Louella Nahsonhoya

Hopi Tutuveni

By a majority vote of 12

in favor, 4 opposed and 0

abstaining, the Hopi Tribal

Council approved Resolution H-110-2016, authorizing and directing Hopi

Chairman Herman G.

Honanie to request a State

Gaming Compact with the

State of Arizona and the

Hopi Tribe.

With a declining revenue, the Hopi Tribal Council continues to discuss

and pursue economic development opportunities,

as a priority, to maintain

a balanced tribal budget

consistent with the purpose of serving the welfare

of the Hopi people.

On Aug. 6, 2015, the

Council created a Hopi

Gaming Task Team with

the assignment of exploring the Advantages and

Benefits of Tribal Gaming

and the leasing of Hopi

gaming machines to Tribes

who already have established Casinos.

The Team visited and

met with several Gaming

Tribes and compiled a Final Report which they presented to the Tribal Council on October 3; after they

had presented their findings to the Hopi people at

Village meetings and also

in Phoenix, Flagstaff and

Albuquerque.

The Council accepted

the Report and the Recommendations of the Task

Team in which they recommended the Hopi Tribe

enter a Gaming Compact

with the State of Arizona.

Due to the shortfall in the

Hopi Tribe’s Revenue, the

Budget Oversight Team

(BOT), chaired by Vice

Chairman Alfred Lomahquahu, Jr. was directed to

complete a proposed FY

2017 budget with a 12%

cut from the FY 2016

approved budget. Challenged with the reduced

revenue and directive from

After several months of

work and careful review

of all budget proposals, the

BOT, spearheaded by Budget Analyst Wilfred Gaseoma, presented the first

recommended budget to

Council for a preliminary

review in October. At that

time, the Council made

their “priority” recommendations to either cut and/or

Obama should protect

Grand Canyon while

there’s still time

By: Rep. Paul M. Grualva (D-AZ) and

Hopi Chairman Herman G. Honanie

The Grand Canyon is recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage

Site thanks in large part

to its unsurpassed beauty,

which encompasses extensive stretches of old-growth

forests, unique geologic

features and pristine watersheds. Thousands of plant,

animal and aquatic species,

some of which are found nowhere else on Earth, thrive

above and below the canyon

rim, right down to the Colorado River itself. The area

has been home to humans

for more than 12,000 years,

a span that includes some of

the earliest known cultures

here in North America.

The Hopi tribe considers

the Grand Canyon a place of

origin, a spiritual home and

sanctuary of cultural tradition. The tribe’s history and

culture cannot be separated

from it. For generations the

entire community has considered the Canyon hallowed

ground. Few issues unite

the tribe like the continued

preservation of the Grand

Canyon and the surrounding

area, and that’s why today

the Hopi strongly support

the proposed Greater Grand

Canyon Heritage National

Monument. President Obama

should use his power under

the Antiquities Act to establish this monument and protect this sensitive land while

there’s still time.

Hopi ancestors left behind abundant and tangible

proof of their existence here.

These footprints of Hopi history include ancient villages,

migration routes, artifacts,

petroglyphs and the physical

remains of buried ancestors.

These are remembered and

maintained through oral tradition, pilgrimage, song and

prayer. Among the many other values a well-preserved

Grand Canyon provides the

people of this nation and our

entire planet, these culturally important places must

be protected to ensure Hopi

people can continue to interact with their ancestral

past. This interaction forms

a living connection between

Hopi people, their ancestors

and the Grand Canyon itself,

which is just as important today as it has ever been.

This connection continually reminds Hopi of the responsibility to preserve essential

qualities of life: clean air and

water, unspoiled wilderness

- and the peace of mind that

comes with knowing future

generations will enjoy these

same gifts. The Hopi tribe

is aware these qualities are

under continued ecological

threat from uranium mining,

unregulated

development,

loss of old-growth forests and

the degradation of watershed

areas. The Greater Grand

Canyon Heritage National

Monument will end those

threats and protect one of the

world’s greatest unspoiled

natural areas once and for all.

