It details how the Hopi people, who have cultivated their land for over a thousand years, are experiencing significant shifts in weather patterns, including reduced snowfall and altered monsoon rains, which are critical for their traditional farming practices. Through oral histories collected from Hopi farmers and gardeners, the article highlights the cultural and ecological challenges they face, including crop failures, diminished biodiversity, and the psychological effects of climate change on their community. The narrative emphasizes the resilience of the Hopi people as they adapt their agricultural practices in response to these environmental changes while maintaining their cultural heritage. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Transactions of the American Philosophical Society is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
