Special to the Tutuveni

By: Jere’ Antone, Bruin Times Student Staff Writer

An event that happened Jan 10 at Twin Arrows Casino about the Hopi High School Boys Cross Country 25th

straight state championship reunion was inspiring because of interesting speeches.

I enjoyed the event because they recognized all the runner’s names that ran starting when they started

winning and getting the state championships. It was good that they named everyone of them, their team and

what year they ran.

The speeches were inspiring and great. Everyone looked nice and was dressed well. I enjoyed how they had

every year’s jersey out there.

I also enjoyed being there with my dad, being his “date” and having a good time. I enjoyed the food because

it was meatloaf and desert.

I was inspired by the speeches because it showed me how running can be important to our Hopi culture.

It made me think about pushing myself into getting better in running and winning a state championship for

Hopi High School.

My dad was one of the many runners to win a state championship when he was in high school. I liked all

the stories my dad told me about when he was in high school, and when he ran for Hopi High. I also liked the

speeches by Hopi Chairman Herman Honanie, Debbie Baker and Coach Rick Baker. I enjoyed the entire event.

The other part I liked about the event was emcees Patty Talahongva and Bruce Talawyma. They spoke well and

gave Baker little objects that went with their story. They even had entertaining music by Ed Kabotie and Clark Tenakhongva. Six individuals were recognized for state championships and were given jackets with their names on them.

HOPI TRIBAL COUNCIL

Hopi Tribal Council Approves $2.89 Million

TIGER Grant For The Tawaovi Community

Press Release from the Office of the Hopi Chairman

Kykotsmovi. By a vote of 13 in favor, 3 opposed and 2 abstentions

the Hopi Tribal Council, on January 07, 2015 approved a $2.89 million TIGER grant from the Federal Highway Administration for the Tawa’ovi Community Streets and Infrastructure Project.

TIGER stands for “Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery” and provides competitive grants for transportation infrastructure. Intended to boost economic recovery following the recent

Great Recession, projects are selected based on their ability to contribute to the long-term economic competitiveness of the nation, improve

the condition of existing transportation facilities and systems, improve

energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the

safety of U.S. transportation facilities and improve the quality of living

and working environments of communities through increased transportation choices and connections. The Department also focused on projects that are expected to quickly create and preserve jobs and spur rapid

increases in economic activity.

The Tawa’ovi community has been a long ago envisioned new Hopi

community initially referred to as the Turquois Community and connected to the Turquoise Trail. BIA Route 4 (Turquoise Trail) is envisioned as the northern gateway to Hopi connecting highways 264 at

the Hopi Cultural Center and 160 near Kayenta, AZ but has only been

partially completed to date.

Tawa’ovi is envisioned as a master planned community development

project with the goal of addressing the overall housing, office space,

economic development, recreational and other needs for the Tribe under

the oversight of the Hopi Tawa’ovi Community Development Team.

Future plans call for the creation of a federally charted Tawa’ovi Community Development Corporation to oversee the full build out of the

community.

Significant planning has been done for Tawa’ovi since 2005. The

project received a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) from the

Bureau of Indian Affairs on May 01, 2014 and is considered “shovel

ready”. The Hopi Department of Transportation, under the direction of

Michael Lomayaktewa, Director will provide administrative oversight

of the TIGER project in behalf of the Tribe and the Tawa’ovi roads and

streets construction development is slated to begin in early 2017.

The Tawaovi Community Development Committee is thankful for

the support of the Hopi Tribal Council, the Federal Highway Administration and other key partners in this important initiative for the Hopi

Tribe. For more information, please see the Tawaovi Community Development website at www.Tawaovi.com

Hopi Social Services (Guidance Center)

in State of Emergency

“It’s hard to concentrate because it’s cold in the building. We wear jackets, but that’s not enough because our

legs get cold and its uncomfortable to work in these conditions,” said Randall Mahle

Social Workers work in crowded places; working next to each other and talking

on the phone over one another. There is a breach of confidentiality

Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni

On May 14, 2014, the Hopi Tribe’s Social Services program, also known as the Hopi

Guidance Center was directed by former Executive Director, Donovan Gomez and Vice

Chairman Alfred Lomahquahu Jr. to vacate their offices in Toreva, Second Mesa because

of environmental issues, i.e. mold and rodent problems.

Previous to being vacated from the buildings, several staff members complained of

having nausea, dizziness, headaches and respiratory problems. It was not like the staff to

be sick all at once.

A staff member had alerted the Vice Chairman’s office on the situation to which he

intervened and told staff to get medically cleared at the Tuba City Regional Hospital.

Several staff members were cleared while others were not.

“I was concerned for their health first of all,” said Vice Chairman. “Then the liability.”

Vice Chairman said he and the Human Resource Director, Elward Edd met with Hopi

Chairman Herman G. Honanie in regards to the situation. They informed the Chairman

they needed to find a place for the program because it was a liability and a health concern

for the employees to continue working in the buildings.

