	Hopi language, alphabet and pronunciation
		Hopi is a Uto-Aztecan language spoken by approximately 5,000 people in northeastern Arizona.
		Though there are relatively few speakers, the language is still being passed on to children, there is a comprehensive Hopi-English dictionary and a group called the Hopi Literacy Project are working to promote the language.
		Hopi has an interesting way of expressing concepts of time and space: for something that happens a long way from a speaker is described as having happened in the distant past.

	Hopi Religion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Hopi ceremonial practice is governed by the belief in the absolute interdependent relationship between the upper and lower worlds.
		Hopi traditional life has been further threatened by extensive coal mining on their land, which has led to the relocation of some Hopi and neighbouring Navajo communities and conflict between Hopis and the Navajo.
		Hopi pottery sometimes depicts a thunderbird (or rainbird), an image which reflects the central practice of calling for rain in Hopi religious ritual.

	The (Hopi) World According to Whorf -- The Orion Zone
		According to the linguistic work of Benjamin Lee Whorf, the Hopi language with its three tenses of present-past, future, and generalized is much better equipped to describe the vibratory and transformative phenomena of modern physics than is English.
		Whereas the English language imposes the two Newtonian universal forms of static, three dimensional space and perpetually flowing, one dimensional time, the Hopi language structures the world and the perception of it via their language in a completely different manner.
		Hopi language uses primarily verbs rather than nouns (as do the European languages) to describe metaphysical concepts in general and this mythical realm in particular, which in its own way is as mercurial as small particle physics.

		Society-HOPI According to Fewkes, Hopi is a contraction of Hopitu, meaning "peaceful ones," or Hopitu-shinumu, "peaceful all people." The name Moke (Moqui), which was frequently used to refer to the Hopi before the early twentieth century, is of disputed significance, but is never used by the Hopi themselves.

	Hopi Breath of Life
		Scholarly efforts to understand the Hopi concept of hikwsi were rather unilateral and led to the oversimplified conclusion that hikwsi is a Hopi linguistic equivalent for the soul.
		Christian missionaries have been active in Hopi country from the sixteenth century, and even though they were not very successful in converting the Hopi people to their system of belief, they introduced some non-Hopi elements into Hopi tradition.(13) As a result, much ethnographic data was affected by a Christian tradition (in Hopi: Tsiisastuptsiwni).
		To the Hopi, human beings can be equated metaphorically with corn plants.(18) Structural analogies between humans and corn plants are evident when parts of their bodies and stages of their developmental cycles are analyzed.

	fUSION Anomaly. Hopi
		The Hopi are noted for their sophisticated dry-farming techniques, a rich ceremonial life, and fine craftsmanship in basketry, pottery, silverwork, and weaving.
		The Hopi also have prophesied that "Turtle Island could turn over two or three times and the oceans could join hands and meet the sky." This seems to be a prophecy of a "pole shift" -- a flipping, of the planet on its axis.
		It is the dominant cultural mode of the Trobriander and of the Hopi Indian.

	What Whorf Really Said
		Steven Pinker's main goal in The Language Instinct, as the title suggests, was to argue for the innateness of language acquisition.
		He sees language to be "in some sense a superficial embroidery upon deeper processes of consciousness, which are necessary before communication..., and which also can, at a pinch, effect communication without language's and without symbolism's aid" (Whorf, pg.
		And in turn, language affects how we "cut up and organize the spread and flow of events as we do, largely because, through our mother tongue, we are parties to an agreement to do so, not because nature itself is segmented in exactly that way for all to see" (Whorf, pg.

	Goldsmith: Grammatical realism.
		"Hopi language and culture conceals a metaphysics, such as our so-called naive view of Space and time does, or as the relativity theory does; yet it is a different metaphysics from either.
		Another difference between European languages and Hopi is that in the former we find things having nothing in common such as tables, chairs, telephones on the one hand, and summer, beauty, love, on the other, all enjoying the same grammatical status of nouns.
		On the other hand, Hopi language emphasises the dualism that we tend to establish between the perception of data and the formulation of a hypothesis to explain them: what, in fact, can be referred to as the empiricist fallacy.

