'''Hotevilla-Bacavi''' ([[Hopi language|Hopi]]: '''Hotvela-Paaqavi'''; also known as '''Third Mesa''') is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Navajo County, Arizona|Navajo County]], [[Arizona]], United States, on the [[Hopi Reservation]].  The population was 957 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]].

==History==

Hotevilla was first settled by the "hostiles", a group of Hopi residents who were forced out of nearby [[Oraibi, Arizona|Oraibi]] in the 1906 Oraibi Split due to ideological differences over European cultural influences by recently arrived settlers, soldiers and missionaries, influences against which the hostiles were opposed. The US Army seized the children of Hotevilla on Dec 2, 1911 and sent them to government boarding schools after years of protracted resistance.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Adams |first=David Wallace |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.11589130?refreqid=fastly-default:0ffae7bfeb73deb6ef85ab5a06871225&ab_segments=&initiator=&acceptTC=1 |title=Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875–1928 |date=2020 |publisher=University Press of Kansas |isbn=978-0-7006-2960-2 |edition=REV - Revised, 2nd |pages=249}}</ref> Later attempts to reintegrate displaced residents resulted in another split to the settlement of Bacavi, which later joined with Hotevilla to create a unified settlement.<ref>{{cite book | last = Weir | first = Bill | title = The National Geographic traveler | publisher = National Geographic | location = Washington, D.C. | page=87 | year = 2008 | isbn = 9781426202285}}</ref> Hotevilla is mentioned by [[D.
