UPDATE – Hopi Tutuveni Provides Communications Aid to Hopi

Emergency Operations Center

Romalita Laban, Managing Editor

Hopi Tutuveni

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – Tuesday, March 31, 2020, the

Hopi Tutuveni continues to operate as an essential

program of the Hopi Tribe as it provides written and

online information, education and a community service to the Hopi villages, communities and public.

As of Friday, March 27, 2020 Roger Tungovia

transferred command to Edison Tu’tsi, who now

serves as Incident Commander. It was also reported

by Hopi Tutuveni, that a special insert, dedicated to

communication from the Hopi Tribe’s “ Emergency

Operation Center (EOC)” would be included in the

April 1, 2020 publication. The offer was originally

presented to Tungovia on Monday, March 23, 2020.

On Tuesday, March 30, 2020 Hopi Tutuveni received an update from Edison Tu’tsi Incident Commander, EOC, Hopi Emergency Response Team

(HERT) regarding communications and public information.

ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED

Mr. Tu’tsi clarified that in accordance with Federal

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements, the terms being used should be corrected; one

being the use of Emergency Operations Center rather

than “Incident Command Center.” Mr. Tu’tsi reiterated several times that the Incident Commander, as

well as the HERT personnel, will be operating out of

the Emergency Operations Center.

Examples of FEMA required documents, such

as the ‘ICS CHECKLIST’ for the “FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION SECTION,” which describes incident management activities, primary focus, roles,

purpose and tasks was shared with Hopi Tutuveni.

The examples gave context to what is required of the

Emergency Operations Center personnel since the

March 17, 2020 Tribal Emergency Declaration was

executed.

The current EOC Staff are: Madeline Sahneyah

– Operations, Felicia Yaiva -Finance/Administration, Jolette Arrieta – Logistics, and Greg Sehongva

– Planning

Hopi Senom Transit Work and Temporary Closure of the Hopi

Staffing Plan

Cultural Preservation Office

NOTICE

Introduction

This Work and Staffing Plan was developed in response to the COVID-19 Novel

Coronavirus pandemic of 2020, a Hopi

Tribal and National Emergency. This plan

will provide guidance on reducing the

number of staff needed to perform necessary services as well as administrative

and operating functions and activities. The

plan is subject to change as the COVID-19

situation develops.

Hopi Senom Transit Staffing

Structure

Hopi Senom Transit staffing structure

consists of Operating functions which

includes drivers and vehicles and Administrative functions that includes grant

compliance and administrative duties. The

following plan will assist Operating and

Administrative managers, supervisors,

and staff in carrying out their responsibilities while assuring their safety and security in the operation of Hopi Senom Transit

services.

Operating Employees Weekly

Schedule

To minimize prolonged contact with the

large numbers of people that use Transit

services, the Flagstaff and Midday Routes

have been suspended for at least 8 weeks

from the March 17, 2020, issuance date of

Executive Order #01-2020. A weekly rotating-leave schedule for our 5 active drivers has been developed with 3 drivers on

duty for the Winslow, Keams Canyon and

Tuba City routes and with 2 drivers off every service day. A draft Drivers Schedule

is attached.

Administrative Employees Weekly

Schedule

To minimize prolonged contact with

members of the general public that frequent the Transit Office as well as with

other Tribal Employees, a weekly rotating-leave schedule has been put in place

for the 2 Administrative employees. The

weekly rotating schedule shall have one

Administrative employee working 4 days

with one day off and with the second employee working 3 days with 2 days off.

The two employees will rotate weeks to

minimize time spent in the office. Consecutive days off will be avoided with the

exception of Mondays and Fridays off.

The Administrative Schedule may change

due to essential Administrative duties and

timelines that require the employee to be

in the office.

In addition, the Transit office will be

closed to the public to minimize risk to

our employees.

Transportation Supervisor Weekly

Schedule

The Transportation Supervisor is both

and Operating and Administrative employee. He is directed to be off duty at

least one day a week with two days off a

week optimal. The Transportation Supervisor schedule will be developed weekly

due to essential Operating and Administrative duties that require the employee to

be in the office or in the field.

Working from Home (Telework)

It is not possible for Operating employees to work from home as their duties

entail vehicle operation as well as cleanliness and maintenance of their assigned

vehicle.

A fair amount of Administrative work

can be done from home, however, an internet connection and a laptop computer

will be necessary. Our office has one laptop and no portable internet connection;

one Administrative employee does have

DSL at home as does the Transportation

Supervisor. Both Administrative employees and the Transportation Supervisor

have program-assigned cell phones.

Point of Contact

Do not hesitate to contact Donovan Gomez, Transit Administrator, at 928-7343231 or at mobile number 928- 401-5518

regarding the Hopi Senom Transit Work &

Staffing Plan.