	The Hopi and Human Evolution
		"The Hopi conceive time and motion in the objective realm in a purely operational sense---a matter of the complexity and magnitude of operations connecting events---so that the element of time is not separated fromwhatever element of space enters into the operations." (Whorf BL (1956) Language, Thought and Reality.
		In Hopi there is no distinction in the simplex (bare-stem) forms between nouns and verbs, and sentences are possilbe in which there is no distinction in the sentence." (Whorf BL (1956) Language, Thought and Reality.
		Hopi dancing is highly symbolic and is performed with great intensity and earnestness, but has not much movement or swing." (Whorf BL (1956) Language, Thought and Reality.

	THE RELATION OF HABITUAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Language thus represents the mass mind; it is affected by inventions and innovations, but affected little and slowly, whereas TO inventors and innovators it legislates with the decree immediate.
		Hopi "duration" seems to be inconceivable in terms of space or motion, being the mode in which life differs from form, and consciousness in toto from the spatial elements, of consciousness.
		In Hopi there seems to be nothing corresponding to it; there are no formless extensional items; existence may or may not have form, but what it also has, with or without, form, is intensity and duration, these being nonextensional and at bottom the same.

		It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.
		In our language we can differentiate the word snow by using different distinctions such as fine snow, dry snow, powdered snow, but the Eskimos language is lexicalized or made by means of individual words.
		Such as the Northern Scandinavian language has many words for reindeer, and the Bedouin Arabic language has several lexical words to describe camels and horses in their vocabulary, This is because these objects are very important to the cultures.

	Hopi- struggle for tomorrow
		Hopi village life revolves around their religious calendar which divides the year based on the visits of the Kachinas.
		Only the Hopi and their pueblo relatives have esoteric manifestations called Kachinas within their culture, but it has become the practice of non-Hopi Indians, as well as Caucasian craftspersons, to try to "cash in" on the tribe's religious practices by creating imitation kachina dolls.
		The Hopi language was never taught in these schools, nor were the children allowed to speak in their native tongue.

	Language and Thought
		This statement and similar ones by Whorf, attempting to illustrate that language is the medium by which one views the world, culture, reality and thought have aroused an intense desire in not only scholars but also for non-scholars to validate of disprove this hypothesis.
		There are in the grammar observations that apply to all languages; these observations constitute what one calls general grammar.
		The theory of Universals, commonly attributed to Chomsky and generative grammar is the claim that there are deep structures that are common to all languages (Fishmann, 1976:13).

		What is known as the Hopi Way also centers on subsistence dry-farming unique to the Hopi people, many of whom reside in modest, sandstone houses in 12 villages clustered around three mesas on a vast and arid 1.6 million-acre reservation in the high desert of Northern Arizona.
		The only source of moisture for agriculture on Hopi is melting snow and infrequent, scattered rain showers that fall on tiny fields of corn, squash, beans and melon.
		The Hopi people have demanded that Peabody Energy, which manages a reservation mine, stop using the Navajo Aquifer to slurry coal by a water pipeline to the Mohave Generating Station 273 miles away in Laughlin, Nev. The aquifer is our only source of water for drinking and ceremonies.

	Quotations from LANGUAGE, THOUGHT, AND REALITY by Benjamin Lee Whorf
		I find it gratuitous to assume that a Hopi who knows only the Hopi language and the cultural ideas of his own society has the same notions, often supposed to be intuitions, of time and space that we have, and that are generally assumed to be universal.
		In [the] Hopi view, time disappears and space is altered, so that it is no longer the homogeneous and isntantaneous timeless space of our supposed intuition or of classical Newtonian mechanics.
		Every language is a vast pattern-system, different from others, in which are culturally ordained the forms and categories by which the personality not only communicates, but also analyzes nature, notices or neglects types of relationship and phenomena, channels his reasoning, and builds the house of his consciousness.