After many years of being in Toreva they were told to leave the comfort of their offices

with only the items they needed and move to the Hopi Tribal Administration building

where they filled up empty offices and conference rooms.

“We felt like we were not welcomed even though we all work for the Hopi Tribe,” said

Glenndalyn Naqua-Hyeoma. “I felt like we were in the way and not welcomed by the

other employees, this made work stressful.”

They were located at the administration building up until Aug.12 when they moved to

the First Mesa Consolidated Village (FMCV) community building in Polacca where they

are currently.

The Social Services program had been through so much changes and controversy within a few months. During the summer the former Social Services Director, Richard Hamilton was terminated by the former Executive Director, Donovan Gomez. After which

Clinical Supervisor, Janice Patch became the interim Director until she was arrested for

contempt of court according to the Hopi Tribal Courts. She was put on suspension after

her arrest and was then terminated.

In July, Lori Joshweseoma was appointed as the Interim Executive Director and began

to make changes to the Social Services program by restructuring the organizational chart.

She eliminated some positions and as a result there was a Reduction-In-Force (RIF).

In the latter part of September 2014, Eva Sekayumptewa, MSW began her position as

the Clinical Supervisor with the Social Services program. She was approached and asked

if she would like to fill the position. After some careful thought Sekayumptewa accepted.

“When I began working here, there was a lot of re-organization happening here,” said

Sekayumptewa. “There was shifting of positions and the structure of the Guidance Center.”

Sekayumptewa doesn’t know much about the issues previously to coming to the program, but when she started her job as the Clinical Supervisor she did a quick assessment

of the building and inventory of what the program needed.

Her first directive from the Executive Director was to look for an alternate location for

the Social Services program. She contacted all the agencies for available buildings to fit

a staff of 16 but had no luck.

There is no telling when and if they will find permanent office space due to the lack of

available lands, funds and vacant buildings to utilize. The removal from their offices has

affected the services they provide to the Hopi people.

The Social Services program is 24/7 and they deal with a lot of confidential issues.

They work closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Hopi Police Officers, Hopi

Resource Enforcement Services (HRES), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Hopi

Tribal Courts, State entities and Hopi Health Care Center.

The Social Services consists of eight programs; Child Protective Services, Child Welfare, Indian Child Welfare Act, Family Preservation, Foster Care, Prevention Education,

General Assistance and Burial Assistance.

Without a building of their own, it’s hard for them to function and provide services to

their clients due to lack of confidentiality and room to meet with their clients.

Issues and Concerns

The main issue at hand is heating and roof leaks in the FMCV building. Because of the

heating problems, Social Services had to close their offices because they had no heat in

building. The Social Workers worked out in the field doing home visits and meeting with

clients when the offices closed.

Sekayumptewa said they try not to work from home because they have deadlines for

reports and court hearings. The staff needs their computers and printers to prepare for

court. They don’t have laptops to take home and work with.

Another issue is confidentiality and the set up in the building. The secretary’s desk is

near the door and behind her is an open space and makeshift cubicles in the center of the

room and against the walls. All the outlets in the building are being used with extension

cords taped to the floor. The place looks like a temporary office space for an emergency

operations command post.

“There is no confidentiality because of the way we are set up,” said Sekayumptewa.

“We are on the phone talking over one another and people who do not need to know what

the other is talking about will hear the conversation.”

She also added the files are not kept in a secure location in the building although they

are behind two locked doors it is not an ideal place for them because the roof leaks in that

area of the building.

“When the roof is leaking we can’t turn the lights on the file room because we don’t

want to get electrocuted,” said Sekayumptewa.

While there for the interview, there were two children who had been taken into custody

that morning and they were watching a movie in the open space. The staff couldn’t put

them in another room because there was no heat in that part of the building. During our

interview, the smaller child lost interest in the movie and began running around in the

building. Mind you, there was indoor propane heaters in two areas of the room and staff

on the phone taking care of other cases and extension cords taped to the floor. The staff

had to take time out of their work to settle the child down.

Not only were they babysitting and trying to do their work, they were having problems

with their printers, internet and telephone lines.

The Hopi Tribe’s Management Information Services has been very receptive to the

and extension cords are lined up across the floors.

needs of the Social Service program.

“We rely heavily on our computers and telephones,” said Sekayumptewa. “If these are

not working properly we can’t get our work done and we get penalized for it.”

The telephone system is not working properly. It is usually a malfunction on Hopi Telecommunications Inc. (HTI) part or the Hopi Tribe MIS office, but the office staff can’t

determine who can fix the issue so they call both, MIS and HTI. MIS will respond but the

HTI doesn’t respond right away and it is usually something they need to fix in order for

MIS to complete the job.

“When I request support it’s not immediate, but I do get it,” said Sekayumptewa. “I also

found that other programs and departments are very supportive to our situation and they

will lend a helping hand.”

