It is the seat of tribal government of the Hopi Reservation, a sovereign nation located in northeastern Arizona. The Hopi word is spelled Kiqötsmovi (Hopi pronunciation: [?], kee-KEUTS-mo-vee) and means "mound of ruined houses". The population was 776 at the 2000 census. The Hopi reservation occupies part of Coconino and Navajo counties, encompasses more than 1.5 million acres, and is made up of 12 villages on three mesas.[3] Kykotsmovi is one of the 12 villages located in third mesa. Third Mesa includes Hotvela (Hotevilla), Paaqavi (Bacavi), Munqapi (Moencopi), Kiqotsmovi (Kykotsmovi), and Orayvi (Oraibi).[4]
