Women Of Hopi indian Tribe Run
Things as They Please.
Ascendenoy Of Females Was Secured
Centuries Ago as Result Of Their
Strike Against Being Treated
as Beasts Of Burden.

Flagstaff. Ariz.-Down here In the
Great Painted desert man beIeaguered
by the suffragist hosts may find fully
illustrated the fate THAT will be his
when the woman's rights movement
reaches its fullest fruition. Long be-
fore the beskirted women of the east
even thought about demanding the
ballot their blanketed sisters in the
Hopi Indian nation had fought out the
matter and won.
The Hopis are better known to fame
as the Mokis or Moquis, but the latter
appellation was bestowed upon them
In derision by their warlike Navijo
and Apache enemies. Hopi means
people OF peace" Moqui means
dead men,"
Hopi women do not vote, but it Is
only because they do not want to.
They do about everything else that is
masculine and do it because they Ike

Hcpi houses are built by the wom-
en-, The houses are theirs, and their
children take their mothers name, not
the fathers. When a Hopi maiden
makes up her mind to marry she does
not trouble herself about asking the
consent of the man upon whom her
eye has alighted with favor She
asks his mother.
The husband does not prepare a
home for his bride. She takes him
into hers. The produce which he
raises is hers whenever it is stored in
her house, and no Hopi man ever has
property in his own name.
Tradition has 1t that the ascendercy
of these Hopi women was secured cen
turies ago as the result Of strike.
The ancient Hopi used his women as

beasts Of burden, following the usual
Indian custom.
They rebelled and gathered by
themselves on an unoccupied mesa.
There they held out, resisting all
Establishments and entreaties and
threats, and only consented to return
when assured that they should be
complete bosses n the house and the
village.
Generations OF rulership have
stamped the Hopi women as the su-
perior sex They are beautiful as
maidens, good looking as women and
often retain their rounded faces and
fine hair until old age comes on.
Compared to them the men are
stunted. The women are OF more then
average good figure, muscular ana
healthy looking. The men grow wiz
ened early and 90 about their task as
though they didn't get much out of
life. OF smaller stature, they are
often very hardy. and as messengers
are capable of going tremendous dis
tances without apparent fatigue.
The same difference marks the men,
tai activities of the two sexes. The
men seem to have little to concern
themselves about and are dull witted,
while the women are alert and ener-
getic, and in disposing Of their bas-
kerry and pottery, made by them
selves. they are much the better bar,
gamers.
The men are slow of speech and in
clined TO be silent. The women are
taikative. and house building stunt
is accompanied by more conversation
than half dozen sewing circles

form the priesthood. The Hopi is a
very religious gentleman. About half

ceremonials OF one kind or another.
