Past Projects
Clan Home & Piki House Restoration Project
A project devoted to the preservation of 800 year-old village clan homes including the Shungopavi Snow Clan home, the Walpi Fire Clan home, and the Mishongnovi Snake Clan home. In addition, several piki houses (small homes where traditional Hopi bread is made) have been restored in the villages of Bacavi and Upper Moenkopi. This project produced the First technical guides published for Hopi structural preservation entitled “Kiiyamuy Technical Guides” still in use today by the Hopi community.
