Return to Phase Two with Modified Provisions

“WHEREAS,

the Constitution and

By-laws of the Hopi Tribe, ARTICLE

VI-POWERS OF THE TRIBAL COUNCIL, SECTION 1 (a) and (b) respectively,

authorizes the Hopi Tribal Council to represent and speak for the Hopi Tribe in all

matters for the welfare of the Tribe; and

WHEREAS, it has been almost three

years since the Hopi Tribe implemented

on March 23, 2020, its first Executive Order to address the COVID-19 pandemic

that continues today to exist in evolving

virus mutation strains; and

WHEREAS, recently, the highly transmissible COVID-19 Omicron strain has

rapidly infected many people within the

United States, the State of Arizona, and

Counties of Navajo and Coconino; and

WHEREAS,

the Hopi Department

of Health & Human Services has reported that as of January 13, 2022, there are

approximately 63 .3 million positive

COVID-19 cases in the United States, of

which over 1.5 million cases are in Arizona (including over 29,629 in Navajo

County and over 32,490 in Coconino

County); and

WHEREAS, the Hopi Department of

Health & Human Services has reported

that as of January 13, 2022, there are 299

90.91 %, indicative of a high vaccination

performance rate; and

WHEREAS, per the Centers for Dis-

ease Control and Prevention (CDC), currently confirms the COVID-19 vaccines

reduce the risk of severe illness and death

among fully vaccinated people; and

WHEREAS, as health experts continue

to work to create more effective and coordinated national and international public

health systems and a way forward through

the pandemic, it has become necessary to

refocus efforts on minimizing the impact

on the health and welfare of the general

Hopi public of the COVID-19 virus as it

continues to mutate; and

WHEREAS, the Hopi Tribal Chairman is authorized pursuant to Section 770 I(2) of the Hopi Emergency Response

Hopi Tribe Foster Care February is International “Boost

Your Self-Esteem Month”

Program Outreach

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

By: Carolla Fred, Foster Care Social

Service Coordinator

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – January 23, 2022,

greetings, my name is Carolla Fred, Foster

Care Coordinator for the Hopi Social Services program under the Foster Care program. I come from the village of Shungopavi, from the Qalwungwa (Sunforehead)

clan. I have been working with Social

Services for several months, and let me

tell you; it has been a delight to work with

many Foster parents on Hopi. My role in

Foster Care is to inform the community

of the importance of Foster Care services

due to an increasing number of children in

the Foster Care system.

Being a Foster Care provider can be a

rewarding role in these children’s lives.

The Hopi Tribal Social Services Foster

Home Program ensures quality substitute

care for children whose natural families

are temporarily unable to provide them

a stable home environment. The goal of

Goster Care is to reunite children with

their biological families promptly by

providing services to children and families. There are three types of foster home

placement here on the Hopi reservation;

Emergency Foster placement, Provisional

Foster, and Regular Foster placement.

Our established goal is to recruit more

individuals to provide care for our Hopi

children through our Foster Care Program.

As the saying goes, “It takes a community

to raise a child.” So, let’s come together

and raise these children together. These

children come into the care of the Hopi

Social Services program through abso-

lutely no fault of their own. And through

fostering or adoption, families can help

provide a caring, nurturing environment

where children can heal from past experiences and trauma and grow to their fullest

potential.

People qualified to foster or adopt all

share one thing in common- The desire to

help and protect these children, allowing

them to thrive to their full potential. Like

many who become interested in fostering,

of course, there are a lot of questions that

arise and we are here to help answer those

questions.

For interested individuals, there is a

process that one must go through. The

first steps include understanding the Foster care handbook and agreements and an

application that is available to fill out. The

application, once reviewed, is followed by

an intensive background check, a home

study, a fingerprint clearance, submission of all required documents, a physical

check-up with your primary doctor, along

with much other training throughout the

process. Once all approved paperwork

and trainings are finalized, the children

can be placed in loving homes that qualify

for foster care placement.

For more information on Foster Care,

please call (928) 401-7156, or email:

CFred@hopi.nsn.us We can also meet

in person at the office site located at the

Turquoise Wells Site which is 15 miles

past the Hopi Cultural Center. Hopi Social Services appreciates all the love and

care our Foster homes provide for our

children. Many blessings to all our Hopi

Sinom who, I bid a prosperous and safe

New Year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Submitted by: Bernadean Kachinhongva, HSAPC Mentor

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – January 26, 2022, the month of February is Boost Your Self-Esteem Month. Boost Your Self-Esteem Month is recognized internationally. The increase

in use of digital and social media correlates to a growing increase of risky behaviors

among individuals worldwide. Professionals who work with these individuals recognize

the decrease in self-esteem playing a vital role in an individual’s cognitive view on life.

