Navajo Transmission Project EIS: Hopi Ethnographic Overview
Summary
This report was prepared by the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office and the Institute of the NorthAmerican West to provide an ethnographic overview of Hopi land use and cultural concerns relevant to the Navajo Transmission Project (NTP). The NTP is a 500 kilovolt transmission line being proposed by the Dine Power Authority of the Navajo Nation and the Salt Lake City Area Office of the Western Area Power Administration, a Federal agency in the Department of Energy. The proposed transmission line will begin near Farmington in northwest New Mexico and end about 32 km south of Las Vegas in southeast Nevada.
This ethnographic overview is based primarily on archival and library research. Hopi ethnography pertinent to the NTP is reviewed to place Hopi cultural resources in a broad social and cultural context. Topics considered in the regional overview include Hopi religion, culture, and philosophy of environment; the importance of the Hopi Tutsqwa (land); Hopi ancestral archaeology; and historic Hopi land use.
