Nasafotie takes
Best of Show at
Indian Market
Reprint from
Santa Fe Journal
SANTA FE—Adrian Nasafotie had Santa Fe Indian
Market in mind when he
started working on a sculpture he calls “Purification”
months ago.
Although the Hopi artist’s elaborate cottonwood
root carving is delicate, he
wasn’t going to make anything that he couldn’t transport from his home in northern Arizona to Santa Fe.
“I wouldn’t even attempt
anything like that if I didn’t
know how to get it here,”
Nosafotie told the Journal
Friday. “They’re really expensive, and you want the
piece to get where they’re
destined to.”
Nasatofie, from Moenkopi, Ariz., said he made a
custom box to transport the
carving, which took about
six months of work, to Santa Fe for the 95th market.
The arrangement paid
off for Nasafotie, as his
depiction of Hopi kachinas
— one of them with wings
and suspended above the
others, soaring into the sky
— won Best of Show at the
2016 Indian Market award
luncheon at the Santa Fe
Community Convention
Center on Friday. The piece
also won the top prize in
the woodcarving category.

the tribe’s only source of
drinking water supply by
digging the pipeline under
the Missouri river. In addition the construction would
damage burial sites, a cultural and historical significance to the tribe.
“We have many issues
our tribe is facing regarding water rights and the
protection of it; such as the
arsenic problem, the Arizona Snowbowl and the Confluence,” said Honanie.
The group feels strongly in supporting the nations
gathered in Standing Rock in
solidarity towards protecting
their only source of water.
Since the protesting began in August, many have
been following it on Facebook. Those at camp have
been posting updates daily and have asked for donations of water to winter
clothing as they plan on
staying through winter.
Many Tribal Nations
and supporters around the
world have traveled to the
Standing Rock Sioux reservation to stand in soli-
darity. Protestors have increased by the thousands
and have set up camp at
the Sacred Stone camp.
Camp officials have asked
individuals who are coming into camp to not bring
weapons, drugs or alcohol.
The Hopi/Tewa group is
praying their journey will
be safe and their presence
will be done in a respectful
way as they take gifts of
traditional Hopi foods to
feed the people.
Pahona said their support is a positive one to
show they can be self-sufficient and hopes others can
see how proactive they can
be about these issues in a
positive way.
“We hope to bring motivation to our local communities to be more active in
our own struggle and issues
regarding Hopi water and
instill a sense of pride and
values within ourselves and
our children,” said Honanie.

Know the Basics
of Diabetes
By: Terri Honanie
Hopi Special Diabetes Program
There are three types of
diabetes: Type 1, Type 2,
and Gestational Diabetes.
Type 1: Body does not make
enough insulin
• Can develop at any age
• No known way to prevent it
Type 2: The body cannot
use insulin properly
• Can develop at any age
• Most cases CAN be
prevented
Gestational Diabetes:
Develops only during
pregnancy
• Usually goes away after
the baby is born
• Mother and baby are at
higher risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes later
in life
What can you do to PREVENT or DELAY Type 2
Diabetes?
• Lose weight
• Eat healthy
• Be more active
What you can do to MANAGE Type 2 Diabetes?
• Work with a health care
professional
• Eat healthy
• Stay active
Diabetes is the fourth
leading cause of death for
Arizona American Indians/
Alaska Natives (AZ Vital
Statistics, 2013). In 2014,
11.6% of Hopi children
ages 2-5 years old were
classified as overweight,
and 55.2% were classified
as obese (IHS EDM, 20092014). Type 2 Diabetes is
a chronic disease, which
means it is a disease that
develops over time and can
be delayed or prevented
with proper nutrition and a
healthy active lifestyle. The
staff at The Hopi Wellness
Center can help in these areas. The Hopi Special Diabetes Program offer community presentations and
family wellness programs
with educational curriculum about eating healthy
and developing healthy
habits. The Fitness Center
Staff are certified physical
fitness trainers who can
help people of all fitness
levels and offer group fitness classes throughout
the week. Together we can
lower the number of diagnosed diabetics, let’s Keep
Hopi Moving!

