Little

Hopi Tribe Completes 2017 Audits

Colorado

River

Settlement

Second and

Third Week

Update

OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KYKOTSMOVI, ARIZ The Hopi Little Colorado River

water rights trial continued into

its second week on September

18, 2018.

The week began with the continuing testimony of Chris Banet

who is the BIA official overseeing Indian Water Right trials

and settlements in the Southwest. Chris Banet testified about

water used by Peabody Coal in

its mining operations, and how

their water use (currently 1225acre feet a year) should be split

between the Hopi Tribe and the

Navajo Nation. Currently, water payments are paid 50/50 to

the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo

Nation, regardless of where water wells are located. The U.S.

Government wants to split the

water Peabody uses between

the Navajo Nation and Hopi

Tribe based on land ownership,

including the joint ownership

of the Partitioned Land minerals. That split would give the

Hopi Tribe a little over 30% of

the water Peabody uses. The

Hopi Tribe is arguing the payments are due to contract, and

the Court should not interfere

with the contract. If it is going

to split the water payments, they

should be split according to the

contract, 50/50.

Chris Banet also testified as

to water for livestock. All the

parties agree that it takes 20 gallons of produced water a day to

water livestock. Based on the

highest number of livestock on

the Reservation books, which

was 1997, the U.S. Government

is asking for 346-acre feet of

water for livestock.

Paul Hamei next testified for

the U.S. Government. His subject was the maximum amount

of water the Hopi Tribe used

in the past for domestic, commercial, municipal and industrial uses. This is known as

“DCMI.” He testified to historic amounts the Hopi Tribe’s municipal wells had taken from the

N aquifer, the amounts Moencopi had taken from the C aquifer,

and the amounts that

KYKOTSMOVI, ARIZ. –

September 19, 2018, Daniel

Honahni, Executive Director

– Hopi Tribe held his final Executive Director’s meeting with

programs and departments prior

to retiring on Friday, September

28, 2018. After sharing some

perspectives of how managing

people in a tribal government

setting is similar in many ways

to being disciplined via the Hopi

cultural teachings, carrying out

different cultural roles and lessons learned from those settings,

Honahni carried out the meeting

in his usual manner of providing updates and news for those

in attendance. Some very good

news included reporting that as

of September 18, 2018 the 2017

Hopi Tribal Audits are complete

and will be submitted the week

of September twenty-third. Honani mentioned that since his hire

as Executive Director, his focus

has been to get the tribal audits

up to date which did occur prior

to his leaving. He also emphasized his appreciation to the Office of Financial Management,

OFM staff, through the direction

of Cheryl Tootsie, for getting the

monumental task completed.

An overall goal emphasized

to all directors was to avoid becoming complacent. Below is a

list of updates provided during

the meeting but is not all inclusive:

•Future of NGS is uncertain

with definite shortfalls if full

closure is a result. Hopi Tribe

was getting on average $14 million/year and for the next year

it can expect approximately $7

million short of the annual average. Having audits complete

is a plus in compensating for

shortfall, however, only if Tribe

doesn’t get complacent in ensuring the audits are kept up to date.

GOAL – Don’t become complacent!

•Follow policies and regulations. Not following policies and

regulations is what got Tribe so

far behind on audits. Due to having to implement

corrective actions, which is time consuming, this impacted ability for the

Tribe to get caught up. Directors need

to emphasize to staff the importance of

following policy and regulations.

•A request will be sent to all contract

programs for contracts to be reviewed

and/or reassessed; majority not done

since 1988. The amendments need to

be made on a yearly basis. Although

this will be a big task for Contract programs, it needs to be done for all Tribe’s

638 Contracts and via Office of General

Counsel and Office of Financial Management on a consistent basis. It needs to

be done so that the Tribe’s position can

be improved as there are so many opportunities which can be taken advantage of

and requiring pro-activity.

•Continue to have end balances of

close out of budgets reconciled to match

CUFF and Finance reports. OFM is

continuing to observe huge amounts in

the Contract/Grants programs line items

at end of year so programs need to attend

to and monitor spending and ensure it is

getting done and not sitting until the last

minute. Those particular programs require the spending of the funds so more

funds can come to the Tribe.