The Social Services program feels they have been isolated from the Hopi Tribe because

they don’t have janitorial services provided to them as well. It was being provided by the

village of FMCV, but they stopped.

Executive Order

After trying to find an alternate location, she had no choice but to try and work with

FMCV in getting the heating and roof leaks repaired, but they didn’t have the resources

or funds to do it. However, they were welcomed to stay in the building as long as they

needed to.

During a Directors meeting, Sekayumptewa shared the issues she was facing at FMCV

and asked if they knew of any resources they could use. The meeting was held just before

winter and she knew the building didn’t have adequate heating and the roof was is in bad

condition. She needed to find another location soon or fix the problem.

After the meeting she was approached by Roger Tungovia, Director of Public Safety

& Emergency Services. He recommended she write a letter to the Hopi Chairman and

ask for a State of Emergency for the Social Services program and state the reasons why.

He went over the State Emergency criteria and said they met all of it. One criteria was

they were displaced not of their own will but because of someone else’s decision.

In the latter part of Oct. 2014, Sekayumptewa submitted her letter to the Hopi Chairman’s office declaring a state of emergency for her program.

“I waited for about a month to hear from him and I continued to call his office,” said

Sekayumptewa. “Then finally in November we got a response and the declaration was

announced.”

Tungovia received the Executive Order on Nov.21 through email. The Executive Order

authorized use of emergency funds. Before he could help Social Services and use the

emergency funds, Social Services had to amend their lease with FMCV. The lease was for

a year and Tungovia said it would be

The following is Tungovia’s account of what he has done thus far in helping Social

Services.

Nov. 24: Tungovia went to FMCV to do an assessment on the building.

Nov. 25: Tungovia met with Sekayumptewa and Ivan Sidney, FMCV Business Manager on the assessment of the building. The same day he met with IKARD Gas Company

to get their input on the indoor heater he found for the Social Services to use temporarily.

After meeting with IKARD he went to Flagstaff to pick up the heaters.

Dec. 12: Q-Tech of Flagstaff did an assessment on the heating system at FMCV. The

heating system needed to blowers, circuit board, re-wiring and it needed to be cleaned for

the heater to work again.

The same day the roofing company did an assessment on the roof. The estimated cost

to fix the roof is $48,000.

As soon as Tungovia was given estimates he began the financial process, but ran into

some challenges in getting payments through.

“Contracts and Grants said they need a service agreement, but the Executive Order allows me to surpass that protocol so we can help the program,” said Tungovia. “The more

we deal these kinds of issues; it’s going to cause a delay.”

With everything accounted for as far as what Social Services needs, they have spent

under $60,000 on renovations and improvements. Tungovia said he is trying not to go

over that amount.

Tungovia was concerned about the requisition cutoff date of Dec. 15 and didn’t know

whether finance would accept additional requisition. In addition, it was the end of the

year and Tungovia said in the appropriations language the emergency funds cannot be

extended into the next year.

“If they stop it, that’s as far as I can go,” said Tungovia. “I can’t do anything else.”

Since the Executive Order has been in place, Tungovia said he has attempted to have a

meeting to give an update on the situation.

Tungovia feels that the Office of Research and Planning should have stepped in to help

the program find a location.

“Every program needs a back-up plan to continue services in case the Hopi Tribe shuts

down due to an emergency,” said Tungovia.

Moving forward

Sekayumptewa said they are trying to be hopeful and keep their spirits up, but find it

hard when they are dealing with stressful situations with families and the children who

need them.

The irony in all this is the Social Services is trying to help displaced children when they

are displaced themselves and are trying to find a permanent location to continue services.

“It feels like Social Services hasn’t been a priority of the Hopi Tribe,” said Sekayumptewa. “We need to be a priority because we are dealing with children who are coming from

homes that are not safe or dysfunctional. This is not going to be a quick fix, because the

system has failed the children for a long time. We also need to find support for staff that

works long hours.”

She said it’s amazing to see the teamwork the staff displays when something happens.

They all step up to help.

If the tribe doesn’t help with funds or resources for more positions, Sekayumptewa

said they will experience “staff burnout” because they work before 8 a.m. and sometimes

after 5 p.m.

“They are dedicated workers and the tribe needs to make an effort and make this a

priority,” said Sekayumptewa.

Hopi High School Coach Baker - 25 years of State

Cross Country Championships

By: Stan Bindell

Hopi High Boys Cross Country Coach Rick Baker, now garnering the nickname of the

“True Legend,” and 25 years of state championship cross country runners, were honored Jan.

10 during a banquet at Twin Arrows Casino.

About 400 packed into the conference hall to honor runners who were part of the national

and state record 25 years of consecutive boys state cross country championships.

Coach Baker said it was great to see the alumnae of runners and thanked them all, starting

with assistant coach and former Hopi High runner Juwan Nuvayokva.

