Sikyátki was a Hopi village and archaeological site on the eastern side of First Mesa in Arizona, inhabited from the 14th to the 17th century by the Kokop, or Firewood, clan. Its name means Yellow House, and it holds an important place in Hopi oral tradition, which says neighboring Wálpi destroyed the village and killed its people after a violent dispute. The site also shaped modern Pueblo pottery. In 1895, a Smithsonian-funded excavation led by Jesse Walter Fewkes uncovered well-preserved ceramic sherds whose painted designs inspired the Hopi-Tewa artist Nampeyo and helped launch the Sikyátki revival in polychrome pottery.
