From the Paper
"The Hopi and the Apache, two Indian tribes of the American Southwest, have very different views on death and dying. The Hopi believe there is a close reciprocal relationship between the living and the dead. This reciprocity is expressed in their ceremonies, as well as in their agricultural activities. They believe that death leads to rebirth (Thompson & Joseph, 1965, p. 42). In contrast, the Apaches believe that death is a terrifying thing. Being visited by ghosts of the dead is one of their great fears, so they move their settlements away from their dead (Baldwin, 1965, p. 96).
Implicit in the Hopi configuration of culture is an integrated theory of the universe by which the Hopi attempt to organize their world in order to cope with their life problems and obtain some degree of security in a highly hazardous (...)"

Abstract
The paper describes the traditional, ideal Apache family. It looks at their close ties to extended family and examines how the leader of a tribe would prevent disharmony in the group. The paper also looks at traditional Apache religion and how hunting was an integral part of the Apache's lifestyle.
From the Paper
"The Apache had many distinct branches, some in the south, west or east. However they shared many things in common when it came to their political and social organization. In the ideal Apache family there would be a husband and a wife. It was the husband's job to join the family of his wife. The couple would share their household with their unmarried children and the families of their married daughters. Due to this marriage arrangement, the wife was the member of the family who brought in extended members. Wives played an important role in the tribe's survival."

Closing information
From the Paper
"Well, Honeycutt got what he wanted. The C Company found fourteen enemy bodies lying around. So again, the morning started with the Americans striking the enemy with bombing, air strikes, and ceaseless artillery. Honeycutt however made the C Company cease fire. Honeycutt told Sanders to stop finding an avenue to the top of the mountain, realizing that D Company's three brutal days in the ravine was enough. Instead he planned his fight on the mountain with A Company in the lead. The 1/506th was supporting the A Company. But the 1/506th was in trouble. The enemy of course prevented the 1/506th from getting to the mountain to help get the attack started. Because he didn't have 1506th help he called off the attack. He was frustrated. This might even begin the ending of the battle."

The Creation Story of the Apache, 2002.
This paper discusses the importance of the creation story in the lives of the Chiricahua Apache.

Abstract
This paper examines the history and folklore behind the creation story of the Chiricahua Apache. The creation story is presented to the reader, and is referenced throughout the paper. The history of the Apache is discussed, including where and how they lived, their connection to the land and how the creation story would influence their day-to-day decisions. According to this paper, their religion was central to all aspects of their lives, their behavior and means of survival. Their interaction with the white population, whether violent, or friendly, can all be traced back to their belief in their own creation story.
From the Paper
"By the beginning of the 17th century the Chiricahua Apache had achieved, from what can be determined from the archaeological record, a relatively settled way of life. They grew corn as well as other crops such as beans ? although there were certainly still semi-nomadic groups. Their joint dependence on agriculture and nomadic food collection and herding may have been due to the sporadic nature of rainfall in the Southwest. Nomadicism is a rational response during a year in which there is not enough rainfall."

Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons for the popularity of Apache Ant for Java. It further discusses why this approach is easier and better noting that the Ant Build Automation Tool is a powerful scripting tool for building processes are various code requirements using predefined tasks. Ant is an XML based scripting tool, and Apache Ant is specifically a Java based Build Tool.
From the Paper
"The Ant Build Automation Tool is a powerful scripting tool for building processes are various code requirements using predefined tasks. Ant is an XML-based scripting tool, and Apache Ant is specifically a Java-based Build Tool. There are other ways that some of the same tasks can be achieved, and many consider Ant to be a better tool that other scripting approaches such as Batch scripting. An examination of the Ant system can show why Ant is better than others and also expose any disadvantages that Ant might have compared to other methods."

