The
Hopi Reservation, or simply
Hopi, is a
Native American reservation for the
Hopi and
Arizona Tewa people, surrounded entirely by the
Navajo Nation, in
Navajo and
Coconino counties of
Arizona,
USA. The site in north-eastern Arizona has a land area of 2,531.773 sq mi (6,557.262 km²) and as of the
2000 census had a population of 6,946. The Hopi Reservation, like most of
Arizona but unlike the surrounding
Navajo Nation, does not observe
Daylight Saving Time. Until recently, the two nations shared the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area. The partition of this area, commonly known as
Big Mountain, by Acts of Congress in 1974 and 1996, has resulted in continuing controversy.