•Managers have responsibility to

modify budgets to cover other expenses; i.e. holding off on “want” line items

when emphasis should be on “needed”

items. An emphasis for better oversight

of budgets was made. In addition, the

ED reminded Directors that discipline

was needed to challenge them and staff

to determine the true needs of the department. Thus aiding in reaching the purpose rather than focusing on the wants.

•All programs are “Tribal Government” for the Hopi People We Serve;

don’t be territorial, share your resources

with one another. It’s not the program’s

funds but rather the Hopi People service

funds.

•Action: Inform the Executive Director’s office what excess funds will be

used for this last quarter.

•Inform staff on the importance and

roles of Human Resources, Finance, Information Technology and Facilities.

•2019 Appropriations Language will

prohibit Cost of Living Adjustment and

merit increases; across the board for all

Tribal programs.

•Self-discipline is a key to ensuring

compliance within tribal government

and functions.

•Request for Proposal and Sole Source

– Directors were asked to remind staff

to review the policies and procedures for

clear and better understanding.

•Consulting expenses do not count in

the calculation for Indirect Cost rates. If

used; lesser funds will be available to

help the people. Consulting expenses are

considered “pass through” dollars, therefore are not considered when calculating

the IDC rate.

•Research how to improve Navajo

Billing reimbursements; the process is

4-5 years behind due to challenges from

the Navajo Tribe which always appeals

and stalls the process. However, interest

is added to reimbursements. A reminder that a number of projects could have

been further along if a Legal Surveyor

was hired through the Navajo Billings

funds a while back. ED encouraged Directors to research that possibility and

get it done to ensure projects and developments don’t get stagnate.

•Managers/Directors always just “try”

to complete assignments/projects. No

more excuses. We are in a “systemic”

climate of processes. ED encouraged

Directors to keep doing their best even

though through their efforts they may

feel they are not making progress, they

are truly impacting the people. ED encouraged Directors to not just keep

trying but to make change happen by

not being complacent. ED referenced a

statement made by one of the Directors

in describing the Tribal system as “systemic.”

•Updated Security Policy is forthcoming this month. Badges will be mandatory for entry in buildings; start informing

your staff. If they don’t have one, they

will be denied entry and required to report to their supervisor. All were reminded to wear their Hopi Tribal Employee

badges at all times while at work.

•The vehicle maintenance yard for at

Solid Waste is on-going and will continue operating and servicing Tribal

vehicles. Office of Mineral Mining Resources will remain in place at current

location, as a result of obtaining another

lease via Village of Kykotsmovi. No information as to how long the lease was

signed for was provided.

•Tawa’ovi and HAMP projects are

on-going. Tawa’ovi will eventually be

separate entity with a board slated for

further development and the hope is that

the projects don’t compete with each

other for the sake of getting development

done for the benefit of the Tribe and people. IHS has provided some funding for

portions of the HAMP project with completion done within the next 3-5 years.

•Proposed 638 Project to take over

Hopi Health Care still on-going with

more funding needed for start-up.

•Gaming, Chairman’s office has staff

person to begin the process.

•Tax Initiatives - Hopi Tribal Council

has authority to execute the directive to

begin process, if that is goal.

•Rangers to become 638 has started

with “Letter of Intent” to BIA Area Office; 90 days for BIA to reply formally.

•Revised Finance, HR and IT policies

in final reviews and projected to be place

on HTC agenda in October.

•Action: All programs to write memo

and provide to ED office on recommendations for revising Hopi Tribal Organizational Chart.

MANAGING EDITOR

KYKOTSMOVI, Ariz. – September

19, 2018, Arizona Congressman Tom

O’Halleran visited the Hopi Tribe to

meet with Chairman Tim Nuvangyaoma and staff. Other Tribal departments,

programs and committees represented

included the Hopi Tribal Chief Judge’s

Office, Office of General Counsel, Office

of Community Planning and Economic

Development/Land Information Systems, Hopi Utilities Corporation (HUC),

Hopi Renewable Energy Office, Water &

Energy Committee, and Bureau of Indian

Affairs – Keams Canyon Service Unit.

O’Halleran provided an overview and

handout describing the various measures

his office has taken towards “Standing

Up for Native American Communities.”

The handout included a list of work

which has been done by O’Halleran’s

office surrounding the various issues of

Investing in Tribal Health Care, Fighting for Jobs in Indian Country, Investing

in Tribal Communities, Giving Tribes

and Nations a Voice in Congress, Improving Care for Native American Veterans, Strengthening Tribal Education

Programs, Protecting Native American

Families, Defending Against Cuts to

Veterans, Holding the VA Accountable,

Improving Benefits and Access to Care,

and Leading to Help Rural and Tribal

Veterans.

