Why did the hopi Indians wear cotton clothes?

The Hopi people, a Native American tribe in Arizona, did not traditionally wear cotton clothes.

Their primary clothing materials were:

* Cottonwood bark: Used for blankets and clothing, especially in the winter.

* Yucca: This plant provided fibers for weaving into baskets, sandals, and clothing.

* Rabbit fur: Used for warm winter clothing, particularly for men's robes.

* Deer skin: Used for clothing, especially for men's clothing and moccasins.

* Turkey feathers: Worn for ceremonial purposes.

The Hopi did trade with other tribes, including those from the Southwest who did grow cotton. It's possible that some cotton clothing was obtained through trade, but it was not a primary material used for their traditional clothing.
