Traditional Hopi hairstyle at MIAC

In this second of three segments on the Native Hairstyles celebration at the Museum of Indian Arts and culture, a Hopi mother and daughter demonstrate and talk about the significance of the Hopi young girl's hairstyle.

[@IndianArtsCulture]

We are so happy that so many people have enjoyed these hairstyle demonstrations, especially this Traditional Hopi one. We will not, however, tolerate hate speech of any kind on the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture's KZbin channel. Anyone who engages in such behavior will be blocked and reported for hate speech to KZbin immediately.

*Option!* Use Coconut Oil - it is great for the hair and washes out way easier. Fabulous Style - Very Attractive! You could benefit from another set of hands towards the end - You did Great!!!

[@IcarusFlysoClosetotheSun]

It's true, the right is ... NATIVE AMERICAN, NOT INDIAN. 👈

[@Toci333]

Please stop refereeing to us native Americans as Indians. This is the year 2020 please let's correct this so we can move on.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Very informative. So glad the First Americans are somehow managing to keep traditions alive in spite of all. Thank you.

[@dianaliberty3099]

Thank you for an inside look at the sovereign Hopi in Arizona. The squash-blossom hairstyle is beautiful with the very black hair making the style even more striking.

[@jeyyran]

I love that we not only got to see how it is done, but also learned about its background and meaning! Amazing and highly interesting, hopefully these cultural practices will continue to live on

[@Mommapunkin]

I love listen about the *Native* *American* *Heritage* and their *Culture!* I could listen to this lovely lady talking about her Hopi Heritage all day long... Thank you for sharing with us...

[@gunnargunnarssons]

Nice to see this tradition of the Hopi that I admire. Thanks for putting this out on the net.

[@alexandrafokine3227]

So beautiful! I see where Star Wars gets their hair inspiration from. It's wonderful to see how these traditions are being shared and recorded!

[@DarlingNikki2]

I was thinking the same thing! Padme has a style based on this when she and Anakin reunite in Revenge of the Sith close to the beginning, which is ironic considering she's a married woman about to have twins. :)

[@stigyanblue1442]

Her enormous and most elaborate hairstyle was based off of the last queen of Mongolia.

[@youtubeaccount5356]

I remember reading that the Star Wars creator George Lucas said that the revolution-era women of Mexico (also known as soldaderas) inspired Princess Leia's hairstyle. 🇲🇽💯

[@BlueSkyOcean]

I really love to learn more. Please share more of your culture. THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE!!!

Hopi is who I grew up with most in Tucson, AZ. Loved hearing the native stories.

I like the stories and the hair style. I love the traditions being passed down. Good vid. Ty✨✨✨

[@baragouinify]

Menstruation is so stigmatized in white Western culture, it's too bad there isn't a tradition like this to celebrate when a girl reaches puberty rather than treat it like something embarrassing or shameful.

[@KatieCatWalker]

Thankfully we are coming out of it. Even more and more men are embracing it. It took a very long time but we're getting it there

[@sarahsparood]

Is it? Lol. Not in my family.

[@winstonchaychel]

@Night but is the "quarantine" for spiritual reasons (to become one with the mother spirit of Earth) or is it a different reason? I've watched some other tribes and their puberty rituals, one is a special hut made just for spiritual reasons and nobody is allowed inside unless they're from that tribe. When the sun starts to rise the young lady will then run towards the sun.

[@PJPlatero]

In my tribe (Navajo) we celebrate female puberty that lasts a week. Its a family and extended family effort. All for that delicious blue/yellow corn cake baked over night in the ground about 5 feet wide in circumference.

[@stormie9077]

I'm part native my grandfather is pretty dark so I'd say I'm at least around a quarter. We don't talk much but he always said we are Cherokee. I've always taken anything I can learn to heart since I don't see him often and my mother isn't very into our culture. So I appreciate these videos very much even tho I am not Hopi myself. I've learned a bit from my fiance tho who is also Cherokee and his family is very close to the culture as well. Anyway long story short, thank you!

[@70wolfnipplechips41]

I have 3 tribes in me. I appear white and have an English/German name. I met a Shawnee man who explained to me that I should never say that I am only part Native American. The American government didn't just kill as many of the first people as possible, they also made laws saying that native people couldn't own land, couldn't keep their children, couldn't speak their language. So if you have ancestors who were of the first people you should claim it proudly and learn about their culture in order for to not let them extinguish the first people. This moved me so deeply. While there is nothing wrong with embracing your other heritage, you should embrace all of your heritage. May we all be one.

[@Benny-ye7ro]

70 WolfNippleChips , Native American folks are so smart and resourceful, who lived off their beautiful land. My heart aches for the trauma you have experienced, which in so many ways still persists. May God keep you safe & bless you all. ❤️🙏🙏🙏

My hair is down to the lowest part of my back now. I'm going to let it keep growing. Two years ago, the day after Xmas, I cut it almost up to my shoulders. Within a week, I hated it. Luckily, it grows fast. I've only trimmed it a few times to even the ends. Love to see how they do these traditional styles.

My daughter is part American Indian from her paternal grandmothers side. They came from Leni Lenape In Pennsylvania She has the thick dark straight Hair. I was a tom boy and had no clue how to even do a basic braid when I first had her My daughters hair is so beautiful I let it grow down to her rear end and not only did I learn how to do a basic braid but I learned how to do more complicated ones. But her hair down was always my favorite and the first thing everyone noticed about her was her hair.

[@AshleyMorrison-ug9jb]

watching this heals part of me, im only native on my dad's side so all the haircare as a child was done by my mother who is white. she got so frustrated with not understanding my hair texture that she would rip my hair out or shave it off. only native style i knew was just two braids parted down the middle, but it would always be on freshly shampooed wet hair which would end up falling out within an hour and become a mess. the amount of times i tried europeans styles and hair techniques and failed.. i even tried "princess leia" buns the way white people have adapted this style for their own texture, i didnt even realize it was actually a native style. really fascinating how different hair is around the world, such an important part of identity and culture. unfortunately my ancestor's culture is so threatened that few people even know the language anymore, let alone hairstyles. thank you to the Hopi for keeping their beautiful traditions alive

When you don't eat well, if you eat processed foods your hair won't grow as thick. Also, washing your hair everyday strips the natural oils.

[@Synicizm]

From experience, this is not necessarily true, but it helps. My skin and hair are naturally pretty oily, so washing my hair often is a must. You do, however, need to be careful about what you use. Watch out for alcohol of any type listed as one of the first few ingredients, and let it dry naturally when possible. Hair dryers are murder on hair. Wash it in the evening if you have to, and your morning shower is shorter - yay! =).