Hopi Tribal Chairman Nuvangyaoma

steered the conversation and discussion

towards the topic of the 1996 Land Settlement and asked the Congressman’s

position on the issue. O’Halleran mentioned discussions with the City of Flagstaff Council, which was currently on

recess, and that they want resolve and are

willing to continue with discussions with

a goal of moving into Part 2 of the settlement. O’Halleran mentioned discussions

with Flagstaff Council member Archuleta and the Flagstaff City Mayor who also

expressed concerns for bringing closure

to the issue to help in positively impacting economic development by connecting with Hopi.

Chairman Nuvangyaoma mentioned

that Hopi is spearheading movement and

options not only for economic development but on water issues such as the Little Colorado River Settlement Hearings

and the Hopi Arsenic Mitigation Project

which he explained, Timothy Bodell,

HUC Utility Director was present to report on. Bodell presented a map of the

wells which are in need of development

and connection to First Mesa and Second Mesa areas for the HAMP project

to continue. Bodell further explained

that connections to the Hopi Jr./Sr. High

School, Bureau of Indian Affairs Hopi

Agency, Second Mesa Day School and/

or the Hopi Cultural Center areas cannot be connected to via current HAMP

funding from Indian Health Services

and Environmental Protect Agency grant

which excludes new development areas

or existing commercial and institutional facilities. Bodell mentioned that $16

million more could secure development

of a loop system that could ensure all future water needs are met. Congressman

O’Halleran informed Hopi that he is still

working on getting a potential allocation

for the HAMP project from the current

2018 Omnibus Bill.

Discussions in relation to the HAMP

project and other agencies being impacted by limited connections to water sources led into the topic of the BIA-Hopi

Detention Center located at the Keams

Canyon and the latest updates on the status of the facility.

Chairman Nuvangyaoma directed

questions about the progress on the temporary inmate holding facility to BIA

Representatives who were present. BIA

representatives reported that as of September 4, 2018 documentation addressing specific corrections to the two temporary modular facilities was received.

According to the BIA Reps, the items

consisted of a door, a shower and signs

which were scheduled for fixing by the

end of September 2018. For staff to occupy the space it was reported that the

telephone system and radio were scheduled to be ready by the week of September 23, 2018. O’Halleran asked about the

issues needing corrections to which the

BIA Reps confirmed as not being safety issues but rather secondary in nature.

One other issue of concern which received attention was the gates surrounding the temporary modular facilities. The

BIA Reps ensured the group that BIA Facilities crews reported that the gates meet

the need.

Further discussion about the BIA processes for project completion included mention of the “Black Out” period

during which any projects are placed on

hold while projects have to be reauthorized when the BIA Fiscal Year restarts.

During the period, BIA Reps explained,

nothing can be done on the projects. Also

while funding has been earmarked, as

in the case of the temporary holding facility for housing, the sewer lagoon and

water lines, due to the BIA cycle being

on “Black Out” status, nothing can be

done during the two-week cycle and all

financial transactions stop. O’Halleran

expressed that he had never heard of

such a process and system and would be

looking into it. Chairman Nuvangyaoma

expressed the need to be proactive, as

historically on Hopi temporary BIA facilities seem to become permanent, and

requested that an update be provided

after the “Black Out” period is over so

that the information could be shared with

O’Halleran, as well. O’Halleran also reminded the group that while funds can be

earmarked that does not guarantee they

will not get “yanked” thus proactivity towards getting projects is a must.

Other issues mentioned by Water &

Energy Committee members included

concerns for Hopi being land locked

because of actions by the U.S. Government, being surrounded by other tribes

and the Little Colorado River Settlement

issue. O’Halleran expressed the need for

proactivity and concerns for not being

surprised about any of the issues. He encouraged Hopi to stay in touch with his

office.

