Hopi Reservation CENTRL Regional Connection (CRC) (Thu, October 08, 2026)

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 22:00:00 GMT

CENTRL Regional Connection
Hopi Nation Second Mesa, AZ

Thursday October 8 - Friday October 9

We are excited to take a closer look into the rich history and vibrant community of the Hopi Tribe. The Hopi are considered to be the “oldest tribe of the Four Corners Region” and have a current total population of 14,580. The Hopi Reservation encompasses approximately 1.5 million acres with an elevation of 7,200 feet, offering panoramic views of the surrounding low-altitude desert. Hopi is a tight-knit community that is bound together by clan relations. Today there are 34 living clans spread out among the 12 Hopi villages. The clan system stems from individuals who trace their ancestry matrilineally back to a common ancestor. Clans that mythically or historically migrated together since their emergence into this “Fourth world” formed a phratry that often work together to perform both social and ceremonial functions, duties, and responsibilities within the village. Each village is self-governing and autonomous, and members of the Hopi tribe often identify themselves by their village and clan affiliations. Have we piqued your interest yet?

Join us in Second Mesa, AZ October 8 & 9, 2026 to learn more about this sovereign nation. This is an exclusive opportunity for participants to learn about the history of Hopi and its community members and to foster understanding of Hopi culture, traditions, and lifestyles, particularly in farming and ranching.