On March 17, 2020, the Hopi Tribe issued Executive Order #01-2020 concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore,

the HCPO staff will do their part to prevent the spread of this virus and practice

social distancing to flatten the curve by

working from home. This temporary closure will take effect at 1 :00 pm on March

20, 2020 and continue through April 3,

2020. HCPO will reevaluate this temporary closure based on the state of the pandemic, and reserves the right to extend the

closure if necessary.

Please be advised that HCPO will not

be able to respond to Archaeology Survey

Request, Tribal Consultation, Section 106

compliance, and other requests designated

to the office. You may continue to email

HCPO, but please be informed that responses may be delayed. HCPO staff will

do their best to continue to reply to emails

despite the limited access to technology

on the Hopi reservation.

The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office

Staff thank you for your understanding as

we all pray in unison to get past these uncertain times. Kwakwha/Askwali.

StrongHearts Native Helpline

Offers Safety Planning Tips on

Social Media

CC Hovie,

Communications Manager

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

time, the StrongHearts website and social

media sites are not equipped for support

services.

(EAGAN, Minn., March 28, 2020) —

Domestic violence victims/survivors are

more isolated than ever and feel trapped

with their abusers. StrongHearts Native

Helpline understands that victims may not

have a safe opportunity to call a helpline;

therefore, in order to reach and help as

many people as possible, they are re-focusing their social media strategy. They

will be focusing their efforts to share culturally-specific safety planning tips, selfcare and encouragement. Their Facebook,

Twitter and Instagram pages will continue

to offer regular tips on how friends and

family members of those living in domestic violence situations can help. At this

StrongHearts is also a resource for service providers and can help them problem-solve during the pandemic.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline, a non-Native Hotline, offers online

chat services which some victims/survivors may find easier to access during

self-isolation.

StrongHearts

Native

Helpline

(1-844-7NATIVE) will continue to operate and offer services daily from 7 a.m. to

10 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Advocates

are standing by and ready to listen.

Hopi Foundation Adapting, Still

Working to Serve Community

Ryan Tafoya

The Hopi Foundation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kykotsmovi, AZ – While nothing in

the past several weeks were “business as

usual”, nonprofits in Arizona are still preparing for Arizona Gives Day, with some

alterations. Arizona Gives Day is an online giving campaign created to generate

support and awareness for the state’s nonprofit organizations.

At The Hopi Foundation, a 501(c)

(3) nonprofit that has existed in Arizona

since 1985, all staff are working remotely and many vital services are on hiatus

or re-shaping the way they work to meet

their mission and purpose. The Hopi VITA

Partnership had to suspend its free tax services and the HOPI Substance Abuse Prevention Center has cancelled AA meetings

and must hold their 1-1 mentoring sessions by phone.

During this pandemic, KUYI – Hopi

Radio has been crucial to Hopi and surrounding communities receiving pertinent

information. “KUYI is broadcasting critical health & public safety information

to our community so it can draw from its

own resilient past & move forward into a

healthy future,” stated Station Manager,

Richard Davis.

The Natwani Coalition had to postpone

or cancel many of its farming and planting

workshops due to the mandated shut-in.

Funds raised for AZ Gives Day help to

reaffirm and preserve traditional farming

practices through supporting initiatives of

the program such as Community Workshops, Community Grant Program, Hopi

Farm Talk, and Hopi Seed Initiative. “Our

initiatives help to support our overall mission which is ‘to preserve and strengthen

the healthy food system and agricultural

traditions of the Hopi and Tewa people,’"

said Natwani Program Manager, Terri

Honani.

The Hopi Leadership Program has provided a cultural and modern approach to

growing both adult and youth leaders but

their sessions are on hold until further developments. “As we face the pandemic

of the Coronavirus, it is imperative that

we look towards cultivating these leaders in our community to help address the

specific and unique needs of Hopi,” said

Samantha Honani, Program Manager for

Hopi Leadership.

The Hopi Opportunity Youth Initiative

(HOYI) has participated in Arizona Gives

Day since their launch in 2013. “Since this

time, we’ve been able to launch pilot projects that address the ever-changing ways

in which our children learn and thrive in

today’s world,” Hannah Honani, Program

Manager for HOYI, stated. “We serve as

a convener and facilitator that brings various stakeholders and passionate community leaders together to help build a community-led, collective impact strategy to

address our vulnerable youth.”

