Hopi voters went to the polls to cast their

votes for a new Hopi Chairman and Vice Chairman, in the November 9 General Election.

Timothy L. Nuvangyaoma from the Village

of Mishongnovi defeated opponent David N.

Talayumptewa, Tribal Council Representative

from the Village of Kykotsmovi, in the race for

Chairman of the Hopi Tribal Council.

Clark W. Tenakhongva, from the Village of

Hotevilla defeated Lamar B. Keevama, Tribal Council Representative from the Village of

Bacavi, for Vice Chairman.

After polls closed on Nov. 9, ballots were

opened and counted at the Hopi Day School in

Kykotsmovi, AZ.

Early on in the count, Nuvangyaoma held

a strong lead over Talayumptewa with votes

from most precincts going in his favor, as well

as votes from early and absentee voters. Nuvangyaoma received the top votes at 60.15%

and Talayumptewa at 39.85%, declaring victory for Nuvangyaoma as Chairman elect.

In the race for the seat of Vice Chairman,

Tenakhongva received 59.13% votes over Keevama’s 40.87% votes.

Both elected leaders have never served on

the Hopi Tribal Council before and come with

fresh, new ideas.

Nuvangyaoma and Tenakhongva will take

their oath and be sworn into Office by Hopi

Court, Chief Judge Karen Pennington on December 1, at 9am in the Hopi Tribal Council

Chamber. They will immediately assume their

Louella Nahsonhoya

Hopi Tutuveni

For nearly half a year,

the Budget Oversight Team

(BOT) diligently worked

on preparing a FY2018

General Fund budget to

present to the Tribal Council for approval, considering all factors, including

the directive to cut the

2018 budget by 12% of the

2017 base budget. In October, the BOT presented a

budget to the Council for

consideration.

After still further reviews

and hours of more meetings, the Council approved

the FY2018 General Fund

Operating Budget and the

Expenditure Authorization

and Appropriations Language in the amount of

$17,290,980.00 on Nov. 8,

2017. Excerpts from Resolution H-115-17, reads:

“all expenditures from the

Hopi Tribe’s Fiscal Year

2018 General Fund Budget shall be in strict accordance with the Fiscal Year

2018 Expenditure Authorization and Appropriations

Language, which is hereby

approved, attached here-

to and incorporated in this

Resolution.”

“The Treasurer of the

Hopi Tribe is authorized

to prepare and submit the

required SF 1034’s for the

twelve (12) month period

to the Bureau of Indian

Affairs in order to draw

down from the unrestricted

Proceeds of Labor Funds,

(which are part of the projected Fiscal Year 2018

General Fund Budget Revenues) in the amount of

$14,333,154.00 with each

month draw-down in the

amount of $1,194,429.50

the remaining amount

of $2,957,826.00 will be

drawn from various revenue accounts identified on

the FY 2018 General Fund

Revenue Projection sheet.”

“The Tribal Treasurer is

authorized to expend said

funds in accordance with the

approved Hopi Tribe’s Fiscal Management Policies.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Noreen Sakiestewa

Hopi Department of Education

The Hopi Tribe, through the Department of Education, and in collaboration

with the Hopi Tribal Council, the Hopi

Board of Education, and School Administrators and Leaders, are leading the effort for our stakeholders to envision an

educational system that will educate and

prepare our youth for the 21st Century.

A Tribal Education Department (TED)

grant was funded to the Hopi Department of Education from the Bureau of

Indian Education, and with this funding,

the Hopi Tribe contracted with Public

Works, LLC, one of the leading firms in

the country carrying out reviews of educational policy, programs, performance,

curriculum, and organization. There

were a number of competitive proposals,

and Public Works stood out because they

have had decades of experience in performance reviews, education policy, and

community engagement, including preBudget and Expendi- vious education work with Indian tribes,

ture Authorization and including North Dakota, Alaska, and

Appropriations

Lan- Utah. The Public Works team includes

guage available on P8. professionals with extensive careers in

Approved Budget P.9 education, administration, community

PublicWorks, LLC Team Members

building, and public section.

