The Meaning behind the Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites Logo
The Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites logo is representative of Hopi traditions and is an original work of art created by Hopi artists. The Hopi people are guardians of the sacred land called Tutskwa in northeastern Arizona since ancient times and it is the responsibility of the Elders of the village to protect the land in their jurisdiction for the benefit of the people. This stewardship is premised on Hopi Prophecy, Faith in the Supreme Being would be the key to success." Read More
