    5. Foods The main Hopi food is corn. It is considered sacred. Hopis also tend to other crops such as beans, squash, melons, pumpkins, and peaches.

    6. Clothing Hopi Indians did not wear much because of the warm climate in their area. Hopi people wove clothing a lot. Girls wore special dresses during sacred ceremonies. Modern day Hopis wear dresses that they wove or bought.

    7. Shelter/Homes Hopi homes were made of adobe clay. They did not have any doors or windows on the bottom floor to prevent break-ins. Instead, they had a ladder leading up to a hole in the roof, which they climbed through. Once inside, they pull up the ladder so their home is like a fort.

    8. Transportation Most Hopis walk if it is a short trip around the village. If they were making a long-term trip, they would ride horseback.