The HOPI Substance Abuse Prevention Center (HSAPC) recognizes there are many

ways our self-esteem can be impacted. Recently, we’ve all been impacted by the

COVID-19 pandemic and the various effects of digital media. These can be translated

as concerns and affect Hopi in different ways. HSAPC recognizes the lack of physical

and social interaction during the pandemic affects our self-esteem and overall health.

Hopis generally use all senses while interacting with each other.

Let’s face it! Many of us struggle with our self-esteem at times. In a digital world of

instant gratification and images of perceived perfection everywhere we look, self-esteem is affecting our mental health more than ever. Some simple ways of boosting your

self-esteem are:

STOP criticizing yourself, START praying

STOP comparing yourself, START a journal

START practicing gratitude, CALL a confidant

START moving (exercise and eating healthy), WATCH the sunrise/sunset

Find gratitude in the little things of your daily activities. This may help promote,

motivate, and encourage your self-esteem. Invest in yourself. Let this month be the start

of motivation to boost your self-esteem and continue boosting your self-esteem.

HSAPC provides a general restructuring of your self-esteem that is associated with

substance use. Individuals who use substances can have low self-esteem due to loved

ones expressing their concerns in a not-so-loving way. Most individuals' self-esteem

can be low as well due to negative self-talk. HSAPC services can help an individual

recognize ways to boost their self-esteem.

If you are struggling with low self-esteem please reach out to a confidant (friend,

family member, support group member, religious affiliate) or professional associate. For

more information on HSAPC services call 928-734-0300.

PREVENTION:

Below is some information regarding COVID-19 vaccinations, age recommendations, and boosters:

(TABLE ON PG 5)

“CDC is recommending that moderately or severely immunocompromised 5–11-year-olds receive an additional

primary dose of vaccine 28 days after their second shot.”

Remember that the only vaccine that 5-17 year olds are eligible for is Pfizer.

SOURCE: Different COVID-19 Vaccines – Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention

SYMPTOMS, QUARANTINE, AND ISOLATION:

Watch for Symptoms - people with COVID-19 have had

a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild

symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14

days after exposure to the virus and can range from mild to

severe. The following are COVID-19 symptoms that people

may experience:

• Fever or chills

• Cough

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Fatigue

• Muscle or body aches

• Headache

•New loss of taste or smell

•Sore throat

•Congestion or runny nose

•Nausea or vomiting

• Diarrhea

This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC

will continue to update this list as we learn more about

COVID-19. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious

complications from COVID-19 illness.”

Currently, the local health department and HHCC are

implement the previously recommended CDC guidelines

which is a 10 day isolation for those who test positive and

a 14 day quarantine for those exposed to an infected individual.

(GLOSSARY ON PG. 5)

Be aware that when someone tests positive they became

contagious 2 days before they developed symptoms, or if

they are not experiencing symptoms 2 days before they

tested positive not the day they received their results. If

someone was less than 6 feet away from a potential positive

case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a

24 hour period they would be considered a close contact regardless of whether or not both parties were wearing masks.

For example, Molly was within 6 feet of Craig on Thursday

night for 10 minutes and on Friday morning for 5 minutes.

Craig developed symptoms Saturday evening, was tested for

COVID on Monday, and received their results on Wednesday. Because Molly was within 6 feet of Craig for a total of

15 minutes over a 24 hour period within the 2 day timeframe

she is now considered to be a close contact. If you have been

identified as a close contact you may or may not need to

quarantine depending on your vaccination status.

If an unvaccinated individual that is not positive is having

to take care of someone that is infected, they will need to

quarantine for 14 days beginning on the infected person’s

10th day of isolation, with that day being Day 0 and the following day being Day 1. That means the caregiver could potentially be out of work for 24 days. If a vaccinated person

that is not positive is having to take care of someone that is

infected, they will not have to quarantine but will need to

get tested 5 days from the 10th day of the infected person’s

isolation. If a vaccinated person develops symptoms while

caring for an infected person they will need to get tested as

soon as possible and remain at home until they receive their

results.

Re-testing of COVID-19 Positive Employees. Per guidance and alignment with HHCC, CDC, state and local health

departments, and OSHA workplace guidance for COVID-19

re-testing of positive or suspected COVID-19 employees before they return to work, nor providing letters to go back to

work is not recommended.

The recommended reason for not re-testing is an individual may continue to test positive on a viral test long after they

are recovered from COVID-19. These dead viral particles

will turn viral tests positive even though they cannot cause

disease in others. The Hopi Health Care Center strongly encourages employers to use the CDC’s symptom and criteria

below even if they continue to test positive. Once they meet

the three criteria, they are no longer considered infectious to

others. However, if the employee was severely ill (hospitalized) or in immunocompromised, plead advise them to visit

their primary care provide before returning to work.

