Abstract: We answer a question of Yohe by showing that there exists a family of continuum many topologically different hereditarily indecomposable Cantor manifolds without any non-trivial weakly infinite-dimensional subcontinua. This family may consist either of compacta containing one-dimensional subsets or of compacta containing no weakly infinite-dimensional subsets of positive dimension.