20th Annual Hopi Special
Needs Activity Day
Crystal Dee
Hopi Tutuveni
The Office of Special
Needs (OSN) hosted the 20th
Annual Special Needs Activity Day on Sept. 13 at the Hopi
Veteran’s Memorial Center.
The event began with a
parade from groups representing various centers,
agencies and schools on
and off the reservation.
Elyse
Lomawaima,
OSN Secretary and Stewart Dukepoo who both had
a hand in coordinating the
event, agreed the Special
Needs Activity Day this
year was different from
years previous because
they removed some things
from the program.
“We wanted to focus on
what this event is really
about and that is to have a
day of activities for everyone,” said Lomawaima.
She also added that
group homes and centers
off the reservation have
been calling and asking if
OSN will have their annual event because it’s something they look forward to
attending every year.
Because the day was
focused on activities, Lomawaima said they cutout
speeches, door prizes and
awards from the program.
“This day is dedicated
to activities,” said Lomawaima. “We asked all
of the participating programs to host a booth with
an activity.”
Activities included TicTac-Toe Frisbee hosted
by the First Mesa Youth
Center, Arts and Crafts by
the Arizona Department of
Early Intervention, a photo
booth by the Hopi Veterans
Program and much more.
The OSN had many
volunteers from several
Tribal departments and
community members. This
allowed the OSN staff to
interact with the groups.
OSN was grateful for
Raymond Namoki of the
Hopi Nutrition Program
who volunteered to cook
lunch for the event. His
staff made hominy stew,
roasted chili, yeast bread
and watermelon.
The event had an attendance of over 200, which
was successful and are
looking forward to next
year’s event.
The OSN Program is no
longer a part of the Depart-
ment of Health and Human
Services and has moved under the direction of the Department of Education since
the beginning of the year. The
move reflects the revised Organizational Chart approved
by Hopi Tribal Council. The
OSN Program has five staff:
Elyse Lomawaima, Secretary;
LouAnn Sockyma, Office
Manager; Stewart Dukepoo,
Job Coach Developer; Gayle
Pahona, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor; and James
Fred, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor and Acting
Program Administrator.
The program assist individuals with disabilities
to obtain employment or
self-employment based on
their job history, disability
and future goals. OSN also
assists in preparing resumes,
applications, job coaching
and vocational counseling.
Eligible individuals must
have a medical or documented disability; be a
member of a federally recognized tribe; and reside on
the Hopi reservation.

From P1 - Hopi to Standing Rock
During a planning on Sept.
7, the group asked for donations of a trailer and hitch,
non-perishable food items,
piki, blue flour, hohoysi, boxed goods, laundry
soap, matches, winter hats,
scarves, blankets and tarp.
They also had a couple
of fundraisers to help with
gas and food along the
way. Many people helped
host bake sales and a split
the pot raffle. They also
asked for donations of art
and crafts for an auction.
Other monetary donations
were through a GoFundMe
account and venom.com.
The estimated cost for the
trip was near $5,000.
Honanie said other Hopi/
Tewa members will meet
them at Standing Rock before
they march into camp. They
are coming from California,
Chicago and North Dakota.
In a letter addressed to
the Hopi Tribal Council
dated Sept. 6, the Hopi/
Tewa group stated, “As
Hopi, it is our covenant
to steward the land and its
resources. As people, we
must look out for our future generations and teach
our children to be caring
members of our community and our world.”
The letter was read into record during a Hopi Tribal
Council Session in which
it also asked for Council’s
blessing for the group to
be designated officials of
the Hopi Tribe in Standing Rock; however, Tribal Council was unable to
grant them official status
due to liability issues.
“Which I understand,”
said Pahona. “They did
give us words of encouragement and to have a
safe trip.” Honanie said
the planning for the trip is
self-driven and everyone
involved has a role in making this trip happen. Not to
mention all of the support
from other tribal nations
who are sending their donations with the group.
“We have Hopi artist,
FMES, teachers, the Paatuwaqatsi Water is Life Run,
families, and individuals
from all across Hopi, as
well as Californina, Zuni,
Tuba City, Urban Hopi
population of Phoenix area,
Winslow, Flagstaff, and the
Tohono O’odham Nation
who are gathering donations and supporting us,”
said Honanie.
Upon arrival at Standing Rock, the group did a
gift exchange of corn and
a paho (feathers) and performed a Hopi dance.
The group thanked the
Hopi Chairman, all the
families and individuals
who gave their support and
messages from the Hopi
people who wished them a
safe journey and to remain
humble, and respectful of
their presence.

