If you have been around both Hopis and Tibetans (native Tibetans) you see similar jewelry and dress customs to some degree as well as similar attitudes in many ways. You have to wonder why this is true. Before I studied with Tibetan Lamas I also studied with Native American Medicine men and women too and was surprised at how similar their attitudes were to life as well. Also, I met in Idaho, the Hopi Elder
when he was alive too at Two Ravens in the early 1980s at a conference there.
What is the Hopi and Tibetan Connection? I suppose you might think that maybe Tibetans came to Hopi Land at some point by boat and over land or teleported there as a group at some point? But, the way the Hopis see things and the Tibetans see things often is similar. They both live in places physically hard to survive in with the Tibetans living from 8000 feet elevation to around 15,000 feet elevation and the Hopis living at higher altitude usually too of 4000 to 5000 feet or more on the desert high plains of North Eastern Arizona mostly.
Also, there are many many Tibetan Dialects in Tibet. The two dialects I'm most aware of the the Dalai Lama's dialect which is often called the Amdo Dialect from where he was from as a child. Another country prominent dialect is the Khampa dialect. For example, I saw Khampa Warriors which dress with two braids of long hair with red ribbons in their hair. But, they are among the fiercest of all Tibetans and fought the Chinese the longest when they invaded on Horseback with Rifles in the 1950s. So, when I saw Khampas in Bodhgaya in December 1985 I was amazed at their fierceness with long black braided hair with red ribbons in them. So, what I'm saying is since there are many Tibetan dialects it is possibly likely that in one of these dialects the Tibetan word for Sun IS the Hopi word for sun. So, my question would be: "HOW did the Tibetans get to Hopi Land or how did the Hopis get to Tibetan Land?"
Khampa by the way just means usually a man (or possibly a woman?) from the Tibetan Province Kham which borders Mainland China.
Also, what dialect were the Tibetans who came to Hopi land Speaking and at what point did they come to Hopi land or vice versa? You do have to remember that teleportation is a siddhi often taught in the Himalayas for thousands of years. Maybe Levitation which means lifting off the ground for easier travel would be a better way to describe it. You also have the example of Jesus walking on water which is also a form of levitation taught for thousands of years in the Himalayas too.
I even remember a lifetime in Tibet which is now a part of Nepal when I found the cave when I was there in 1986 that I was meditating in in another lifetime around 1860 in the Himalayas not far from Tarke Gyang when I learned to teleport off the ground for traveling quicker through the Himalayas. I remember my long fingernails and hair and beard from no place much to bathe while meditating around 5 years to accomplish this in the late 1800s then in that cave. Cave Yogis ate (and still eat) nettles and water gathered nearby their caves and often their skin turns green from this austerity. I lived until around 1930 teaching what I knew about to younger students in Nepal and India then. I was born I believe in the 1840s in what is now Nepal but was a part of Tibet then I believe near Tarke Gyang, Nepal. I remember the full moon when I first left the cave to levitate the first time when I was ready. I mostly traveled like this at night out of politeness so the common people didn't have heart attacks and die of shock when they saw me levitating. Then like now most people were very ignorant here on earth about all sorts of things. So, since I was and am a compassionate practitioner I tried to heal people and save people's lives whenever I could practically do that. But, before Planes it was much more practical in Asia to learn to levitate like this. But, now with planes and great ships on the waters levitation isn't as useful as it once was, especially because it takes so long to learn to do this even if you have the right aptitude for doing it.
But, I would like people to know that this is possible for many or all people if they wanted to learn to do this. In some ways it takes the same amount of focus I guess to be an Airline pilot and like learning to fly jets it takes a great deal of time to be good at it.
The link below is where I stayed in Tarke Gyang with my family which included our 3 children ages 10 to 14 who all hiked 50 miles total in the Himalayas beyond where ANY roads at all exist. The picture below is the furthest away from any road that we trekked to. We stayed at the Sherpa home of our Nepali Sherpa Guide who was about 20 years old at the time. He was from Boudanath, Kathmandu near the huge Stupa there that pilgrims walk around praying all the time at who are Tibetan Buddhists from all over the world.
What is amazing here looking at Tarke Gyang is that every thing you see had to be carried at least 25 miles by porters to build everything in this community of Sherpa people in the Himalayas across suspension bridges and trails to the nearest dirt road. Roads don't exist (or didn't in 1986) here because Monsoons would wash them all away yearly. So, the only way there then was on foot. However, it is possible that there might be a helipad (for helicopters) built closer now than 25 miles away for rescue of Trekkers who often are richer than locals and who might be able to afford to have a helicopter save them.
If you even broke your toe and couldn't trek out to a hospital you could easily die unless you hired someone or people to carry you out 25 miles maybe on a stretcher to the nearest road or bus or ambulance. So, hiking in the Himalayas was much more risky when we did it than it is now potentially because of more helipads being built in remote areas of the Himalayas for rescue.
IN Karmandu, Nepal when we bought our trekking permit to hike in the Himalayas from the Nepalese government they had the wall covered with pictures of dead westerners who had gotten injured and died alone on trails there in the back country. So, when you see all the dead westerners who did something stupid or had an accident and died it makes you think twice about what you are doing. Hopefully.
Here is something from that area online:
However, the Tibetan Word for "Moon" and the Hopi word for "Moon" was confirmed by this comment at this site at the following link:
The true part is that the Tibetan word for moon is dawa, which sounds similar to the Hopi word for sun, taawa. However, there is no such similarity in reverse. The Tibetan word for "sun" is nyima, while the Hopi word for "moon" is muuyaw.
