A
few Hopi live on the Colorado River Indian Reservation, on the
Colorado River in western Arizona; for information, see Mohave.
The
traditional Hopi are organized into matrilineal clans. When a man
marries, the children from the relationship are members of his
wife's clan. The Bear Clan is one of the more prominent clans.
The
Hopi, more than most Native American peoples, retain and continue
to practice their traditional ceremonial culture. However, like
other tribes, they are severely impacted by the ambient American
culture. Traditionally the Hopi were highly skilled subsistence
farmers. With the installation of electricity and the necessity
of having a motor vehicle and the other things which can be
purchased, the Hopi have been moving into a cash economy with
many people seeking and holding outside jobs as well as earning
money from traditional crafts.