Abstract
The paper sheds light on the motivations and reasoning behind Geronimo's dedication to the path of war by describing Geronimo's early life and the injustice done to his people and his own family by the Mexican troops and the white men. The paper describes the many battles he fought and the years of struggle with white men. The paper concludes that although is depicted as a savage, one must not forget that Geronimo was a great leader and a great warrior who prolonged the life of his Apache.
From the Paper
"To understand Geronimo's motivation, one must look at his early life. Born into the Bedonkohe band of the Apache Indian tribe, Geronimo was raised on Apache traditions. At the age of 17, he married his first wife, Alope, with whom he would have three children. In 1858, Geronimo and his tribe ventured to Old Mexico for trading. Confident that they would not be attacked, the warriors left their women and children at the camp to go into the town of Kaskiyeh and trade. While there, the tribe's camp was attacked by a Mexican troop on a hunting trip, and Geronimo's wife, three children, and mother were killed."

Abstract
This paper looks at the cultural, moral and historical importance of place names in Western Apache society, based on the studies by Keith Basso in his book "Wisdom Sits in Places". The paper discusses the morality tales inherent in each named location and the significance of the land on the morality of the people, and the ways in which the society maintains order and accountability.
From the Paper
"In his book Wisdom Sits in Places, Keith Basso examines the role of Apache placename stories in the community of Cibecue, Arizona. Place names and the stories directly associated with them are extremely important to Apache culture in a number of ways. Not only do they contain the entire history of the Apache people, the phases of their traveling to the land, settling in, and the important events that took place later, but their primary function is to serve as reminders of appropriate behavior and the morality of the culture to anyone who may be breaking those codes of conduct (Basso 50). The placenames form a historical and geographical narrative as well as a moral code couched in the metaphors of hunting, wounding and healing. In a historical context, placename stories are handed down from generation to generation, fixing the events of a story inextricably from the location where the story took place."

The Hopi, 2008.
Examines the agriculture of the Hopi.
810 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 5 sources, APA, £ 20.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as a collective endeavor, agriculture required that the Hopi work together under the guidance of ancestral wisdom. The author describes that the cultivation of corn and other crops was no small feat in the desert especially during summer months when rainfall was scarce. The paper concludes that, with life so intimately connected with land, the sacred aspects of agriculture permeated the everyday Hopi life.
From the Paper
"Rains and moisture are integral to the survival of the corn and of the clan. Thus, Hopi venerated clouds as ancestral spirits and created kachinas (O'mau kachinato) honor them. Cloud figures pepper Hopi iconography and the Hopi distinguished between different types of clouds to distinguish those that deliver the blessing of rain from those that simply flank the sky. Cloud kachinas essentially "wear" the clouds on their headdress, and cloud imagery also decorates their sash and garment."

The Hopi and American Society, 2001.
A look at the acculturation problems faced by the Hopi people in modern American society.

Abstract
This paper examines the culture of the Hopi people with a focus on their history the problems the Hopi now face regarding acculturation into American culture.
From the Paper
"The Hopis were first contacted by foreigners when Spanish conquistadors discovered their villages in 1540. In 1629, Spanish missionaries began to settle on Hopi land and tried in vain to convert the Indians to the Catholic faith. In protest, the Hopis joined with neighboring tribes facing the same persecution in the Pueblo Rebellion of 1680, causing the destruction of several Spanish missions throughout the southwest. When the Spanish returned to conquer the Rio Grande pueblos nine years later they did not venture as far west as Hopi territory. The Hopis lived virtually unbothered for more than a century until they became part of the United States at the end of the Mexican War in 1848. As Americans began to settle the southwest, the question of land rights arose. In 1882 President Chester A. Arthur established a 3,863-square-mile reservation for the Hopis (Hieb 1994). Now under U.S. government control, a culture that had remained practically unchanged for centuries began to feel the strong influence of an encroaching and far bigger society called America. "

Hinduism and Hopi Traditions, 2002.

