The southwest region receives only a small amount
of rain, so the area is extremely dry.

Because there is so little precipitation, there are very few trees.

Much of the region is low, flat desert
with some high plateaus and mesas.

The desert does get some rain, but most of the water came from the snow in the surrounding mountains. In the spring, the melting snow feeds into rivers that run into the desert.

The Hopi were farmers, who grew beans, squash, and corn.

Corn was the staple for the Hopi, part of every meal. They grew enough corn for the year and kept it in storage rooms in their pueblos. A staple is a main crop that is used for food.

The lack of rain made agriculture difficult. The Southwest Native Americans had to get water to their crops. Irrigation is a way of supplying water to crops with streams, ditches, or pipes.

Some groups dug long, narrow ditches from the rivers to their fields, so the water would flow from the stream to their crops.

The Hopi planted seeds deep in the
ground so the roots would get more
moisture.
They planted crops in lower areas that flooded
during the spring.

Water collects in the lower areas just like puddles on the playground. This area would take longer to dry out so
the plants would get more water. Crops are planted in lower area.

The dry climate of the Southwest desert meant few trees. To build
their homes, they used sticks, stones, and a clay called adobe.

They often built their homes on tops of steep mesas, which are small plateaus with steep sides and flat tops.

The Hopi are part of the group known as Pueblo Indians. Pueblo means town in Spanish. The large buildings looked like towns
to the Spanish explorers who came to North America.

The Hopi made containers to store food and water. They dug clay and shaped it into pots. The Hopi were some of the first people to fire their pottery
with coal, which made it stronger and harder.

The Hopi were very religious. They believed they were the caretakers of the land, and they had to keep the land healthy. If the land was healthy, they would have good
harvests and enough rainfall.

To take care of the land, they prayed and had ceremonies. A ceremony is a special event at which people gather to express important beliefs.

The Hopi often dressed in costumes and masks for their ceremonies. At the Bean Dance ceremony,
the Hopi danced and prayed for a good harvest.

Young girls wore their hair in elaborate butterfly twists called Squash Blossoms.
After marriage, women would wear their hair down, in two long twisted pig tails.

The Hopi carved figures called Kachinas. Kachinas are often called dolls, but they are religious symbols (not toys)
that represent the spirits.
