Hopi land

About an hour's drive east of the Grand Canyon is the Hopi Indian Reservation. This is high desert country; at over 6,000 feet in elevation, winters are cold and include snow.

Hopi land is totally surrounded by Navajo land; there are long-standing conflicts between the two groups about land and boundaries. And within both groups, there are long-standing conflicts between those who are open to the modern American culture and conveniences, and those who are committed to the old ways. For instance, many Hopis would not be happy about my turning their land into the shape of a cross.

Put this cross on a mug!