“He’s my colleague now and he knows my secrets, like hiding my Pepsi,” Baker said about

Nuvayokva. He praised Nuvayokva, Devin Lomayaoma and others for putting the gathering

together, but he praised all the runners from the junior varsity runners to the champions. He

pointed to former Hopi High runner Matt Honanie for sponsoring meals.

“He’s a true champion and captain,” Baker said about Matt.

Baker said former Hopi High runner Jose Acevido ran at state when someone else was

injured and broke a record. Now, he’s a graduate of ASU and an architect.

Coach Baker noted that Hopi Chairman Herman Honanie, Hopi Vice Chairman Alfred

Lomahquahu Jr. and several council members took their time to come honor these student

athletes during this event.

Baker was ecstatic that his fellow runner at Haskell College and friend Edison Eskeets

spoke at the event. Eskeets is the head of Native American Preparatory School and executive

director of Wings of America.

“Edison Eskeets walks on water. He’s a deep philosopher,” he said. “It’s good to talk about

classmates. The same with you. I like seeing the runners go up to get their photos with their

jerseys.”

Baker recounted the early days of coaching at Hopi High where they had ugly buses so

he now considers the travel buses as “living large.” He praised his sons Chad and Steven for

giving up their time with him so he could coach.

“They stayed up waiting for sack lunches,” he joked.

Baker called his wife Debbie the love of his life and his most trusted advisors. He said she

had to approve several of his workouts for his runners. He said her support and encouragement was essential for the past 27 years.

“All of you. Your work has paid off,” he told the runners.

Baker said the first group of runners in 1987 set the foundation even though they didn’t

win the state championship. The first year he coached Hopi finished third at state, the second

year the Bruins dropped to eighth at state, the third year it was back to third at state before

finally starting the winning streak during their fourth year. He started handpicking students

and asking them to run for Hopi. Then, he would mold them to be that runner.

“Coaches ask me: What is my secret?” he continued. I’m lucky that I have these guys.

These kids never complain. My philosophy is that you give it your best. The question is how

do you get your number seven runner to give their best on that day at state? The night before

is so special. What do I say to get them to all step up? We go into a room together and they

all look up to me.”

Baker said he emphasized that the runners had to trust their training. They had to believe

in it.

“I told them to pity those who are unprepared for battle for they will never be champions,”

he said.

Baker prepared them by their workouts which included situps, pushups, pull ups, medicine

ball drills and jump drills. He said the runners had to be prepared physically and mentally.

“I told them to be a horse and stud today. We will be fearless, strong and dangerous. We

worry about ourselves. Let the other team be afraid,” he said. “There are two types of runners; those who run for Hopi and those who wished they ran for Hopi.”

Baker also spoke to his players about the Hopi tradition reminding them that they represent

their family, village, their tribe and Hopi High School so they should run with pride.

“We are the standard. Everybody wants to beat us. The state and national record says a lot

about all of runners. The ‘87 trailblazers were the pioneers who set the standard,” he said.

Baker said he’s often asked about which team is his favorite.

“They are all my favorites, but they are all unique from day 1 in 1987 to today,” he said.

In 1990, Tilford Tungovia was Hopi’s first state champion. The 1999 team had a perfect

score at state, one of only three in the history of the U.S. to accomplish that feat.

Baker even remembered the various hairdos. He expressed appreciation for the parents

noting that one parent ran backward to keep up with the action.

“That’s the kind of support we have,” he said.

Baker said that no one does anything alone; somewhere along the way everybody gets

help. He said the runners were successful because they had help from relatives and friends,

but they also took something from the Hopi High running program as they became teachers,

judges and police officers.

“That’s what makes me proud,” he said.

Baker said Hopis are taught to be humble and his program is no different as he told his

runners they don’t need to brag about their victories.

“You’re the legends. I told you what to do and you did it without question. I just sat back

and drank my Pepsi,” he said.

Baker told his runners to be good fathers and husbands.

“Value your life. Respect your parents, grandparents and everybody and everything here

on earth,” he said. “You inspire me to keep teaching and coaching. The best two hours of my

day every day was with you guys.”

Baker said everybody was put on earth for a reason and it’s up to people to find the reason

and make the earth a better place.

“I love you. You are all my sons. I’m glad to be a part of your life and you made me a better

person. I learned a lot from you and I hope you learned a lot from me,” he said.

*** Nuvayokva thanked a dozen people for helping to make this event happen.

“It’s like planning a shotgun wedding. Everything happens so fast,” he said. “I’m excited

to see the alumni, the fraternity of runners and parents. There have been so many memories.”

Nuvayokva said Baker has been a tremendous influence.

“But I corrupted him with Pepsi,” he said. “He is my coach and my father clan wise. You

are all sitting in a roomful of history.”

*** Eskeets joked that he had to run early in order to get to this event. He pointed to an

article in Native People’s magazine that recounts the Hopi history of running. He also reminded the crowd about Louis Tewanema’s Olympic medal in 1912.

Eskeets told the crowd that the term warrior is not pejorative. He said the term is about

achievement and sacrifice, not fighting.

