  1. The Desert Southwest Indians

  2. The Pueblo Peoples • Tribes like the Hopi are grouped as “The Pueblo Peoples” because most of these people lived in pueblos. • Pueblos were made of adobe (mix of clay and sand), or stone and mud. • The homes were only used for sleeping or bad weather shelter– all other activities were usually done outside.

  3. Southwest Agriculture • Corn was the main food of the Hopi Tribe (beans and squash were important too) • The Hopi also grew cotton to make blankets and clothes. • Cotton needs hot weather in order to grow! • Water for these crops either came from rain (barely any!) or irrigation. • Men worked in the crops, women ground corn into meal.

  4. The Hopi Culture • The Hopi people believed in gods of the sun, rain and Earth. • Spirits called kachinas were an important part of their religion. • The Hopis believed kachinas visit the living once a year and enter the bodies of kachina dancers (men from the tribe all dressed up).
