Hopi

Is there Still Hopi left in the World or are we doomed? Throughout history there have been many Native American tribes each impacting our societies differently, some have been violent in nature while others much more peaceful. The Hopi tribe were considered to be Pueblo people, and both were descendants of the ancient Anasazi civilization. “Hopi tribes spoke Uto-Aztecan, which was more closely related to Nahuatl than to the languages of the other Southwestern pueblos.

One example, called the Kunz Axe, was carved out of a small, portable piece of jade. This type of figure is called a “were-jaguar,” a composite creature typically depicted as a human baby with feline eyes and a mouth.

The art of oral tradition, or historical storytelling, has been the main resource for the continuous education of…

Corbin Contreras Inuit Article I agree with what article says. The food that we eat has an impact on cancer. Grass has a high component of cancer fighting nitrilosides. If the animals we eat for protein, eat grass then we have an opportunity to benefit of the grass. There is a possibility that if we raise our animals a different way then we might not have a risk of cancer. As long as we have balanced diets we won’t have to worry about the chance of getting cancer or getting sick. Something’s in…

beliefs of how humans came to be on earth. I am Catholic, so I believe that one God created humans on the seventh day of creation. I looked at the beliefs of a tribe called the Hopi and their beliefs are vastly different than mine. The Hopi believed in many gods and they came from the underworld.
