How do the Navajo differ from the hopi?

Answer 1

It is thought that the Navajo learned to grow corn beans and squash from the Hopi and other Pueblo people and from their ancestors, the Anasazi. Corn has been central to Navajo life for as long as they have been Navajo and not like other southern Athabascan peoples. It is also thought that Navajo learned to weave cotton from the Hopi and the same other groups. Among the Hopi men are weavers and among the Navajo mostly women weave. The Navajo then adapted this to weaving wool after the late 1500s and elaborated the designs to reflect Navajo philosophy. By the 1700s their weaving was famous and valued with tribes far away in the northern Great Plains

Answer 2

1. Actually, The Pueblo Indians taught The Navajo how to harvest corn and beans, how to build their homes, religious matters, and a lot more things. The Hopi and Navajo Indians got along, but the Hopi didn't teach them much.

Answer 3

The Navajo and Hopi are different in many ways. Their languages are not just different but in completely different families like English and Arabic. The way they live is also very different. The Hopi live in compact villages and the Navajo live spread out in family groups distant from each other. The Navajos closest relatives, the Apache, were much more mobile than the Navajo. It is assumed that in the early days (900 years or more ago) the Navajo were more like them.

However, the Navajo have clearly learned from and borrowed cultural ideas from the Hopi. The Navajo probably got agriculture from the Hopi and grow, corn, beans and squash. They may have raised turkeys as the early Pueblo people did too. For several 100 years both groups have raised peaches, chilies and onion and other crops brought by the Spanish. When the Spanish brought sheep, cows and horses the Navajo took to raising them in the 1600s The Hopi did not do this as much, although today they raise them.

They seem to have learned their weaving techniques from the Hopi. Among the Navajo mainly women weave, among the Hopi mainly men. The Navajo have embellished and amplified the Hopi weaving and thoroughly Navajoized it in their patterns.

Some early Navajo living areas seem to combine hogans with square Pueblo style homes. Either they were living with Pueblo people or they borrow that style.

Some of the Navajo clans come from the Hopi and other Pueblo groups. For the Navajo it is incest to marry within any of the four clans of your grandparents or their related clans so there is a big push for out marriage.

Some of the Navajo traditions of four previous worlds before this one, color symbols and sacred mountains, masked dancers embodying the Yei bichei, may have been influenced by the Pueblo people. It is unclear exactly how because the Apache and almost all the southwest peoples have similar cultural practices around these ideas.