The next time Eskeets comes to Hopi he would like to see a “Baker Avenue.”

“There are thousands and thousands of high schools. To win 25 straight titles is unheard of.

One school was on Hopi’s heels, but stopped after 18 years. That says a lot on your behalf.

This is so special,” he said.

Eskeets recounted meeting in Baker in 1978.

“I was always amazed to watch him play different sports and excel at all of them,” he said.

“Now, Baker is a great coach.”

But Eskeets also praised Baker for his dedication to his family. He said Baker’s runners

can lean on him when their injured.

“Hopi is a powerhouse because of its spiritual running,” he said.

Eskeets said running means the beating of the wind, songs and prayers.

“You are running for your family, career and self,” he said. “I view this as a dance.”

Eskeets said Baker is no longer just a legend because a legend is unverified. He said that’s

why Baker is a “true legend.”

*** Hopi Chairman Herman Honanie called the national record a great accomplishment.

“You made Hopi proud. You made Hopi High School a legend,” he told the runners. “Coach

Baker, you taught them well. You taught them how to follow directions. Congratulations.”

Honanie spoke about Hopi having a huge tradition that the runners should be proud to be

part of. In his younger days, Honanie broke his achilles tendon so he can’t run much, but his

grandsons are great runners.

“Take care of your parents, self and children,” he told the runners.

*** Alfonso Sakeva, representing Tewa Village, said he is proud of all his good friends.

“You are the number one runners in Arizona,” he said. “I am happy to see the alumni.”

Sakeva also told the runners that without relatives they cannot succeed. He said one time

after a state cross country race someone told him that Baker lost.

“They lost the championship?” he asked. “No,” came the reply. “He lost his truck.”

Hopi Health Care and Prescott VA Sign MOU to provide health care to all Veterans on Hopi Reservation

L-R: CEO Capt. DeAlva Honahnie; Lead Health Tech/TCT Shondiin tracy; Native

American Outreach Coordinator Matt Herriman and Dr. Jeremiah Cogan with

telemedicine monitor. Monitor valued at of over $80,000.

After two years of planning and meeting to provide health services for veterans on the

Hopi reservation, the Hopi Health Care Center (HHCC) and the Prescott Veterans Affairs

(VA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Dec. 17.

Capt. DeAlva Honahnie, HHCC CEO made the announcement during the Lori Piestewa Post #80 Christmas Dinner. The HHCC and the VA are working together to plan a

celebration of the MOU and the grand opening of the Veterans Clinic inside the HHCC.

The date of the grand opening has not been set, but according to Capt. Honahnie it is

planned for the first week of February.

“The ceremony will be a short program,” said Honahnie. “We will invite dignitaries

such as tribal leadership, veterans and veterans programs.”

She also included that Donna K. Jacobs, RN, MSN/MBA, FACHE and Medical Center

Director will be one of the guest speakers at the ceremony. Jacobs was appointed Director

of the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System on March 27, 2011.

Honahnie hopes that veterans will come to celebrate the grand opening because the

clinic is for them. They hope to give a tour of the clinic to those who attend the ceremony.

The VA has been providing services at HHCC for almost a year with the mobile service

unit every Thursday. There are currently 35 veterans who have taken advantage of the

clinic rather than travelling to Prescott or Phoenix.

The clinic is open to all veterans; native and non-natives who live on the Hopi reservation or surrounding Navajo reservation.

The HHCC and the VA are trying to transition into their new location. They will be

located in “Hall C” in the telemedicine room.

Staffs who will be working in the VA clinic are Shondiin Tracy, Lead Health Tech/TCT;

Matt Herriman, Native American Outreach Coordinator; Vivian Smith, Board Certified

Nurse Practitioner; Cynthia White, Licensed Practical Nurse and Crystal Sena, Licensed

Social Worker.

Lori Piestewa Post #80 will post colors prior to the ceremony and the VA will provide

a light snack.

Navasie Cont’d from Page 1

After they married, Sequi packed his family in the wagon along with their belongings.

Sequi took his horses and sheep, which he had plenty of. They travelled towards Wind

Butte and Snake Butte.

They got to Antelope Valley and Sequi let his sheep loose and had Edna take over the

reins on the wagon.

“She was afraid,” said Navasie. “They got as far as Tsoo’pah.”

Tsoo’pah means Antelope, the original name for Jeddito Valley. (Jeddito means Antelope Springs in Navajo)

Sequi found a flat area to build a home and settle his family near the Antelope Spring.

Sequi and Edna began their lives together and started a family.

No one was living in the area. Sequi grazed his animals in the valley all the way to

Steamboat and White Cone. Navasie said the water hole near the Holbrook junction

used to be full of water.

Navasie and all her siblings were born in Tewa, but they were raised in Antelope

Springs.

“Before my mother gave birth she would go home to her mother’s in Tewa and

go through the traditional birthing ceremony and then come back to the ranch,” said

Navasie.