O’Halleran stated, “I am always grateful for the warm welcome I receive when

I visit the Hopi Reservation, and I am

thankful for the opportunity to continue

discussing important local issues with

Chairman Nuvangyaoma and to further

strengthen the relationship between our

two governments. I firmly believe the

federal government has a responsibility

to uphold its trust obligations with the

Hopi Tribe, which is why my staff and

I have been working closely with Hopi

leadership and the Bureau of Indian Affairs to address the ongoing issues the

Tribe is facing. Ensuring communities

have access to clean drinking water is

imperative to the health and wellbeing of

every person living on the Hopi Reservation. The Hopi Tribe must also have the

funding necessary to build a permanent

detention center that will give families

the sense of security they deserve. Additionally, we are willing to work with

tribal and local stakeholders to address

the concerns of all the parties involved

in the ’96 Act.”

October 2, 2018

Hopi Tutuveni

Little Colorado River Update, Cont

Hopi People had hauled from various

other sources to their homes. The total

is about 581-acre feet.

Finally, the U.S. Government called

the first of three witnesses who will testify as to the amount of surface water

that the Hopi Tribe has taken from the

Northern Washes for traditional agriculture. Brent Cody, a hydrologist consultant for the government, ran a USGS

computer model to model the surface

run-off from 1949 to 2014 in the Northern Washes. Hopi’s lawyer criticized

his failure to consider the much deeper

historical past of the Hopi Tribe; and his

oversight at running a model when for

much of the period the Hopi Reservation

was in drought.

The Court made a significant ruling

this week which will greatly shorten the

trial. Prior to trial, the Court was hesitant to let in expert reports and wanted

them brought in by direct examination of

the witness. The Court reversed course

and has adopted the following procedure: the expert report will come into

evidence with only brief testimony from

the witness as to its conclusions, then

cross examination and re-direct. Under

this new procedure, the parties ran out

of witnesses by Thursday noon. The

lawyers anticipate the case may now be

concluded by the end of October.

Third Week Update

The Hopi Little Colorado River water

rights trial continued into its third week

on September 24, 2018. This first of

several trials is on Hopi past and present

use of water on the 1882 and Moenkopi Reservations. The United States, as

trustee for the Hopi Tribe, finished its

case-in-chief this week.

As noted last week, the Court made a

significant ruling that allows expert reports to come into evidence with only

brief testimony from the witness as to its

conclusions, then allow longer cross examination and re-direct. Under this new

procedure, the case is accelerated and

United States finished its case-in-chief.

The United States finished its case

with three witnesses who attempted to

quantify in acre feet how much surface

water from the Northern Washes has

historically been used for irrigated agriculture on the Hopi Reservation. This

is a monumental task, as the history of

farming by the Hopi on the Mesas and in

Moenkopi goes back a millennium.

The first witness in this trilogy was

Brent Cody, a hydrologist consultant for

the government, who ran a USGS computer model that mirror the actual water

flow through the Northern Washes from

1949 to 2004. His model provided data

of how much water flowed down the

washes to be available for crops each

year.

The second witness, Eileen Camilli

of Ebert and Associates, Albuquerque,

New Mexico, testified this week. She

works with the government in Indian

water right cases to help estimate the

number of acres that are used in farming.

Based upon historical photos of the Hopi

Reservation, primarily from the 1950’s,

she testified that the largest number of

acres in one year where wash water was

used for irrigation, for range forage, or

for agriculture from springs and Pasture

Canyon, was 13,000 acres plus.

Hopi Tribe’s counsel criticized the

United States’ model for relying primarily on aerial photos in the 1950’s. For

example, water spreaders and dams constructed in the 1940’s flooded thousands

of range acres for forage, but would not

be on the aerial photos of the 1950’s.

Moreover, in a prior United States claim

which relied on all historical acreages

shown on aerial photos, created from

1934 and other years up to the 1990’s,

Ebert and Associates had found 39,000

acres of historical agriculture. The Hopi

Tribe will argue they under-counted

Hopi agricultural acreage.

The last government witness was Tom

Ley from NCRE in Fort Collins, Colorado. NCRE, using the rainfall numbers

from Cody, and the irrigated acreage

numbers from Camilli, created and ran

a program that modeled how much wash

water from the Northern Washes would

be diverted to Hopi farms and used on

the crops. On an average year, the model gave 12,000-acre feet for diversion to

crops; on the maximum year, the model

gave 18,000-acre feet for diversion from

the washes to the crops.

This trial is on Hopi past and present water use. Tom Ley did not model

how the Navajo Nation is taking water

from above the Hopi Northern Reservation boundary. He assumed all the

water from the North flowed onto the

Hopi Reservation. How Navajo must let

water through its Reservation to satisfy

Hopi past use of water is not an issue for

this trial, but is an issue reserved for the

future.

