Hopi Iconography Project Icon
Goals

The Goals of the Hopi Iconography Project include:

  • Interdisciplinary and collaborative studies of Hopi ancestral "footprints," including pottery, architecture, tools, petroglyphs, rock paintings, and mural paintings.
  • Create a traveling museum exhibit called "Siitala: Life in Balance, World in Bloom," to open at the Museum of Northern Arizona in 2008 or 2009. The exhibit's content and themes will capture Hopi experience, perspectives, and interests, emphasizing cultural continuity, migrations, and ancestral "footprints," cultural landscapes, traditional ecological knowledge, and expression of Hopi values and aesthetics in the cultural arts of pottery, basketry, textiles, painting, carving, jewelry, and other media.
  • Visual repatriation: compile images of Hopi pottery and mural paintings in museum collections throughout the nation and make them available for study.
  • To work with Hopi and non-Hopi educators to provide curriculum materials about Hopi lifeways, language, history, philosophy, and traditional ecological knowledge to Hopi students and other public schools, in collaboration with the Hopi Footprints Project, a collaborative K-12 educational program of the Hopi Tribe and Northern Arizona University.
  • Produce publications for both popular and scholarly audiences.
  • Identify and secure appropriate financial resources, such as grants and donations to create a traveling exhibit, publications, and curriculum materials.