Abstract
This paper is a comparison of Hopi Indian traditions with Hindu religious practices, centered on the treatment and view of women by these communities. Although the Hopi society is much more willing to develop gender equality, their religious practices often exclude women from the most important dance rituals. Likewise, Hindu women are seen as a step below men in traditional hierarchies of reincarnation. The section on Hinduism specifically mentions the practice of suttee, or widow-burning, which demonstrates the low worth of women who are not expected to produce children.

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth exploration of the Hopi Tribe of northern Arizona and the Yanomami Tribe of Brazil and Venezuela. The author contrasts and compares both of these peoples and illustrates the differences, as well as the many similarities between these two cultures that are located so far apart. Some of the topics covered are their individual histories, descendants, culture, patterns of living, religion, the role of their respective governments in their ability to maintain their respective homelands and the role of that agriculture plays in both societies.
From the Paper
"The life at the Hopi villages revolves around their religious calendar. The calendar is divided on the basis of the visits of the ?Kachinas?. The Kachinas are believed to be the ancestral spirits which arrive after the winter and leave at the time when the summer season is at its peak. To recognize and celebrate their stay, colorful ceremonies and dances are arranged in the village plazas. It is believed that such ceremonies are going to benefit the people, plants, animal and spirit life of the tribe. When these Kachinas finally depart from the tribe, stamped images of the Kachinas are given as spiritual gifts. The Katsinam, who perform the public dances, are sacred to the Hopi people, as are the carved Kachinas which have been ceremonially sanctified. The religion is something of prime importance in the Hopi culture."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history, lifestyle and beliefs of the Kachina, the ancestral spirits of the Hopi tribe, belonging to the Pueblo Indians who hail from Arizona. The paper further discusses the traditional and religious ceremonies of the Kachina, called Kachinas.
From the Paper
"What is a Kachina? What do Kachina spirits do? What is a Kachina doll? These questions can be answered by studying about the Hopi Kachina spirits and Kachina dolls. "Kachinas (pronounced kah CHEE nuhs) are the ancestral spirits of the Hopi, a tribe of the Pueblo Indians who live in villages in northeastern Arizona" (Antoniotti). The Kachinas is a part of the history of the Hope tribe. They are loved by the Hopi people because they believed that they would bring good luck and prosperity to the people. "The Hopi believe that spirits exist not only in humans and animals but in all things - including plants and the elements. These katsinam are impersonated in Hope ceremonies called kachinas" (Tefertillar 194). In order to grasp understanding of the kachinas, it is important to look at the Kachina season, Hopi tribe, American Indian art of the kachina and kachina dolls."

The Hopi, 1992.
Examines the role of reproductive power, birth, childhood, social structure, marriage rites, religious ceremonies, gender roles and the future.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The Hopi celebrates life and in this sense, the reproductive process is revered. Because women have the power to reproduce, the society revolves around the women and their role in sustaining and nourishing the clan. The men are seen as "messengers" or intermediate workers who help to raise the crops, which are given life from Mother Earth. This is a recurrent theme that is expressed in all phases of life.
Birth
Birth is an important event to both the mother's and father's clan, children of both sexes being very much desired by the Hopi. Girls are specially prized because of their role in the perpetuation of the clan and because of the reproductive powers.. From the very beginning of life, the differences between male and female roles in the Hopi clans are evident. At ..."

From the Paper
"This study will compare two North American Indian tribes, the Seminoles and the Apaches. The study will consider their origins, culture and lifestyles, religions, family structures, use of medicines, enemies and allies, and land issues.
With respect to the origins of the Seminoles, we discover that they were originally a part of the Creek Indians in the early 18th century, when they settled in what had formerly been the territory of the Apalachees in Florida. They grew in numbers and strength, drawing runaway slaves into their fold, along with remaining Apalachees. They were ruled by the Spanish as the nation of the United States began to be formed, and as such they fought regular battles with American troops then and into the 19th century. One treaty called for them to move west, but their chief Osceola refused, leading to the eight-year Seminole War ..."
