  6. Pueblo Indians • Pueblo Indians were thought to be descended from the Anasazi Indians. (Four Corners) • Their housing customs look like today’s apartment buildings, rising several stories off the ground.

  7. Hopi • Hopi men governed their villages, but the women owned all the property and passed it down to their daughters. • They would build their houses on top of Mesas to protect them from evil.

  8. RAIN!!! • The Pueblo’s needed rain to survive their harsh, dry region. • They believed that beings called kachinas could bring this rain. • Hopi Dance (Rain Dance)

  9. The Hopi Today • They continue to live on their traditions. • There are more than 7,000 Hopi on a reservation in northeast Arizona. • They still have many of the same customs, but are beginning to incorporate more modern ways, too.
