Hopi-Tewa (Native Americans of the Southwest)

The Hopi-Tewa are a small group (roughly 700) of Native Americans living mostly on the Hopi Reservation. These Indians are descended from immigrants who settled at First Mesa (Tewa Village [Hano] and Polacca) following the Pueblo rebellion, around 1700. They speak a variety of Tewa, a Tanoan language, and have some distinct cultural attributes.
