A young Hopi child, barefoot and wearing minimal clothing, stands on sandy ground holding a rope loop. The card describes the Hopi people (Hopitu shinumu) as "Peaceful all people," known for being hospitable, home-loving, kind, merry, and appreciative of jokes. Hopi children are noted for their fine features, respectfulness, obedience, and are treated with utmost kindness, never flogged. Marriage typically occurs around fifteen or sixteen years of age.