When the balance of nature is disrupted, especially

by something as dramatic as

the construction of a mine or

the diversion of a river, the

landscape cannot simply be

put back together as it once

was. Such impacts negatively affect not only the natural

and cultural values of the

Grand Canyon region, but

the spiritual values that are

at the heart of Hopi tradition.

That’s why Chairman

Honanie hand-delivered a

letter to President Obama in

April urging him to establish

the Greater Grand Canyon

Heritage National Monument

before he leaves office. It applauded his efforts to recognize and preserve culturally

important Native American

sites around the country and

asked him to “afford the

Hopi, and all other Tribal

Nations that hold the Grand

Canyon as sacred, the same

respect and dignity by bestowing Monument status

on the Grand Canyon watershed.”

The Hopi tribe is firmly

committed to working with

presidential staff, congressional representatives, federal, state and local agencies in

the development of this monument. In doing so, the tribe

will rely on its traditional

values of humility, cooperation, dedication and mutual

foundation of its unified call

for the protection and preservation of lands that remain

as important to the Hopi cultural landscape today as they

have been for centuries.

Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva

member of the House Committee on Natural Resources. Herman Honanie is the

chairman of the Hopi tribe.

FMES students

Cont’d from P1

The group spoke of the

consequences of unsafe water to young children and

youth who still have strong

bodies. They also talked

about the effects on babies

from nursing mothers as

well as the unborn.

The group is in strong

support of completing the

Hopi Arsenic Mitigation

Project (HAMP) and encouraged Tribal Council to

prioritize water issues and

appropriate H-13 Tribal

funds to support completion of the Project. To date,

two wells have been drilled

near the Turquoise trail area

through funding provided

by the EPA. Because of the

Tribe’s incomplete financial

audits, it has been a challenge to apply for Grants.

Before the group concluded, they told the Council to expect their continued

presence and challenged the

Council to provide quarterly updates to the Hopi

people on their efforts to

resolve the water conditions

and bring clean, safe water

to the community.

In their classrooms,

FMES students wrote letters to Tribal officials about

their concerns and learned

that members of the Hopi-Tewa community movement would be attending a

Council meeting on Nov.

21. Honyouti’s 6th grade

class was invited to attend

and present their letters of

concern.

“I knew this would be

a tremendous opportunity

for the students to pursue

an active role in their community,” said Hoyouti.

The children spoke and

and the Council took to

heart what they had to say.

3rd grade students made

posters and presented each

Council member with a

poster. Messages on the

posters were inscribed with

essays and pictures of the

importance of water. Two

students, Sheldon Joseph,

3rd Grade (Sichomovi Village) and Luther Emerson

Jr., 6th Grade (Shungopavi

Village) read their letters

aloud to the Tribal Council.

One student stated: “The elders and adults always talk

about doing things for future

generations, our children

and our children’s children.

We are the children they are

talking about.”

“This moment is the first

of many where the students will be working to

make a change,” said Honyouti. “They understand

their actions and words

are purposeful. I am very

proud of these students.”

Before leaving, the children recited their Daily

Pledge to Tribal Council:

First Mesa Elementary School

6th Grade

Daily Pledge

Today is going to be a great day.

I thank the Creator for waking me up today.

I’m going to school so I can learn, go to college,

and be the leader that the Creator

has made me to be.

Today I will be empowered by my teachers,

with the tools to be successful within my village

and throughout the country.

I will apply myself daily. I study and ask questions when I don’t understand.

When I’m confronted with a problem or conflict,

I think before I react.

I will ignore all negative influences in the classroom and throughout the school day.

tion

I’m extremely proud to be the next generaof Hopi and Tewa leaders.

I accept responsibility and I love the challenge.

Hopi Department of Transportation awarded COPYIGHT

funding for Sign Upgrade and Replacement Project The Tutuveni holds the copyright to all artiCrystal Dee

Hopi Tututuveni

The Hopi Department

of Transportation (HDOT)

submitted an application

to the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)

to receive funds for signage

upgrades and replacement,

and stripping. The Sign

Upgrade and Replacement

Project and Stripping Project are sponsored by the

Northern Arizona Council

of Governance (NACOG),

which the Hopi Tribe is a

member of. HDOT was approved for the sign upgrade

and replacement project at

100% with no matching

funds required.

