Hano (Pueblo)
Hano is 1,893 meters above sea level . The pueblo is located near Walpi and Polacca on First Mesa in Navajo County , Arizona .
After the Pueblo uprising , a group of Tewas from the Rio Grande settled in the area of the Hopi Indian reservation around 1700 . The Hopis gave the residents the name “Hano / translated: People from the East”.
Although Hano is located on a secluded, dry plateau on a table mountain , early reports by the Spanish colonial rulers speak of multi-storey buildings and of corn, beans, cotton, pumpkins and tobacco in large quantities. Irrigation ditches made it possible to grow vegetables.
The Hano woman Nampeyo (* approx. 1856–1942) continued the more than 1000-year-old pottery tradition in the area and revived the Sikyatki handicraft tradition, which she had got to know through pottery shards. William Henry Jackson photographed Nampeyo and the pueblos for the first time in 1875. Numerous other photographers followed who devoted themselves to the subject and Hano became a tourist attraction around 1900.
The altars in Hano that were used for the winter solstice ceremony are the subject of anthropological research.
