What clothes do the Hopi women wear?The type of clothes worn by the women of the Hopi tribe were knee-length cotton dresses called mantas which were fastened at a woman's right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder bare. Early women’s clothes included a dark blue woollen blanket that was fastened above the right shoulder and tied with an embroidered belt at the waist. When Hopi girls reach womanhood, their hair was dressed in two large whorls at the side of the head in a squash blossom design which was the Hopi symbol of fertility. Hair of the older women was kept long and worn in a traditional chongo style with a hair knot called a Hömsoma which was wrapped in white yarn. Like all women they liked adornments and wore Turquoise jewelry and silver ornaments.
