Society • In the Hopi society the men choose their wife. One of the rules that they must follow by is that you can not marry within the same clan. When the husband or wife were married the only time they would wear their wedding clothes would be when they are being buried in the sitting position with their head between their legs.

poems • Hopi Indian Prayer • Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn's rain. • When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,I am the soft stars that shine at night. • Do not stand at my grave and cry: I am not there, I did not die
Housing • The Hopi and Pueblos live in Pueblos that are made of stone and mud. They are built at a high level. They had ladders leading to the upper level. • The kivas are underground and they use them for religious reasons. In this there is a fire pit in the middle of the floor.
