many beliefs about life, and the way that one
should live. Some people may see the Hopi as
ethnocentric. I argue that ethnocentrism is not
the driving force of the Hopi, but their culture
and heritage has shaped them to be the proud
people they are. In this paper I plan to examine
the Hopi people, some of their unusual beliefs,
and the prophecy that leads the Hopi nation to
live in the way of the Hopi. Hopi Indians refer to
themselves as Hopi - The ...
