Asa

The Asa Tribe, a phratral organization of the Hopi, comprises several clans, including Chakwaina and Posiwu. Originating near Abiquiu, New Mexico, they journeyed through various pueblos before settling in Tusayan. They experienced significant challenges, including drought and disease, leading to a brief relocation to Canyon de Chelly, where they mingled with the Navajo. By 1700-1710, they returned to Hano and later settled in Walpi, adapting to their new environment as they navigated relationships with neighboring tribes.
