Abstract
This is a brief summary on the social organization of the Hopi, with particular emphasis on community clusters, clan-phratries, households and lineages, ceremonial societies, and kinship. A concluding synonymy presents much valuable information on both variations in the name for the Hopi people as well as in the names of the individual settlements on the First, Second and Third Mesas.