Edna gave birth to seven children; Audrey Honie, Cecelia (deceased), Hugh Nathan

Sequi, Helen Naha Sequi, Melvina Navasie, Vera Dallas and a baby girl who passed

away.

Navasie started school and went to Beginner School (Head Start) at Polacca Day

School. She lived with her grandmother for two years in Tewa.

“My grandmother and I would walk down the mesa to the school no matter what kind

of weather,” said Navasie. “We walked in the snow, rain, wind and heat.”

Her parents went to the Hopi Agency to ask if their children could go to school at the

Boarding School in Keams Canyon.

She was about eight or nine years old when she and her siblings went to Keams Canyon Boarding School. There were Hopi ranchers children who also went to school there.

“We suffered because the Navajo kids didn’t like the Hopi’s and we were always

fighting,” said Navasie. “The matrons would punish us Hopi’s. So I’ve been fighting

with the Navajo’s all my life.”

She learned how to speak and understand the Navajo language too.

She finished 7th grade from Keams Canyon Boarding School. During her 8th grade

year she went to school in Oraibi and her 9th grade year she went to Phoenix. She was

Phoenix for a short while when her brother was drafted into the Army. He took Navasie

out of school and brought her home to take care of her mother who was blind.

Navasie was 18 years old when she married.

“Back then, there was a lot of respect,” said Navasie.

Navasie had never met her husband, Harrington Navasie; his father had come to their

home in Antelope Springs to arrange a marriage between his son and Navasie. Her mother agreed; she was eighteen at that time.

Her mother and aunt made piki and took it to her future husbands’ family. She described it as an engagement piki because his mother who was Water clan had to accept

it and she did.

She and Harrington have a traditional wedding license from the Hopi Agency.

Navasie gave birth to 13 children; Gloria (deceased), Randy, Roderick (deceased),

Claudina, Audrey, Nate, Muriel (deceased), Orial, Alvin, Geraldine (deceased), Harriett,

Wallace (deceased) and Kevin Navasie.

Navasie said her father would talk to them every night about things that may occur.

He predicted that there will come a time when they will fight for land. It would be in his

or her lifetime.

He predicted the land dispute and the relocation.

All he wanted was land for his children and grandchildren.

There were only a few Navajos living in Keams Canyon. They were camped out near

the coal mine in Keams Canyon. The coal mine used to be across from “Louise’s” house

said Navasie. She also added that she doesn’t know when the Navajos became coal

miners.

“All they had was a shade as a home,” said Navasie.

The first district line was between Keams Canyon and Jeddito, District 6 and 7, she

does not know what year that was when they established the District line. They lived

under District 7; the Navajo side and they had to abide their law from Window Rock.

Navasie doesn’t know exactly what year that was.

Her father’s brothers and nephews lived under District 7; they were given the option

to stay in District 7 or 6. Navasie said they were afraid and they moved unto District 6.

Her father stayed in District 7 because he didn’t want to move and there was no one

living in the area when they settled there.

Sequi was a small man, but strong enough to stand up to the Navajo’s.

The Navajo’s would run over Sequi’s cornfield and ruin the crops. They stole his

horses too. When they stole his horses he went out looking for them and found them.

He got into a fight with them and they over powered him and they tied him up and hung

him upside down in an old Hogan. She doesn’t know how long he was tied up, but said

he was unconscious.

“The Navajo ladies got scared and untied him,” said Navasie.

When he came to, he didn’t know where he was. Four days after that incident he complained of headaches and they took him to the hospital and the Doctor said all his blood

went to his head which caused him to lose his speech. Her father was sent to Ganado

Hospital and was there for a month.

Navasie was 28 when her father passed away. He is buried at their old land site.

After her father passed, she said they weren’t strong enough to keep the Navajo’s from

coming onto the land at Antelope Springs.

In 1955, the Navajo’s brought their logs to build their Hogan.

Her father was not the only one who was a victim of violence from the Navajo’s. Her

brother was found dead in a ditch in Awatovi in 1975.

One day the Hopi tribe came to Navasie’s house to ask her and her husband to go to

Washington D.C. to talk to the Senators and Congressmen. .

When they went to Washington D.C. she said they didn’t get to speak to the real Senators and Congressmen, but gave as much information to the secretaries. They couldn’t

speak to the “real” Congressmen and Senators because they were busy.

The second time she went to D.C. they were going to court with the Navajo’s. There

she gave her testimony in court, but she doesn’t know if they actually read it.

During that time, the Navajo’s came to Washington D.C. in two buses and they all had

written a testimony. Their testimonies were brought into court in boxes. She was the only

one who wrote a testimony for Hopi.

The third and last time she went to Washington D.C. she went with her husband, Abott

Ruins are all that’s left of a place once called home. Vegetation, edible foods

and springs were all around, providing for family’s basic needs

Navasie relocation home sits on barren landscape

Sekaquaptewa, Nathan B., Ivan Sidney Sr. and two others.

