Projects Involved In
Hopi Oral History Project has recorded over fifty interviews on a variety of topics such as Hopi Tribal Council history as well as day school and boarding school experiences, the 1930s livestock reductions, and other accounts of historical events and customs. Interviews are recorded in Hopi, helping to preserve the language. The project will lead to a record of Hopi history and cultural traditions from the Hopi perspective.
Black Mesa EIS Study and U.S. 160 EIS Study: these projects consist of documenting traditional cultural properties relevant to the U.S. 160 Highway corridor. Documentation includes areas used by Hopi clans and religious societies, shrines, springs, trails, farm fields, ancestral sites, and named places. These historic properties are important elements in the Hopi cultural landscape.