The Hopi Foundation would normally invite the public to learn more about

their programs and services at their annual Open House but instead hopes the

public will join them on social media in

celebrating milestones towards their fundraising goal of $35,000. Additionally, the

Foundation and its programs will host a

Virtual Pledge Run to generate support for

Arizona Gives Day, and to encourage people to be active during this crisis. The ‘virtual’ format means that participants can

run where and when they want and then

send in their times to compare with other

runners. Registration for the virtual run is

open and participants can choose to run

either a 1 or 2 mile, or a 5K on their favorite trail on April 4th, 5th, or 6th. Runners

are encouraged to post a photo or video

from their run with the hashtags #HopiGivesMiles #HopiGives #AZGivesDay

#philanthrHopi.

the Hopi Foundation’s Virtual Pledge

Run, please visit bit.ly/HopiMiles. To

Hopi Tutuveni Provides Communications Aid to Hopi Emergency Operations Center, Cont.

Tu’tsi expressed his gratitude for those

who have served with HERT’s EOC thus

far and those who may be serving. Tu’tsi

is a humble man who also expressed that

he is not filling the position as the Incident

Commander for notoriety but because of

his concern for “the people.” Tu’tsi said,

“I want to thank everyone for doing their

due diligence, for being together for the

HERT and to those who have shared good

comments…that’s what makes you more

ready, when everyone has good comments

and uses common sense. If we all keep it

simple and use common sense, we’ll all

be better off.”

The Emergency Operations Center is

now set up and operating out of the Hopi

Wellness Center Conference room located at the Hopi Veteran’s Memorial Center

HERT’s EOC will be;

•Utilizing the most up to date Center for

Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for addressing COVID-19.

Command Center, because that is where

the COVID-19 cases/incidents will be addressed and attended to.

•Providing necessary Personal Protective Equipment needs for Incident Command IHS, First Responders responding

to the public at this time.

Mr. Tu’tsi was in agreement and support

of providing information to the public via

March 30, 2020

Here is what you need to know about COVID-19 testing procedure, who can and should get tested and how long it

takes to get your results back.

In Arizona, COVID-19 testing is done by 2 commercial laboratories, Sonora Quest and LabCorp, or through the

Arizona State Laboratory. The test detects the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19 and is for use with

patients who have signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. If you are tested at Hopi Health Care Center for

COVID-19, you can expect at least a 3-6 day turnaround time. Because the test is sent out via UPS or another

courier, COVID-19 tests conducted on the weekend may have a longer wait time. Once results are complete, the

Hopi Health Care Center Public Health Department will contact you, as well as, follow up with any others that you

may have had contact with. This process is in coordination with Arizona State and County Health Departments.

The preferred specimen is collected by a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab in viral transport medium. The specimen is

collected at Hopi Health Care Center by inserting the NP swab into the patient’s nose and left in for a few seconds

to absorb the secretions. The specimen is then labeled, dated, and shipped frozen to either to Sonora Quest

Laboratory or the Arizona State Laboratory. Both labs have about a 3-6 day turnaround time. Currently,

commercial lab testing is considered presumptively positive and is confirmed by the Arizona State Laboratory, but

patients should be managed if they are positive.

Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (or “flu” swabs) detect influenza viral antigens, or proteins, in respiratory tract

specimens. It is also collected using a NP swab, but a different type of NP swab than the COVID-19 test, and can

processed onsite by our laboratory. The test can provide results in approximately 15 minutes.

2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) –

General Public Information UPDATE

TICK-TACK-TOE

Royce Jenkins, Director - Department of

Health and Human Services - Hopi Tribe

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – Tuesday, March 31,

2020 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the national public health institute of the United States and the lead federal

agency under the Department of Health and

Human Services and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus

(2019-nCoV).

With much news generated throughout the

media the country and abroad The Hopi Tribe’s

Department of Health & Human Services together with Hopi Health Care Center/Indian

Health Services (HHCC-IHS), state and federal agencies are working closely monitoring the

“coronavirus disease 2019” or COVID-19 and

collaboratively working together to keep the

public and community informed and updated

on this disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring an outbreak

of a respiratory disease, “coronavirus disease

2019” or COVID-19 that is caused by a new

coronavirus that was first detected in China.

The CDC has now been providing updated information about COVID-19 cases detected in

locations internationally, including cases in the

United States at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

For the general American public, the immediate health risk is considered high at this

time. The potential public health threat posed

by COVID-19 is high, both globally and in

the United States. This is a rapidly evolving

situation, and information is becoming dated

quickly. We encourage everyone to periodically review CDC’s COVID-19 webpage for the

most recent updates.

The IHS will continue to follow heightened

procedures for evaluation and treatment of respiratory illnesses. Patients who are presenting

with flu-like illness are being asked if they

have traveled recently as a means to determine

their risk of exposure to COVID-19. If a patient comes under evaluation for COVID-19,

IHS would coordinate with local, state, and/or

tribal public health departments immediately.

Direct impacts of this outbreak to Indian

Country are increasing and we must be vigilant in our efforts to prevent the introduction

and spread of this infections disease among

our patients and within the communities we

serve. Go to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention-treatment.

html for some of the everyday preventive actions you can take to help prevent the spread of

respiratory viruses.