She was told they were going to have a real court on her birthday. The court was held

on the third floor of the building.

The Navajo lawyers swore her in before she gave her testimony. He asked her questions about living in Jeddito. She told them the issues she was facing with the Navajo’s.

She was being threatened and harassed by them.

“I told them that the Navajo’s claim to live in the area for 100 of years, but my father

was the first to live in the area,” said Navasie.

On February 10, 1977, U.S. District Court for Arizona partitioned the former Joint

Use Area land to the Hopi and Navajo Tribes. The area, Antelope Spring occupied by the

Hopi families was given to the Navajos.

They were forced to relocate and the Hopi Tribal Council requested to designate sections in which the families could establish three acre home sites.

On November 20, 1978, Harrington and Melvina Navasie were given a land assignment.

When they moved to their new land site, her home and everything she had at her old

home site was appraised.

The appraisal value went towards her relocation house. She and her children were given the option of getting a house in Yuwehloo Pah’ki or in the city. Several of her children

chose a house in the city because that is where they were living and working at the time.

She had asked for 20 acres of land, but was denied. Then she asked for 15 and 10 acres

and she was denied again. She and her children were approved for three acres of land.

There were 11 people who were relocated with Navasie.

When she finally settled in her new land site, she fought with the Hopi Tribe to get

utilities to her home.

The Tobacco, Snake and water clans were not happy with Navasie because they

claimed ownership of the land she was living on. Although these clans had never lived in

the area she challenged them to come and live there, but she knew they wouldn’t because

they were used to the conveniences of electricity and running water.

When Ivan Sidney Sr. was Hopi Chairman, he pushed for the people of Yuwehloo

Pah’ki to get electricity from the Navajo Nation Utility Authority (NTUA).

Jeddito Unified School District was using generators and they needed electricity, but

NTUA had to cut through Hopi lands in order to get electricity to the school.

Sidney negotiated with the Navajo Tribe and that is how they got electricity to their

homes.

“You have to have a name where you live,” said Navasie. “So we named this area

Yuwehloo Pah’ki.”

Yuwehloo Pah’ki means Spider Mound in Tewa.

Harrington and his brother made pahos (feathers) for the Spider Mound and carried

the feathers with branches from the peach and apple trees from Navasie’s old land site.

Spider Mound became a part of the Hopi Tribe as a charter community in 2000. The

land was open to all the Hopi’s who were looking for land site.

When they moved to the area to hold the land for the Hopi Tribe, they were promised

paved roads to every house, water, electricity, a community building, and a school. They

were also promised the upkeep of their homes.

When I asked Navasie what she would like from the Hopi Tribe and the Government

she responded:

“I respect people. There are some things that have hurt me in my life and my children.

Yes, there are things I want but I’m hesitant. Life has a consequence so I choose not to

ask for anything.”

Hopi Veteran Bruce Talawyma offers Tribal Blessing at

Arizona Governor Douglas Ducey’s Inauguration

By: Donna Humetewa-Kaye , Office of the Hopi Vice Chairman

With clear skies above and the sun shining on his face, Bruce Talawyma acknowledged the sun offering a “Tribal

Blessing” during the Arizona: A Future of Opportunity 2015 Inaugural Ceremony at the State Capitol, held outdoors.

The ceremony which took place on Monday, January 6, 2015 inaugurated the first male governor, Douglas A. Ducey,

in 18 years.

Mr. Talawyma was introduced as a Hopi Veteran from Hotevilla by Derrick Hall, President and CEO of the Arizona

Diamondbacks who served as the emcee. Talawyma’s first remark was to acknowledge the warm weather as opposed

to the 10 degree temperature he left behind at home. His blessing was a five minute prayer in Hopi acknowledging the

“leaders who will now carry the people on their shoulders”. He called on the spirits to support the idea that the youth

of the state grow up in a better environment as well as to help the elected officials.

While none of the officials in their acceptance speeches spoke of the Arizona tribes it was a highlight, especially for

the Hopi Tribe to have representation on the program.

Agnese Nelms Haury scholarship Linacre College, Oxford University, UK

This Native American and First Nations scholarship provides support (tuition

fees and living costs) for indigenous students from the United States and Canada to

study for a one-year taught Masters degree at Oxford University (www.ox.ac.uk) in

the United Kingdom in association with Linacre College (www.linacre.ox.ac.uk).

Linacre College is an interdisciplinary and international graduate college. All Oxford

students are affiliated with a college as part of their studies.

Mrs. Agnese Nelms Haury (haury.arizona.edu/agnese-nelms-haury) was an American philanthropist from Tucson, Arizona and she was particularly supportive of the

education and advancement of indigenous peoples, concerned about environment

and social justice, and interested in international relations and the archaeology and

anthropology of the Americas. This scholarship is established in collaboration with

Linacre College and Oxford University as one component of the overarching Agnese

Nelms Haury program in Environment and Social Justice established by her trustees

to advance Mrs. Haury’s interests and commitments.