Phoenix Indian School Reunion scheduled for October 8
Patty Talahongva
Contact: 602-254-3247 or
PILegacyProject@nativeconnections.org
Plans are shaping up for
the Phoenix Indian School
Reunion which will be held
the weekend of October 8,
2016 in Phoenix. More than
30 alumni have already confirmed their attendance for
the parade, the reunion and
the art project which will
take place that weekend.
“We are looking forward to
meeting some of the former
students, teachers and staff
who called P.I. home,” says
Janet Cantley, curator for
the Heard Museum. The
reunion is being hosted by
the Heard Museum and the
partners of the Phoenix Indian School Legacy Project,
Native American Connec-
tions (NAC) and the Phoenix Indian Center (PIC).
“We are asking alumni to
bring items such as letterman jackets, sweaters, photos, or trophies to donate to
our gallery space,” says Diana Yazzie Devine, CEO of
NAC. “We have received
some items to display and
we thank those alumni for
their generosity.” The gallery will be located inside
the former music building
once the partners complete
the renovations.
Alumni are invited to
march in the annual NAC/
Native American Recognition Days parade on Saturday
Oct. 8. A float is being built
by alumni who live in Phoenix and everyone is asked to
wear maroon and gold, which
were the school colors.
Alumni can be dropped
off by family members at
the corner of 3rd Street and
Oak by 8 a.m. the day of
the parade. It will start there
and head north, ending inside the parking lot at Steele
Indian School Park. Alumni
who can’t or don’t wish to
walk the three-mile parade
route can ride in the trolley. Water will be provided
throughout the morning.
Once the parade is over,
alumni will be led into Memorial Hall where the reunion will start. All alumni
wishing to be a part of the
reunion must RSVP by calling 602-254-3247 by the
Sept. 29 deadline. Alumni
are allowed one guest. The
first part of the program
will include introductions of
classes represented and an
overview of the P.I. Legacy
Project. Around noon the reunion will move to the Heard
Museum, 2301 N Central
Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004,
where a luncheon will be
served inside Steele Auditorium. The afternoon will
include identifying people in
photos from various decades
and an open mic to record
stories from the alumni.
The reunion will wrap up at
4 p.m. to give alumni a chance
to have private dinners on
their own with former classmates they see at the reunion.
Sunday morning (9/9)
from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
alumni are invited to a painting party at the Phoenix Renews Community Garden.
The entrance is a dirt road
just north of Indian School
Rd. off Central Ave. All art
supplies will be donated.
The theme is, “Phoenix Indian School” and alumni
are being asked to paint a
memory from their days at
Phoenix Indian. 4’ X 8’ plywood will serve as the canvas. The organizers hope to
get as close to 99 art pieces
painted for this project.
Dozens of Native youth
from the Phoenix Indian
Center’s Future Inspired
Native American Leaders
program will also help prep
the boards and paint alongside the alumni. “This art
collaboration will bring
together Native youth
with people who actually
experienced life at a government boarding school,”
says Patricia Hibbeler,
CEO of the PIC. “This is an
important historical project
for the generations.”
The art will be placed
on the fence at the corner
of Indian School Road and
Central on November 5th
which is, “Keep Phoenix
Beautiful Day.” This art
project will help kick off
the celebration anticipating
the reopening of the music
building as a Native American Cultural and Business
Center in 2017.
In 2018 the Heard Museum will reopen its revamped and expanded
Boarding School Exhibit.

Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
While delivering the last
issue of the Tutuveni, I
passed a gentleman and his
horse. I had to look twice
because I saw that the horse
displayed a license plate. I
had never seen anything like
that and I wanted to get a
photo of the horse and gentleman. Getting a photo was
my initial intention, but as I
waited for him to come up
the road, I wondered what
his story was.
As he approached, I asked
if I could take a photo of
them and he happily said
yes. I introduced myself as
the Reporter for the Hopi
Newspaper and I was out

Brinkley replied, “No
ma’am. I’m just enjoying
life and traveling across
country with Skip.”
Brinkley has been traveling with his horse across the
United States for the last 30
years; traveling to the east
coast or the west coast taking
different routes each time.
For this trip, Brinkley
was on his way to California where he would visit

friends for the winter and
then travel back to Missouri
next spring.
Arizona was the eighth
state he was traveling
through and said it was a
wonderful experience thus
far. He traveled through the
Navajo reservation and said
they were very friendly and
welcoming.
“They stopped to me and
asked if Skip needed water
or food and they fed me,”
said Brinkley.
I asked where he was
headed to and if he passing
through any towns specifically during his trip. He said
he was headed to Winslow
and then onward.
“We want to stand on the
corner in Winslow, Arizona
and take a photo to send to
my son for his birthday,”
said Brinkley.
He didn’t know how
long it would take to get to
Winslow, but he was packed
to camp out which he preferred.
I wanted to know more
about Skip’s Iowa license
plate. Brinkley said Skip
was given to him by a family in Iowa when his first
horse, Anna Marie passed.
Getting the license plate
was to honor Skip.
The license plate on Skip
is an eye catcher and everyone stops and asks questions
because they have never
seen anything like it before.
“A guy said to me, ‘Oh,
now you just made them
think of another reason to
tax us’,” said Brinkley as he
laughed about it.
Apparently Brinkley is
well known and has many
followers on Facebook
which his son manages.
He told me to send him a
request, “or however that
works.”
After getting his story, we
parted ways as he was trying to find a place to camp
for the night.
I thought about him and
wondered how far he had
gotten and if I was going to
see him again as he traveled
through the Hopi reservation.
I sent him a “friend request” on Facebook and
then posted my encounter
with Brinkley to let my
friend know who he was in
case they ran into him on the
reservation. Some friends
shared my post and when he
came through they already
knew of him and took photos with him.
I was able to see him
again when he was passing
through Hopi and I wished
him well because I knew I
wouldn’t see him again.
His son posted an update
on his father and Skip; they
made it Winslow on Sept.
12 and said they will travel
back to Missouri for winter
instead of staying in California.
