The Basketmaker people were then divided into subcategories: Basketmaker II and Basketmaker III. The Pueblo however, were categorized into four subcategories: Pueblo I, Pueblo II, Pueblo III, and Pueblo IV.

Nomadic tribes, these early ancestors of Southwest Native Americans traveled the land in search of food from the thriving herds of large animals.

History Of Hopi Indian Potters Contact zones were described in Mary Louise Pratt’s article "Arts of the Contact Zone" as being those points in time in which different cultural groups came together. Positive influences between the groups lead to knowledge and understanding, whereas negative influences lead to conflict and miscomprehension. The history of the Hopi Indians is intertwined with the various contact zones between the Hopi Indians and other cultural groups. It is this series of contact

Task 1. Scholarly versus Popular Resources 1. scholarly Source- written for scholars, technical language, full citation, peer reviewed Popular Source – magazines, for a general audience, usually not fully cited When each is appropriate: Popular sources are good for background information, then scholarly sources should be used for more in-depth research and citation. 2. A blog written by an archeologist would be a popular source because it is not peer reviewed 3. A blog by a Native American would
