Hopi Cultural Center

Fred Kabotie wanted Hopi culture back on Hopi land. In 1965 he began planning what would become the Hopi Cultural Center, dedicated on June 26, 1971, on Second Mesa. The motel's 33 rooms follow traditional Hopi architecture — stucco, outdoor walkways, balconies on the second floor. The restaurant serves Hopi cuisine alongside American food. The museum holds kachinas, weaving, pottery, documents, and photographs, and originally opened with objects on loan from the Museum of Northern Arizona. Some Katsina dances are open to visitors; recording of any kind is not permitted.
