Summary

THE HOPI TRIBE and Anthropological Research, LLC, collaborated on an ethnographic study of the Navajo Generating Station and proposed Kayenta Mine Complex (NGS-KMC), and associated facilities. The study area is within the traditional homeland of the Hopi people, and a portion of it is within the Hopi Indian Reservation. Numerous Hopi clans have migration histories that situate them historically and spiritually within the study area, and ongoing cultural beliefs and practices continue to connect the Hopi people with this landscape. The Hopi people thus consider the NGS-KMC study area to be a meaningful landscape that merits protection and preservation.
