Hopi Political OrganizationThe Hopi Government is a democratic government. While it has leaders, there is not any one person who has a majority of the power. For the most part, laws are not often broken, so there are not much or instances of having to deal with crime. The government system they have is much influenced by their religious beliefs and understandings.
Since time immemorial the Hopi people have lived in Hopitutskwa and have maintained our sacred covenant with Maasaw, the ancient caretaker of the earth, to live as peaceful and humble farmers respectful of the land and its resources. Over the centuries we have survived as a tribe, and to this day have managed to retain our culture, language and religion despite influences from the outside world. -Hopi Government Website Bio
