AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Based on the analysis of United States government census data for 1900 and 1910, McIntire examines the size of the total Hopi population from the late 1890s to the early 1910s, with a particular focus on the three villages of Hano, Sichimovi, and Walpi located on First Mesa. Although the author critiques some of the methods employed in the government census, his interpretation of the data has led him to conclude that contrary to previous assumptions, the Hopi population had begun to increase prior to 1910; that the new village of Hotevilla was not enumerated by the 1910 census, but probably had a population of about 450; and that the new villages at the foot of the mesas were already of considerable importance by 1910.
