HE Hopi' Indians are a minority group in great area of Indian country in northeastern Arizona overlapping into three neighboring states and known as the Navajo country. It includes a block of contiguous Indian reservations of 22,400 square miles, with about 35,000 Indians, of whom majority are Navajos, and less than 6oo whites, who are government employees, traders, or missionaries. The Hopis number only 2800; but, in spite of their small numbers, they perhaps challenge more popular interest than any other Indian group. The interest in Hopis centers largely about snake dance, which has attracted more attention than any other Indian dance or ceremonial, and is reinforced by their picturesque pueblo houses perched high on steep-walled mesas rising hundreds of feet above valley floors and reached only by steep trails or more lately by difficult and precarious roadways
