SIPAPU

'Sipapu', a Hopi word, is a small hole or indentation in the floor of kivas used by the Ancient Pueblo Peoples and modern-day Puebloans. It symbolizes the portal through which their ancient ancestors first emerged to enter the present world. More generally, it functions as a reminder of the Puebloan's earthly origins.

The sipapu is the small round hole in the floor of the kiva ruin; taken at Long House, Mesa Verde National Park.

Sipapu ski resort, New Mexico, is named for the ''Sipapu''.
