thank you
The best way to find out about the ceremonies is to visit the Hopi Cultural Center Website at http://www.hopiculturalcenter.com/ or another resource is to visit the following website and check with the tour guides. The Native guides know when the dances are and the best ones to attend. Gary Tso is a wonderful guide, there is a link to him here…http://www.arizonaguide.com/experience-and-share/featured-article/hopi-guide-extraordinaire
You could also phone him directly at 928-734-2567. The most specacular Bean Dance will be held at Hotevilla……
Could you tell me if any first Mesa villages are dancing Feb 15 weekend 2014 ? and if it is open? Would like to see Walpi’ s Bean dance.. or if not, When is Oraibi dancing Powamuya?
I can’t tell you when the dances are happening, for sure.

Hello I wish to visit the lands of the Hopi people and I would like a guide. I can not go til april-may. Im interested in ceremonys and in ancient sites .
thank you robin
Hi Robin…there are several guides and ways to approach visiting Hopi. The Cultural Center on 2nd Mesa is a wealth of information on the ceremonies and dances. You will be coming at a good time as far as dances that are open to the public. There are two individuals we recommend.
Hopi Land Tours, the Left Handed Hunter Tours…contact Gary Tso at 928-734-2567. He does all day and half day tours, cultural sites, working silversmiths, carvers and potters.
The other recommendation is Ancient Pathways Tours…contact Bertram “Tsaava” Tsavadawa at 928-797-8145. He is a Orayvi village member and does excellent tours for all day or half day
Both of our recommended tour guides will help you with attending dances.
Best of luck and we hope to see you in 2017.
Hellow,this is Reiko.