As flu activity remains high in the U.S. and

is expected to continue for weeks, it isn’t too

late to get your annual influenza vaccination.

Everyone six months and older should get the

vaccination each year to protect themselves

and reduce the risk of spreading the flu to others. Vaccination against the flu is especially

important for American Indians and Alaska

Natives, who have been found to be at high risk

of developing complications from the flu. Go

to https://www.cdc.gov/flu/index.htm for more

information.

Studies have shown that people who get

vaccinated will have fewer flu illnesses and

doctor visits and miss less work due to influenza. Protect yourself, your family, and your

community by getting your vaccination today!

Everyday actions to help prevent the spread

of respiratory illnesses include:

•Wash your hands often with soap and water

or at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not

available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer

that contains at least 60% alcohol.

•Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth

with unwashed hands.

•Stay home when you are sick.

•Avoid close contact with people who are

sick.

•Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or

your sleeve (not your hands).

•Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

For more information, check out the Arizona Department of Health Services website:

https://www.azdhs.gov/coronavirus.

The Hopi Department of Health & Human

Services is program of the Hopi Tribe and

promotes health awareness through advocacy,

health education, promotions and prevention

for individual and families to create healthy

communities while working closely with villages. The services within the Department

include: a) Adult & Aging Program; b) HOPI

Larry’s Corner

A Short Story…but one not totally complete

By LARRY The CAT

The Hopi Tutuveni

Let me tell you a short story about

how the Hopi people have this story of

when they were travelling and making

their way through the first and second

world. In this short story the Hopi

people had help from a little old wise

woman called Spider Woman.

Now, in this story, she helped the

people through several stages of their

travels. And when the people wanted

to search for a permanent place, Spider

Woman warned them of the dangers

that lay ahead and that she would only

help them, when in the worst of times.

See in this story, there are several

variants of how they got to the fourth

world. In this particular variant, the

group of people, with the help from

Spider Woman, grew a long and

straight bamboo stalk that punched

right through the sky into the fourth

world.

Without hesitance, the leader of this

group wanted to check it out. So Spider Woman made a single bird from

clay to scour the land to explore and

assess. While the bird flew through the

opening in the sky, the bird noticed

something in the distance. When he

flew in closer, he noticed a camp fire

that someone had built. As he flew

closer, he saw a single figure sitting by

the fire.

The bird landed beside the sitting

figure and stated, “I come seeking a

new land.” The bird then asked, “I was

wondering, if you are alone or with a

group?”

The figure did not answer right

away, but continued to stoke the fire

and threw another log on the burning

embers. The figure sat back down and

spoke, “I am the keeper of this land,

what business do you have here?”

The bird, a bit scared to even answer

but said, “I was sent to scour the land

to see if it was a possible home for my

people.”

Without hesitance the figure spoke

with a deep voice. “You are welcome

to live on my land if you follow a simple rule.” He said, “I am a simple man

with simple duties. I only have in my

possession a single planting stick and

some seeds. This land is harsh but full

of possibilities to live on. You will be

tested with living a hard life but in the

end, you will be rewarded with new

life. If your people are willing to live

as I do, I will welcome your people to

live on my land.”

The bird was excited and willing to

go back and tell the people that there is

land that is fertile but harsh. But as the

bird was ready to head back to tell the

people, the bird asked, “Who are you?

What is your name?” As the figure

stood up, the fire roared and calmed

back down, “I have many names and

many faces. Your people will both fear

me and accept me. My name is Hopi

and when you live on my land you

must use my name so you will not forget why you are here.”

As the figure sat back down the bird

flew away, while the figure said a final

warning, “You will become caretakers

of this land as I will watch you always.

Once you forget your duties that I bestowed upon your people I will come

back take back what was truly mine.”

So, with that knowledge the bird

went back to the people and told the

leader what this figure said to him. The

leader of the group agreed to the conditions and lead his people to use this

land today.

So, this story is not complete, but it

was to give you an understanding that

we are not owners of the land, but we

are simply caretakers and we must

take care of what was given to us.

Sort of like a loan on a brand-new

car, we make payments on it but when

we miss one payment the car is taken

back. Once the Hopi people understand once again, that we cannot fight

one another, or we cannot have all the

luxuries the western society has, or we

cannot be like a white man. Once we

figure that out again, we will become

whole again.

So, my advice to you is that even

though some may believe that our tribal government leaders are not “leading” it does not mean that we should

only look to them for guidance.

We can simply look at what duties

“Hopi” gave us to do. Talk to your elders, or ask them, “What are my duties

to the Hopi people?”

And in the end, we will be rewarded

with new life…although, I am hoping

it includes pizza…and who knows new

life might still include pizza, which

doesn’t sound so bad at all.
