21 Whether destruction of a corrupt village at the behest of its chief has actually been a pattern in Hopi affairs is a matter of some consequence for an understanding of the event. There were survivors of the killing other than the captives, and it may be assumed that they were members of an antiSpanish faction. At least some of these survivors joined the Navajos. They are said to be the descendants of people who settled at Awatcvi when it was already a thriving Hopi town, coming from the vicinity of the San Francisco Peaks and forming a distinct population within the pueblo.
As the limited chronicle provided by Spanish and Mexican records and Navajo and Hopi tradition makes clear, this was very much an oversimplification. It was, however, a view that one Hopi faction could cultivate to its own advantage, as they had also cultivated the vain Spanish hope that due to their sufferings, the Hopis would soon submit voluntarily to mission life. Hopi experience with Anglo-Americans during the Mexican period was apparently limited to an incursion of some two hundred trappers who de- Page 20 stroyed their crops and killed fifteen to twenty Hopis.
Detailed accounts of visits to Hopi begin again in 1775. In that year Fray Silvestre Vélez de Escalante, then stationed as missionary at Zuni, made a trip to Hopi with a Zuni escort. At the same time that he was at Walpi, there were more than a hundred Navajos there. 36 He began the return journey about a week later. 37 In July of the following year, 1776, Fray Francisco Garcés visited Oraibi, where he was most inhospitably received. 38 In November of the same year Escalante, along with a number of other Spaniards, arrived at Oraibi from the west on their return from an unsuccessful effort to blaze a trail through the Ute country to California.
