Old Oraibi, Third Hope Mesa / Depew, Wally., 1987

 Item
Identifier: CC-53107-74254
Scope and Contents

Wikipedia: Oraibi, also referred to as Old Oraibi, is a Hopi village in Navajo County, Arizona, United States, in the northeastern part of the state. Known as Orayvi by the native inhabitants, it is located on Third Mesa on the Hopi Reservation near Kykotsmovi Village. There are no accurate census counts or estimates for the village population. While visitors to the pueblo are welcomed, the residents tend to be very private and do not allow photographs to be taken in the town, and thus there are no reliable photographs of the settlement as it exists in the modern day. Hence, the sign on this card indicating that the village is closed to white visitors. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