The “checklist” below has been updated as of the most

recent COVID-19 guidelines from the CDC and will be

used by employers to determine when an employee with

confirmed COVID-19 may return to work safely. For additional questions, please call the Hopi Health Care Center

COVID-19 hotline (928) 737-6188.

□ It’s been at last ten days since I first had symptoms or

received my positive diagnosis if I’ve not had symptoms

(please note date of first symptoms: (________)

□ Overall my symptoms have improved and I am feeling

better.

□ It’s been at least 72 hours since I last had a fever without

using fever-reducing medicine.

If you checked all three boxes, you are no longer a considered at risk to infect others and can go back to work!

Larry’s Corner

Don’t sweat the

small stuff...

When I was a mush head kitten, I didn’t know

any better how to control my feelings. I used to

hold grudges with my friends because they called

me names or bullied me somehow. Or I always

felt angry because my cartoon shows would sometimes not come at the exact time as promised. The

little things got me feeling angry, frustrated, or

discouraged.

When I grew up, I became more aware of my

feelings. I began to control my emotions and understand how people thought about their feelings.

I didn’t hold grudges as much, and I didn’t get

angry as much as well. I stopped doing that because I finally figured out that it takes so much

time and energy to hold a grudge or be mad about

something or at someone. I found that the amount

of time and energy it takes to have a grudge is so

wasteful and time-consuming. I found I could be

doing something productive like learning how to

swim or learning how to eat artichokes or Brussel

sprouts when So’oh made it.

If you think about it, we waste so much time and

energy hating someone that we lose all sense of

being happy and forget what happiness feels like

at the end. I learned that the same energy and time

we spend to hate or hold a grudge is the same time

we can create happy memories, not just for ourselves but also with others. When you think about

it, we use less energy to smile and be satisfied, but

we use 100% of our power to be angry and hold

grudges. That takes a lot out of someone.

See, the little things in the world are the ones

that make the most significant impact in our lives,

whether it’s good or bad. Little things can be

good, like finding a quarter on the sidewalk and

little things when something goes wrong, like a

bird pooping on your newly washed car. Little

things control our everyday lives, and we can let

them...or not.

So, for example, when you’re driving on the

road, you see a slow car, so you pass it, no big

deal, right? But when we see that slow car, and

there is oncoming traffic, we can’t pass the car,

so we start to get angry because the slow car is

going 5 miles under the speed limit. We begin to

panic, and then we begin to get frustrated, then

we start to get angry, all because we can’t pass the

slow car like we wanted to. Then our day is ruined

because we hold onto that anger, all because we

arrived at our destination a couple of minutes late.

And all because of that one little thing.

The way I see it is that anger is like a sickness

that could take us all out if we don’t control it.

It’s like that Jedi saying, “Fear is the path to the

dark side; Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.

Hate leads to suffering.” Master Yoda said that I

believe. Also, I’m pretty sure we are already on

the path to the dark side when we hold grudges

against someone or when we get angry about a

small thing.

I guess this world we live in has become that

world we see at the end of the world movies. We

are constantly fighting amongst ourselves, where

we hurt or even kill just because someone looked

at us a certain way. We can’t move forward to improve because it’s still in our animal instincts to

fight or hold someone back. Why do we do that?

In high school, I thought I was the coolest cat

on campus. I had the hair and looked like Johnathan Taylor Thomas with the body of Fabio the

Cat. So, I guess you could say that I was a teen

heartthrob back in the day. And yet, with all the

good looks and stature, I was not different from

my classmates because I still had to deal with my

cate emotions similar to human feelings of anger,

frustration, and grudges. So, you see, emotions

can affect even a teen heartthrob cat like me. I

often wonder, do celebrities have human feelings,

or is it all just an act for the camera?

So, my advice is that the little things in life can

control our lives only if we let them. It’s like a

mosquito bite; it is small, but it itches, so you

scratch it, and it becomes more prominent and

redder. And just like the little things in life, it will

stay little if we leave it alone. And it will become

more noticeable when we bother it and keep paying attention to it and giving it life. So don’t fret

the small stuff; if a sock is lying on the floor, kick

it under the couch, or if a cup is left on the coffee table, take it to the sink, and it will magically

wash itself.

Life is too important to hold grudges, get angry,

or be frustrated. I say enjoy the sun like I always

do and eat pizza occasionally. Lounge around because sometimes you need to lounge in your footie PJs, and sometimes it’s good to be less critical

in the life we live in today. Then again, running

around like a bat out of H. E. double hockey sticks

is cool to some cats…I think.