Eligibility: To be eligible for this scholarship, students must apply and gain admission to one of the designated Masters programs at Oxford University (see list below)

and must be an enrolled tribal member with official status in the US (state or federal)

as American Indian, Alaska Native, or in Canada as First Nation, Metis, or Inuit.

Students should indicate their interest in the scholarship in their statement of purpose

in the Masters program application and indicate that they wish admission to Linacre

College. General guidelines for applying to Oxford can be found at (http://www.

ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/applying-to-oxford/application-guide)

Deadlines: The deadlines for applications for most of the designated degrees for

entry in October 2015 are 23 January 2015 and 13 March 2015 (we strongly recommend applying by the earlier date) and information on course content, entry expectations and application can be found at the links below.

For more information potential applicants should contact the relevant directors

of the postgraduate programs of interest (see below) or may contact the program

director, Anna Spitz (aspitz@u.arizona.edu ), for the overall Agnese Nelms Haury

Program which is housed at the University of Arizona) who can also put you in touch

with people who can informally advise you on your application (e.g., former Rhodes

scholars, native students who studied at Oxford, North American students and faculty

who studied for or taught some of the designated degrees). For more information

Barbara Hawke, executive director of the Arizona Wilderness Coalition, spoke

to students in the media classes at Hopi High on Jan. 6.

Hawke said the Arizona Wilderness Coalition is important because it preserves

remote areas. Teenagers can contribute their time towards the stewardship program.

They help restore trails, give perspectives of the coalition and help in the communications and media area. Hawke became involved with wilderness when she found

out wildlife and nature are important to her. She then started to look for a job in

wilderness.

Hawke has been working for the Arizona Wilderness Coalition a little more

than a year. She said she has seen many changes in the program. They would like to

work more on wilderness stewardship, trying to involve more veterans in AWC and

working on more areas in Arizona.

Hawke’s environmental heroes include Terry Tempest Williams, an author

from Utah who has done work-preserving wilderness particularly in the west. Don

Hoffman is the Arizona Wilderness Coalition Board Director, founding member

and first executive director of AWC, so he is another environmental hero for her. He

is part of the organization and still working to preserve wilderness.

AWC’s upcoming events include showing the movie “Forever Wild” on Feb.

12 in Tucson. Doug Scott, a nationally known author, will also make an appearance at the event. There will be a stewardship project on Feb. 15 in White Canyon.

Hawke said Stewardship programs would be put on throughout the year.

The Arizona Wilderness Coalition office is located in Tucson. For more information go to AZWILD.ORG, their Facebook page (Arizona Wilderness Coalition)

meeting, Judge Delfred Leslie invited several Arizona state judges to a meeting at the Hopi Courts on December 19, 2014, to further discuss the

possibility of starting a Hopi Veterans Court. The attendees included AZ state judges, Hopi Tribal Court judges & prosecutors, VA officials,

NARBHA, VA Outreach Office-Hotevilla, Hopi Behavioral Health Services and Hopi Veterans Services. Chief Judge Gregg Maxon, Arizona

Supreme Court, provided a presentation on the Veterans Court system and even conducted a mock Veterans Court. Currently Veterans Court

have been established in various cities state-wide. Chief Judge Maxon stated they have been successful in offering alternative avenues for veterans

in the criminal system to seek treatment for substance abuse issues, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and mitigate their court charges and/or

sentences. He stressed that the Veterans Court system was voluntary for veterans and could opt for the normal court proceedings. Following the

presentation by Judge Maxon, Clark Tenakhongva gave a presentation on the Hopi cultural aspects of traditional cleansing and healing of veterans

returning from the military. In summary all attendees were in agreement to establish a Hopi Veterans Court and to collaborate in development of

from loving correction with a rod and reproof. By a rod

I do mean a stick on the bottom. With out it your child will have no wisdom. He will

be a fool and act like a fool. In the end, as our other verse states, they will only bring

you shame. You wonder why your kids act the way that they do. They do not listen

and they do not respect you, and every time they go out it seems like they only bring

shame home with them. It is because you are refusing to love them by correcting

them. Your children need you to be their parents not their friend, or person that fulfills

their every selfish desire while calling them angels. The Bible says in Proverbs, “ Pr

13:24 ¶ He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him

betimes.” Basically, if you do not correct you children you actually hate them, and

if you love them you will correct them over and over again (betimes). Love is not

shown in gifts and selfish desires, but in the willingness to correct and train a child.

Your children (and teenagers) not only need correction, but they are actually asking

for it in their own way. When you do not discipline your child, in their mind, they

are thinking my parents’ do not love me, and they do not care about me. Correction

shows you care. Gifts do not. I have asked many people which parent do you love the

most (or seem most connected to)? You would be surprised that the answer is the one

who cared enough to discipline them correctly. That stays with someone their whole

life! Love in proper correction. Brought to you by Bethel Baptist Church, Hotevilla.
