Three Score and Ten in Retrospect histories of any of the Tribes extant on this continent and were among the earliest occupants of the cliff dwellings in the Western United States. Being peace loving by nature they and their lands were imposed upon by the more aggressive bibg such as the Apaches and the Navajo and for their safety, and in fact their very existence, were forced to withdraw to the mesa tops where their villages were only accessible after a most arduous climb up the face of the escarpments on trails so narrow and hazardous that only the brave dared venture upon them. The research conducted by John and his associates in preparation for the case disclosed that for many years the Hopi had been trying to obtain recognition of their needs by the Government of the United States - the Great White Father in Washington, D.C. Being substantially outnumbered by the Navajo Tribe little heed was paid to their entreaties, but finally at the urging of the then Indian Agent assigned to the area and other advisers, President Chester A. Arthur set apart an Indian Reservation for the Hopi Indians. The Executive Order creating the Reservation reads as follows: It is hereby ordered that the tract of country, in the Territory of Arizona lying and being within the following-described boundaries, viz: beginning on the one hundred and tenth degree of longitude west from Greenwich, at a point 36 degrees 30 minutes north thence due west to the one hundred and eleventh degree of longitude west, thence due south to a point of longitude 35 degrees 30 minutes north, then due east to the one hundred and tenth degree of longitude west, thence due north to the place of beginning, be, and the same is hereby, withdrawn from settlement and sale, and set apart for the use and occupancy of the Moqui and such other Indians as the Secretary of the Interior may see fit to settle thereon. CHESTER A. ARTHUR "Moqui" is an alternative name by which the Hopi were known and much used in early history and writings concerning these people.
