Description
This source is a general study of Hopi economic life based on the study of two Second Mesa villages - Mishongnovi and Shipaulovi. The field work was done by the author in the summers of 1932 and 1934. In addition to the detailed data on various aspects of the Hopi economy (e. g., food gathering, agriculture, etc.), there is a great deal of other information to be found here relevant to household organization, kin and clan, property, foods and food preparation, crafts, house building, labor organization, and the distribution of wealth through ceremony and exchange.
