Present Distribution. 



Hio Grande. The villages now occupied are usually 

 separated into two groups, the Rio Grande and tlie 

 Hopi Pueblos, with Zuni standing by itself. The Rio 

 Grande Pueblos are again divided into the Tanoan 

 and Keresan, chiefl}' because the languages of the two 

 are totally different, but in part because there are also 

 minor differences in culture. The Tanoan group con- 

 sists of Taos, Picuris, San Juan, Santa Clara, San 

 Ildefonso, Tesuque, Pojoaque, Nambe, Jemez, Sandia, 

 and Isleta. Those which use the Keresan language are 

 San Felipe, Cochiti, Santo Domingo, Santa Ana, Sia, 

 Laguna, and Acoma. 



Hopi. The Hopi villages are geographical!}' sepa- 

 rated into the first or eastern mesa on which stand 

 Walpi, Sichumovi, and Hano; the second or middle 

 mesa witli Shipaulovi, ^lishongnovi, Shumopovi; and 

 on the third mesa, Oraibi, the largest of all. 



Quite recently the conservative party of Oraibi, who 

 wish to live as they formerly did, has withdrawn and 

 built a new \'illage a few miles awaj' on the same 

 mesa. Forty miles westward is the summer village of 

 Moenkapi situated where conditions are favorable 

 to agriculture. The language of the Hopi proper is 

 Shoshonean connected with Ute and Comanche. One 

 of the villages, however, Hano, still has its Tewan 

 dialect maintained since the migration from the Rio 

 Grande early in the eighteenth century.
