Kykotsmovi Village, AZ

Kykotsmovi Village, often called K-Town or New Oraibi, sits at the base of Third Mesa in northeastern Arizona. As the administrative center of the Hopi Reservation, it serves as the home base for tribal government and daily community services. The reservation itself spans three high-desert mesas and twelve historic villages, making Kykotsmovi a natural gathering point where residents from across the area come together for work, local business, and everyday needs.

Living here means being part of a close-knit community that balances modern civic services with centuries-old traditions. Third Mesa also includes neighboring villages like Oraibi, Hotevilla, and Bacavi, each with its own deep history, distinct character, and local leadership. Because tribal administration, health resources, and community programs are based right in town, Kykotsmovi offers a steady rhythm of daily activity while keeping Hopi cultural values at the heart of everyday life.
