Are you an independent thinker who gets what she wants? When it comes to dating, it seems that you have something in common with Hopi girls in 16th century America, who were strong and capable...and ground a lot of corn.

By completing the demanding "grinding corn ceremony," a Hopi girl proved that she was ready to provide for a family and begin courting. Then she went on a rabbit hunt with other boys and girls who had also completed coming-of-age ceremonies. She would prepare corn cakes ahead of time to eat on the hunt. If she had any remaining cakes at the end of the evening and one of the youths had caught her interest that day, she would give the cakes to him. After the hunt, she would continue grinding corn and hope that her love interest would contact her to say the feeling was mutual.

When a Hopi girl wanted to show a boy that she liked him, she made him a dessert made of cornmeal called a "pika." She would bring it to his home, and if he bit into it in front of her, it meant he was interested.

Not interested in corn, hunting and farming? Maybe you would have liked the Hopi buffalo dance festival, an annual event attended especially by young, unattached men and women. And next time you think your family is rude to your admirer's family, remember this: in 16th century Hopi culture, when a couple got married, the aunts on both sides would yell insults and sling mud (literally) at each other...
