beautiful people of the Hopi Tribe since 2005.  We have built straw bale houses, weatherized existing homes, repaired numerous dwellings and educated hundreds of Reservation residents with Do It Yourself workshops benefitting women, veterans and young people. ​

Tribal History

The Hopi people established the Hopi Tribal Council in 1936,  which consists of 14 representatives from the villages of Upper Moenkopi, Bacavi, Kykotsmovi and Mishongnovi. Currently, the villages of Sipaulovi, Shungopavi, Oraibi, Hotevilla, Lower Moenkopi and First Mesa Consolidated Villages (Walpi, Shitchumovi and Tewa).  Representatives to the council are selected either by a community election or by an appointment from the village kikmongwi, or leader.

Quick Facts

  • 2,531 square miles or approximately 1.5 million acres
  • 18,321 enrolled tribal members with 8,284 tribal members living on the reservation
  • The median household income is $13,000 with unemployment rates at 70%
  • More than 40% of tribal homes are considered overcrowded to severely overcrowded.  
  • 28% of homes lack complete indoor plumbing

Since time immemorial the Hopi people have lived in Hopitutskwa and have maintained a sacred covenant with Maasaw, the ancient caretaker of the earth, to live as peaceful and humble farmers -- respectful of the land and its resources. Over the centuries the Hopi have survived as a tribe, and to this day have managed to retain their culture, language and religion despite influences from the outside world.