Cynthia Chavez Lamar

named director of the

National Museum of

the American Indian

News Release

National Museum of the American Indian

Cynthia Chavez Lamar has been named director of the

Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, effective February 14. She is the first Native woman

to be named as a Smithsonian museum director. Chavez

Lamar has been at the museum most recently since 2014,

and earlier in her career was a museum intern (1994)

and later an associate curator (2000–2005). She is currently the museum’s acting associate director for collections and operations. Chavez Lamar is an accomplished

curator, author and scholar whose research interests are

focused on Southwest Native art and the methodologies

and practices involved in collaborating with Indigenous

communities.

Chavez Lamar will oversee the museum’s three facilities: the National Museum of the American Indian on the

National Mall in Washington, D.C., the museum’s George

Gustav Heye Center in Lower Manhattan and the Cultural Resources Center in Suitland, Maryland. The Cultural

Resources Center houses the museum’s collections and

its curatorial and repatriation offices; laboratories and

work rooms for conservation, collections management,

registration, photography, film and video; a computer and

information-resource center; a library; and indoor and

outdoor spaces for Native cultural care practices and use

of the collections.

“Dr. Chavez Lamar is at the forefront of a growing

wave of Native American career museum professionals,”

said Lonnie Bunch, Secretary of the Smithsonian. “They

have played an important role in changing how museums

think about their obligations to Native communities and

to all communities. We look forward to Cynthia’s leadership as the National Museum of the American Indian

enters a new phase of service to the Native Peoples of the

Western Hemisphere.”

Since January 2021, Chavez Lamar has served as acting associate director for collections and operations at the

museum. She is responsible for overseeing its collections,

facilities, safety and information technology departments.

She leads efforts to ensure effective management of and

care for the museum’s collection, which is composed of

more than one million objects and photographs and more

than 500,000 digitized images, films and other media documenting Native communities, events and organizations.

“I am excited to begin my tenure as the director of the

National Museum of the American Indian,” said Chavez

Lamar. “I am looking forward to leading and working

with the museum’s experienced and dedicated staff.

Together, we will leverage the museum’s reputation to

support shared initiatives with partners in the U.S. and

around the world to amplify Indigenous knowledge and

perspectives all in the interest of further informing the

American public and international audiences of the beauty, tenacity and richness of Indigenous cultures, arts and

histories.”

From 2014 through 2020, Chavez Lamar served as

assistant director for collections at the museum. In this

role, she guided the overall stewardship of the museum’s

collection, which is one of the largest and most extensive

collections of Native and Indigenous items in the world.

Chavez Lamar led museum efforts to improve collection

access and availability by advocating for and encouraging an increase in the number of collections online. She

supported the development of a collection-information

system module to record access, care and handling instructions provided by tribal, nation and community representatives. Chavez Lamar also established and prioritized partnerships and collaboration with Native nations

and tribes and developed a loan program for tribal museum and cultural centers that provides training and technical assistance to enhance collections stewardship and

reconnects descendant communities with the museum’s

collections.

Chavez Lamar was the director of the Indian Arts Research Center at the School for Advanced Research in

Santa Fe, New Mexico, from 2007 to 2014. While there,

she raised the visibility of the 12,000-object collection

and developed institutional projects and programming to

highlight it. She also led and supported the development

of Guidelines for Collaboration to assist Native communities in accessing museum collections and museums

working collaboratively with them.

From 2006 to 2007, she was the director of the Indian

Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

From 2000 to 2005, Chavez Lamar was an associate

curator at the National Museum of the American Indian

and the lead curator for “Our Lives,” one of the inaugural exhibitions in the Washington, D.C., museum when it

opened in 2004. She collaborated with eight Native communities on the exhibition.

Chavez Lamar was a presidential appointee to the Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and

Arts Development in 2011. She was a governor’s appointee as a commissioner to the New Mexico Arts Commission from 2009 to 2012. She currently sits on the advisory group for Indigenous North America at the Princeton

University Art Museum, and she is a member of the advisory board at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at

Colorado College.

Chavez Lamar is an enrolled member at San Felipe

Pueblo, and her ancestry also includes Hopi, Tewa and

Navajo on the maternal side of her family. She earned a

bachelor’s degree from Colorado College in studio art, a

master’s degree in American Indian studies from UCLA

and a doctorate in American studies from the University

of New Mexico. She also received an honorary doctorate

from Colorado College for her contributions to the museum field.

Chavez Lamar is the third director of the National Museum of the American Indian. She succeeds Kevin Gover

(Pawnee), who served as director from December 2007

until January 2021. He is now the Smithsonian’s Under

Secretary for Museums and Culture. The founding director was W. Richard West Jr. (Southern Cheyenne), who

led the museum from 1990 to 2007. Machel Monenerkit

has served as acting director of the National Museum of

the American Indian since Gover left in January 2021.