After Tom Ley’s testimony, the United States rested its case-in-chief. The

Hopi Tribe begins its case-in-chief on

Monday, October 1. Where the United

States presented testimony exclusively

by expert witnesses, the Hopi Tribe will

present both Hopi fact witnesses, department heads and expert witnesses.

The Hopi lawyers are again encouraging Hopi Tribal members to come down

and be present at the trial. After all, this

is the Hopi future on trial.

Black Mesa Trust and Organizations

Launch Hopi Water Filter Project

VERNON MASAYESVA

PRESS RELEASE

Black Mesa Trust and The Clean Water Foundation, two non-profit organizations are spearheading a “Home Water

Filter Project” to help the Hopi communities of Keams Canyon, First Mesa, and

Second Mesa Villages against the arsenic contamination of their water source.

Also joining these organizations are

the Emoto Peace Project, the Natural

Choice Network and the Out of this

World radio both from Bellevue, Washington.

The “Home Water Filter Project”

launched in June with fund-raising

events in the State of Washington by the

Clean Water Foundation (CWF), Out of

this World Radio and Natural Choice

Network and which included elegant

dinners, a concert and a few other events

in Arizona. Donations are being accepted through the Clean Water Foundation

website and Black Mesa Trust to purchase these counter top water filter units

which can remove 99.9% of viral bacteria, 95% of metals and 9% of arsenic V

out of the water. To obtain one of these

water filter units you must be a community member of the villages affected

by the arsenic (other villages are eligible, contact BMT representative), must

own or rent home (1 per home) and fill

out a questionnaire to complete the process. Distribution will be determined by

the questionnaire received. Black Mesa

Trust will then have a representative

contact the home occupant to schedule

a time for installation of the water filter

unit. The filter units may be purchased

for personal use for a special rate (Only

for residents living on the Hopi reservation).

Masayesva, Founder and Director of

Black Mesa Trust said, “This is one way

we are helping the people who are drinking water with high levels of arsenic.

Hopefully the Hopi Tribal Council will

take immediate action to make sure our

people are drinking healthy water.” Masayesva thanks the donors and fund raisers for helping the Hopi- Tewa Sinom.

For more information and details on

the project, contact Black Mesa Trust/

survivors, address institutional responses to violence against women, and involve the community in ending violence.

Team members travel to three in-person

events and participate in numerous distance learning activities. HTWCEA was

selected as one of only 13 programs in

the new class. They join 294 programs

who have participated in the ALC.

The Centers for Disease Control or

CDC reports that one in five women will

be sexually assaulted in her lifetime and

one in three women will be a victim of

domestic violence. These statistics are

even higher for American Indian/Alaska Native women, where one in four

women will be a victim of domestic violence and one in three will be sexually

assaulted in her lifetime. The programs

participating in the ALC are working to

end sexual assault, domestic violence,

dating violence, stalking, prostitution,

and human trafficking in their respective

communities.

The HTWCEA is a non-profit tribal

coalition that provides training, technical assistance, outreach & education and

cultural-based programs for the Hopi

Tribe, its programs, community members and organizations on the impacts of

domestic and sexual violence. This also

includes training of local law enforcement, victim advocates, health care personnel, schools and programs that provide services to victims of domestic and

sexual violence and families on the importance of providing trauma-informed

and victim-centered services.

Everyone in the community has a role

to play in ending violence against women. For more information about how

you can help or upcoming Domestic

Violence Awareness Month activities in

October, contact the HTWCEA at (928)

Larry’s Corner

Hopis in Suits

By LARRY WATAHAMAGEE

The Hopi Tutuveni

Remember that old saying “Clothes

make the man”? I think it still kind

of holds relevance to say that we can

change our attitude by wearing a completely different set of clothing. Take for

instance, men and women, women in

particular love to shop for new clothes

because it makes them feel happy to

wear something different. Now I know

that sounds sexist but, Hopi men do not

typically and necessarily go out and buy

a new suit or new clothes and usually

only when he is in a position of power in

the “western culture” sense. Now, your

probably wondering where I’m going

with this example so let me explain this

to you. When a Native man or woman

puts on a suit, it changes their whole perspective on the way they think, act, and

speak about how they used to dress in

the past. It’s like as if they want to become different than they are now. They

become more intuitive or influence by

a more “civilized” culture or also referenced as “snobby” or “qweeve” as the

Hopi saying goes. Now don’t get me

wrong, not all Natives do this, but when

certain Natives who have been living a

certain way want a more “rich” way of

living that person may go out and seek

those lush ways of living, and when

they finally get it, they seem to have a

changed outlook on the way of a “simple” life. I can speak from experience,

when I was doing my “cat strut” in the

streets of Phoenix and Flagstaff, and

thought I found a more “rich” culture to

latch onto other than the Hopi culture.