“The Highway Safety Improvement Program

(HSIP) is a core Federal-aid

program, and the goal of

the program is to achieve

a significant reduction in

traffic fatalities and serious

injuries on all public roads,

including non-State-owned

public roads and roads on

tribal lands. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving

highway safety on all public roads that focuses on

performance.” (U.S. Dept

of Transportation)

Michael Lomayaktewa,

Director of HDOT said

these funds were available

to tribes, but only Hopi and

Navajo applied.

“We were required to

take inventory of all the

signs within the villages

and major roadways,” said

Lomayaktewa. “We also

included the state highway

in the inventory as well.”

Both Hopi and Navajo tribe will split $50K

in FY2017 for the design

phase of the sign replacement project and then an

additional $500K plus for

construction.

“Right now there is no

set amount of how much

money Hopi will receive,

but our submission is that

we have done all of our

footwork already,” said

Lomayaktewa. “NACOG

did inform us that a majority of our signs were

approved for replacement.”

Lomayaktewa said getting funds to replace the

signs is significant because

individual signs are costly to replace. A standard

speed limit sign can cost

anywhere from $75-$125,

and that is not including

the post (hardware).

“We currently have old

signs that are ineffective

during the evening and

weather related events because of the lack of reflectivity,” said Lomayaktewa.

“Having proper signage

will help to reduce traffic

fatalities and serious injuries.”

Signs that will be replaced are regulatory signs

such as stop signs, speed

limit signs, yield signs and

cautionary signs; and information signs and mile

markers.

The actual construction

of the sign replacement

and upgrade will take place

in 2018; Hopi will contract

with the State who will replace all the signs. The new

signs will be whatever the

standard is at the time of

replacement.

Hopi was not approved

for the Stripping Project

because they did not meet

the requirement which

was a systematic approach

where all of the roads had

to be interconnected.

“If we had known that,

we could have used the

state highway to be restripped and we would

have met that eligibility,”

said Lomayaktewa. “We

will have to wait for the

next opportunity and we

will submit another application.”

Lomayaktewa added being approved for the signage project was made possible through everyone’s

work in the passage of the

“Hopi Strategic Highway

Safety Plan”. This safety

plan will be useful in sharing certain traffic fatalities

that can be used in data reporting to make improvements on Hopi roadways.

“Crash data collection is

very important to us,” said

Lomayaktewa. “This will

also help first responders

when they come upon an

accident and finding the

cause. We are educating

one another.”

Lomayaktewa reminds

everyone to eliminate cellphone use while driving; he

hopes to start a campaign

on this in the near future.

Student honorees at Creating Pathways event

The Hopi Education

Endowment Fund (HEEF)

saw an eventful month

of October. During that

month, the HEEF held its

13th annual Alumni Challenge, and also hosted its

3rd annual student & donor recognition event, in

addition to holding its annual public meeting and

electing new officers to

its Executive Committee

(EC). The student & donor recognition event and

the annual meeting were

both held in Tucson at the

University of Arizona, on

October 21st and 22nd, respectively.

At the annual meeting,

the HEEF board members

and staff convened to discuss the HEEF’s work over

the past year. HEEF staff

and board (and others in

attendance) also received

updates from HTGSP and

portfolio information from

Merrill Lynch.

One of the main highlights of the meeting was

the ratification of newly

elected members. Tessie Moate (Kykotsmovi),

Candace Hamana (Moencopi), Carrie Watahomigie

ANNOUNCEMENTS

(Shungopavi), Wanda Jean

Lord, and Jana Wilbricht

were the five new members elected. Re-elected

members include Romalita

Laban (Walpi), Dr. Angela

Gonzales (Shungopavi),

Janet Regner, Dr. Pam

Powell, and Dr. Kim Kahe-Corkin (Sipaulovi) who

served as EC president

from 2015-2016.

Officers for the 20162017 term were elected

by the The HEEF EC on

October 26th. The EC is

responsible for overseeing

the Fund and providing

guidance and leadership

for the HEEF. Taking Dr.

