LIFE OF MOKI
4
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M„ Aug 25.
The development of wells in Navajf
and Moki Indian reservations has op
erated to cause the Hopi Indians t<
abandon to a large extent their an
oient communal life and to move Intt
the valleys and to scatter, according
to the report of General H. P. Robin
eon, superintendent of Indian irriga
tion work. The Hopls for centurle:
lived in villages on the mesas. Thei
are now beginning to take up indi
vidual plots in the valleys.
Another result has been that th<
Indians have become self supportin>
to a much larger degree than hereto
fore. Their crops have increased ant
their flocks of sheep and cattle art
larger. General Robinson's report dis
closes that more than 80 wells havt
been brought in on the reservation!
of northern New Mexico, Arizona am
southern Utah.