It’s as if, I wanted to change who I was,

I became more “qweeve” and I thought

that life was better there than living like

a Hopi on Hopi. But I’m pretty sure

that’s what all Natives who make it to

the outside the reservation line feel like.

When I felt this certain way, I was

talking more prominent, I was correcting other people on their grammar and

it seemed to have changed my outlook

and ways I interact with a “less than” society, but that’s my viewpoint and story,

and I can admit it.

Although we do change when we wear

something different, that’s because we

want to feel more confident in the way

we want to be recognized in society, so

here is a saying that I coined up, “Hopis

in suits” to describe that instance. Those

three little words that seem to make no

sense at all packed a lot of meaning. It’s

like saying “cats and mice cohabiting”

or a “vegetarian lion” which doesn’t

seem to make any sense. I don’t think

there is a phrase in Hopi that expresses

how Hopis in suits are related or translates clearly. Again, don’t get me wrong,

all I am saying is that in Hopi society we

are treated equal, unless we are put into

a position like a kikmongwi (Village

Chief) or a Hopi society chief. In Hopi

culture we don’t see them as “chiefs”

like in the “western society” but more as

leaders who guide us through the tasks

of life. Then again, there is no higher

power in Hopi culture, we make it seem

like there is but in reality we are all equal

and that’s why we know that although a

leader is put into a position of authority

and that particular leader can make the

decision alone, it usually takes a consultation with the “village” people and

other leaders to get to a point of making

those decisions. A Hopi leader is a person that leads with wisdom, forethought,

guidance, respect for how other people

see you and your actions and which is

why we see elders as powerful holders

of information.

Now, if you grew up on the reservation, you grew up with a mindset of a

“simple” life, where you take nothing

for granted, you listen to your elders or

older people who have the knowledge,

you talk about how hard life is for a

Hopi individual, and you think that there

is no better way of living other than living on the Hopi lands.

When I was a kitten, we grew up

minding our grandparents and respecting everyone and everything. We listened to Hopi tales and stories because

they are stories that have meaning and

value and just like our Hopi textiles, everything was hand made from the cotton

they grew to the different types of dyes

used to dye their textiles. It was work to

make something new, and it didn’t just

take one person to make something new

but it took a village or family to make

something new. But when we mix western societies’ modern textiles with Hopi

textiles, how much Hopi is left to say it

is “real Hopi made”. We can only say a

Hopi used modern technology to make

it. So it might be authentically made if

you lie about how it was made.

Talking about modern textiles, take for

instance our tribal government, we see

only certain people wearing suits, right?

Now I’m not talking about the maintenance crew in section B, I’m talking

about the top of the food chain, our fearless Hopi tribal leaders. Now I’m not

saying putting on a suit is bad for you or

will change the outlook on they way you

do business but heck, people that have

jobs in cleaning business wear suits, too.

I think last time I stayed in a hotel I saw

the cleaning lady wearing a suit to clean

my room so it goes back to the saying

“Clothes make the man” saying obsolete. Nothing of that saying is true in

this setting. Take the suit away from the

man and maybe your left with the person

with crazy ideas, either or, a person is

person, we don’t really change when we

put on a suit or fancy clothes.

Another example might be if you gave

a homeless man a suit, now he’s just a

well “suited” homeless man. Again the

clothes don’t always define the man.

The reason why our tribal leaders put

on a suit is because they feel more empowered to think of solutions to difficult

projects or make them seem as if they

are really worth their Men’s Warehouse

discount bin suits, but I digress.

If we asked our leaders to dress in

sweatpants and a dirty shirt with tennis

shoes and make those same decisions, I

wonder if their mindset will change on

the outlook of their decisions or will it

be the same as if they were in suits. All

I’m saying is that it doesn’t take the fancy suit to make decisions or to make you

feel confident. We just need reassurance

to make those decisions, hence wearing

different clothing as a confidence booster.