Corkin’s spot as president

is Romalita Laban, who

formerly served as vice

president. Laban currently

serves as First Mesa Representative on the Hopi Jr/

Sr High School Board.

Other HEEF EC officers elected include Trevor Reed (Hotevilla) - vice

president, Capt. DeAlva

Honahnie (Oraibi) - treasurer, and Debbie Nez

Manuel - secretary. Reed

is a former HEEF recipient

who is currently working

towards a doctoral degree

from Columbia University.

Capt. Honahnie formerly

served as CEO of Hopi

Health Care Center. Manuel currently works as Executive Director of Morning

Star Leaders, Inc.

Members whose board

terms ended include Dr.

Jeremy Garcia, Debbie

Onsae and Arvis Myron.

LuAnn Leonard, HEEF

Executive Director, wished

to express thanks to all

the outgoing HEEF board

members. “Askwalí to all

of our members for their

selfless commitment of

time and energy and other

resources given to support

the HEEF’s mission,” said

Leonard.

As a way of showing

thanks to its students and

donors, the HEEF themed

its fall event “Creating

Pathways…”. The theme

was meant to be representative of those who help

pave the way for future

generations to receive an

education.

During the event, students in the Tucson area

who currently receive

funding from the Hopi

Tribe Grants & Scholar-

ships Program (HTGSP)

were given certificates and

gift bags. SRP and Peabody Energy, who sponsored the event, presented a check for $200,000

for the 2016 scholarship

awards. The event also

included a successful silent auction, which raised

over $1700 and consisted

of several pieces donated

by Hopi artists and other

generous donors.

Another fundraising effort at the event was the

conclusion of the HEEF

Alumni Challenge, which

is a fundraising competition among the three Arizona universities and other

schools across the country.

The competition began

on October 7th and ended

with the Arizona Crushers

(alumni from non-AZ universities) being announced

as the winners. The challenge raised over $4,000,

due in large part to donations and support from

HEEF board members.

Hopi High School’s

cheerleading had one of its

best years last year when

they competed at regionals, held a little girl cheer

camp, performed stunts

for Second Mesa Day

School and brought spirit

to Hopi Jr/Sr High School.

But Coach Jessica Erales

left earlier this year and

the cheerleaders have been

searching for their identity

since that time.

About 18 students have

gone out for the basketball season cheerleading

squad.

“That’s the most we ever

had,” Capt. Greta Quotskuyva said about the

squad.

Larren Masayesva joins

Quotskuyva as co-captains

and seven returners join

the cheerleading unit.

Quotskuyva said cheerleading is important because cheerleaders serve

as ambassadors representing the school, the community and themselves.

“Our goals are to try to

build confidence, make

the cheerleaders outgoing,

aware of their surroundings and better people,” she

said.

Quotskuyva doubts that

the Hopi High cheerleaders will enter any competitions this year.

“This year is nothing like

last year. This year it’s

more on me. I am showing the girls what to do,

how to do their cheers and

their forms. It’s stressing

me because some of the

girls have attitude. I never

had attitude with the past

girls,” she said.

Quotskuyva said if she

keeps pushing the cheerleaders, and having late

practices, that they will get

the job done.

She said the best part of

cheerleading is the performances including dancing,

yelling, showing school

support, being at the

games and watching everything that happens.

“It’s cool.I like it,” she

said.

Quotkuyva said this season is like starting all over.

Hopi Senom Transit Coochise runs in New Enforcement Services

starts weekend trial York City Marathon October Arrest Record

run to Flagstaff

Louella Nahsonhoya

Hopi Tutuveni

Crystal Dee

Hopi Tutuveni

The Hopi Senom Transit started a weekend trial run

into Flagstaff last month to see how many riders they

would get.

Shawn Silas, Transit Supervisor said the trial run is

on volunteer basis because the drivers work 40 hours a

week, but is hoping to hire a part-time driver to do the

weekend route next year.

