Decision-Making
Each village was autonomous and determined its social and ceremonial organization according to its own interpretation of clan migration traditions.[1] Households confederated into clans, clans into phatries, phatries into villages and villages into Mesas. There are thirteen villages and three Mesas.[2]

Violence and crime was extremely rare in Hopi society.[3] Peter Gelderloos describes an interesting system of restorative justice:
Economy

Collapse
The US government destroyed Hopi autonomy in 1890, as the Dawes Act forcibly imposed private property onto their lands.[4] In 1934, the US forced a tribal government onto them made up of religious converts, who leased their lands to mining companies who profited from coal, natural gas and metal extraction. This dispossessed the Hopi and polluted the land.[5]
