AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is a detailed study of the transformation of Moenkopi Pueblo since 1870s from a summer farming colony of Oraibi to an independent community undergoing modernization and integration into the larger non-Hopi world. Based on fieldwork in Moenkopi and extensive use of documentary materials, the author defines the characteristics that have distinguished Moenkopi from other Hopi villages throughout its history and discusses the natural environment of the Moenkopi area and the federal and local dimensions of reservation life at Moenkopi. In the central part of this study the author describes and analyzes changes in political, economic, and kinship organization at Moenkopi, the interaction of the Hopi at Moenkopi with surrounding Navajo tribe, and economic and social integration of Moenkopi residents into the larger White society. A central theme throughout this study concerns factionalism within Moenkopi and the division of the community into Upper and Lower parts and the implications of this for local socio-economic change, acculturation, and integration into the larger society.