There will be another trial run on Dec. 10 starting at

7:10 am from the Hopi Police Department with stops

at Circle M, Second Mesa Post Office, Hopi Cultural

Center, Seba Dalkai Jct. 87, Rt. 87 and N50 crossroad,

Winslow Wal-Mart and Kachina Square. The weekend

fare is a flat rate of $4.00.

The first trial run had seven to eight passengers with

additional passengers getting on in Winslow to Flagstaff

where there was a layover of five to six hours.

Silas said they would like to keep the weekend route

going, but due to the shortage of staff they are not able

to.

“The drivers get paid for working on the weekend, but

since they already worked 40 hours it’s up to them if

they want to work,” said Silas. “It’s all on a volunteer

basis.”

The Hopi Senom Transit is in the process of hiring

a Service Technician and is also looking into hiring a

temporary driver.

“We are looking for someone who is willing to work

30 hours a week; driving the weekend route and when

the other drivers are on leave,” said Silas.

Another service the Transit offers is what they call a

“deviated fixed route”, meaning they can make stops

other than their designated stops along their routes.

Silas said they get calls from riders to be picked up

along the route or requests from elders and people with

disabilities to be picked up at their homes.

“That is at the discretion of the driver to determine

if the bus can make to the front door of these homes

because the bus is big and needs enough space to turn

around,” said Silas.

A new route to Tuba City was added in September

with a full-time driver who makes two trips a day. Silas

said the ridership for that route fluctuates and hopes it

will increase.

There are three stops in Tuba City; the Hospital, Basha’s and the Honahni Building in Moencopi.

Next year, Silas said they will use the Greyhound terminal in Flagstaff which will meet up with the bus coming in from Phoenix and Las Vegas.

Flagstaff will have two drop off points; Kachina

Square and Greyhound Terminal. This is made possible

through the Inter-City funding.

Donovan Gomez, Director of the Hopi Senom Transit

said they are looking at ways to serve the community

better.

“That is what our program is for; to serve the community not only on the weekdays, but on the weekends as

well,” said Gomez.

Code Talking with American Indian Language

Development Institute-AILDI: A Conversation

with Clark Tenakhongva and Sheilah E. Nicholas

By Maya Patterson, Online and Marketing

Content Intern for Worlds of Words

TUCSON, ARIZ. – The

American Indian Language

Development

Institute

presents Code Talking with

AILDI: A Conversation

with Clark Tenakhongva and Sheilah E. Nicholas from 3 to 4 p.m. on

Wednesday, December 7 at

Worlds of Words (WOW).

On this 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl

Harbor, Tenakhongva and

Nicholas will discuss the

importance of the Hopi

language during World

War II and the power of

American Indian language

diversity.

“The words the code

talkers used are powerful

and life sustaining,” says

Tenakhongva. “At the

same time, they contributed to the end of the war-and to the end of lives.”

Tenakhongva is with

The Hopi Veterans Affairs

and a veteran of the U.S.

Army. He will share the

lesser-known experiences of Hopi code talkers,

the complicated motivations for their service and

reflections on how their

service may conflict with

cultural values. Nicholas

is an associate professor

in the University of Arizona College of Education in Teaching, Learning

and Sociocultural Studies.

Her area of expertise and

research background in-

cludes language diversity

and cultural studies.

WOW partnered with

AILDI for their current exhibition, “Code Making and

Perspective Taking.” The

display includes historical

documents and photographs

about the contribution to

the war effort by American

Indians from many nations

and is provided by the Hopi

Veterans Services and Hopi

Cultural Preservation Office, The Hopi Tribe.

As part of the display,

questions and reflections

on the military service of

American Indians are collected. One participant

asks, “I see that you have a

book full of names of peo-

ple who helped create the

codes that helped the U.S.

win WWI and WWII. So

why is it that these names

and what they stand for are

not in our history books?”

Tenakhongva and Nicholas

will address questions such

as these as well as others

brought to the conversation.

This event is free and

open to the public. Light

refreshments will be provided. AILDI and WOW

are part of the Department

of Teaching, Learning and

Sociocultural Studies in

the University of Arizona

College of Education and

the event is a partnership

between AILDI, WOW

and the TLS Café.