We can’t blame our tribal leaders for

putting on a three-piece suit to fight battles about our money problems or other

problems that are important to the Hopi

people; at least they will look good

fighting our battles. If wearing a suit

generates a great idea or two, why not?

So we have to ask the age-old question, “Do clothes really make the man”?

Or do we need to have some sort of confidence booster to make us feel important. But, if you really think about it, people in suits made important decisions in

the past, and look how our world turned

out. Hmmmm?!

My advice to you is that, when you

go to work tomorrow, wear something

comfortable, because it doesn’t matter

how you dress, in the end we all look

the same, it’s what we leave behind that

matters and how other people look at

you. Be comfortable about who you are,

a piece of cloth is a not going to give

you confidence, know your level of confidence and ability whether you wear a

suit or a track suit.

Western Resource Advocates is pleased to announce that it has presented its 2018 Emerging

Leader Award to Hopi

outdoor education leader

Marshall Masayesva in

recognition of his inspiring work engaging Native

American youth through

service,

environmental

conservation and stewardship, outdoor education,

and adventure recreation.

Each year, WRA honors

a young leader, age 35 and

under, who has done exemplary work to advance

conservation in the Mountain West. This year’s

award was presented to

Masayesva by SCARPA

North America CEO Kim

Miller during WRA’s annual “Protect the West

Celebration” on Thursday,

Sept. 13, 2018, in Broomfield, Colo. The event celebrates a year of work in

conservation throughout

the region.

“Marshall is helping

young people learn skills

and the value of hard work

to preserve their natural

environment, but he is

also instilling values that

they will carry and pass on

to their own children and

grandchildren,” Western

Resource Advocates President Jon Goldin-Dubois

said. “WRA was proud to

honor Marshall’s inspiring

dedication and service. We

look forward to continuing

to partner with him to advance our shared passion

for protecting Western

landscapes.”

“I would like to thank

the WRA for the award

as well as getting me in

touch with good people,”

Masayesva said. “This

recognition will help to

highlight the work that is

happening out of a small

shared office on the Hopi

Reservation.”

“When I first talked to

Marshall, he was working

with a team of kids fash-

ioning a zip line to carry

trash off a mesa. In that

first conversation, I knew

he was the real deal, dedicated to service and respect

for the environment. I was

honored to present Marshall with the Emerging

Leader Award for Western Resource Advocates,”

Miller said. “Through his

leadership and pure enthusiasm, he is helping ensure

that the next generation

develops the values, skills

and knowledge that will

strengthen them as people

and stewards for the natural world.”

Masayesva is Paaqapwungwu (Reed Clan)

from the village of Bacavi

on the Hopi Reservation

in Arizona. He graduated

from Fort Lewis College

with a degree in Adventure Education and immediately moved home

to get to work developing

new youth programs and

promoting environmental

conservation and stewardship using adventure education as a medium.

Masayesva’s daytime

job is Program Coordinator for the Ancestral Lands

Hopi office, and on the

weekends, he is Program

Director for the Adventures for Hopi Program.

All of his work focuses

around youth and young

adult engagement through

service,

environmental

conservation, outdoor education, and adventure

recreation. His goal is to

incorporate outdoor recreation into reservation culture, sparking economic

development and conservation.

“Indigenous

people

have the opportunity to

pursue viable economic

opportunities that do not

rely on natural resource

exploitation or centralized

profit centers, through

simply utilizing, managing, and determining the

direction of culturally

relevant, sensitive, and

responsible recreation,”

Masayesva said.

Are Millennials in Good Financial

Shape?

By STATEPOINT

Now comprising the largest percentage of the

workforce, millennials report that their parents did

not give them much guidance about investing and

many are not confident they are saving enough for

the future.

According to a new PNC Investments Millennials & Investing survey, this demographic largely

agrees that while they learned about saving money at a young age, they did not receive as much

guidance from their parents about building wealth

through investing. Financial experts say that this

knowledge gap could prove challenging for this

segment of the population in the long-term.

“The money mindset that many millennials adopted during their childhood could derail their

long-term financial goals,” says Rich Ramassini, CFP, senior vice president, PNC Investments.

“When it comes to building wealth over the longterm, investing is a critical component that should

not be ignored.”
