The Hotevilla-Bacavi Story Project is a heartfelt initiative dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of the Hopi language and culture. This project began with the generous contribution of written Hopi storybooks from Dr. Robert Rhodes to Mesa Media, Inc. These stories, rich in Hopi tradition and wisdom, form an invaluable resource for teaching and learning the Hopi language.
In our commitment to honoring and amplifying these stories, Mesa Media has worked to adapt them into engaging, accessible formats. The stories have been transferred into PowerPoint presentations, carefully transcribed in the adopted Hopi orthography, and recorded for broader use. Through these efforts, we aim to make these stories an effective and meaningful tool for Hopi language learners of all ages.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Rhodes—Askwali, Bob—for your unwavering support of the Hopi people and for your dedication to the revitalization of our language and culture.