Public Works, LLC, visited the Hopi

reservation (November 6-9, 2017), to

meet with school administrators, school

board members, school staff, and community members to learn our thoughts

and concerns about our current educational system, as well as our hopes, aspirations, and vision of our school system.

Community engagement is an important part of this project and we are committed to ensuring that everyone has a voice

in these important conversations. As part

of this effort, four different surveys will

be distributed to (1) administrators and

teachers, (2) Hopi school(s) parents, (3)

high school students, and (4) community

members (on and off-reservation). Now

is your opportunity to have an impact

on the vision of education by completing a survey.

You may contact Dr. Noreen Sakiestewa at (928)734-3501 or NSakiestewa@

AVID elementary program prepares

students for their future

Stan Bindell

Hopi Tutuveni

Sixty Advancement Via

Individual Determination

(AVID) students from

Keams Canyon Elementary School visited Hopi

Jr/Sr High School Nov. 13

to learn about the AVID

program at HJSHS. This

is the first year for AVID

at KCES, which now has

AVID classes for the third

through sixth graders.

AVID is a program for

college bound students and

helps students with study

skills by showing them everything from taking notes

to organizing their work.

Several of the AVID students were also interviewed

by Hopi High School print

journalism students.

Renee Paxson, who

teaches the 21 third grade

AVID students at KCES,

said she teaches the WICOR

method which

stands for writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading. She

said these 21st Century

skills include note taking

and three inch binders

where students organize

the work from all their

subjects.

Leroy Thomas, the sixth

grade AVID teacher, said

he appreciates the binders,

the reading and the Cornell note strategies that

come from AVID. He said

his students learn E.Q.,

which stands for essential

questions when they have

a lesson.

“This provides a learning goal and they make it

into a question,” he said.

“It’s higher level thinking

that gets students to generate questions.”

Kimberly Thomas, lead

teacher, said she taught

fourth grade AVID this

year when KCES started

out the school year without a fourth grade teacher.

She likes the AVID program because it involves

a lot of writing. She said

another teacher is leaving

the fifth grade so she will

be taking over that AVID

class. She said AVID is

a great network because

AVID teachers share a

common language.

“I want to see AVID

used in all the schools,”

she said.

Diane Albert, who became the fourth grade

AVID teacher shortly

after the beginning of

the school year, said she

wishes AVID was in more

schools because it’s a beneficial program. She said

AVID showed the students that they are never

too young to take notes.

“AVID is learning to

observe and then sort out

the information,” she said.

Paxson said the KCES

students were also excited

to take a tour of HJSHS.

She said AVID improves

students’

assessment

scores.

“It’s about being successful students,” she said.

Laurel Poleyestewa, academic advisor at KCES,

said the elementary school

students are learning skills

that the high school students should already have.

She said AVID teaches

students to not lose notes

and how they should

study for tests.

Paxson said she learned

about AVID from Poleyestewa who previously

worked as an academic counselor at HJSHS.

Paxson said her son Alan,

now a sophomore, has

been in AVID since the

seventh grade.

“I had exposure as a

parent about how AVID is

the best program for motivating students,” she said.

“AVID infuses the best

practices of teaching to

make learning fun. If they

don’t know something it

becomes a goal to learn it.

It’s building a mindset for

students to do what they

want.”

The KCES AVID program earlier this year visited the Northern Arizona

University

engineering

program so the young students could see what that

program was like. They

also visited Laguna Elementary School in New

Mexico so KCES students could see how AVID

worked there.

Paxson said AVID

should raise test scores

and grades. This is Paxson’s third year at KCES.

Before that she taught at

First Mesa Elementary

School for 12 years. She

is a graduate of Hopi High

School and earned her BA

in elementary education

from NAU.

“I’m excited to be a part

of AVID,” Paxson said.

Message from Chairman-elect Message from Vice ChairmanTimothy L. Nuvangyaoma elect Clark W. Tenakhongva

“Hopi/Tewa Sinomuy!! Pay nu uh, Chairman-Elect Tim Nuvangyaoma. Kwakwa

iitam ah kuyvaya!! Pay haapi nu halayi angkeh uma sinom yan nuy pa’angwayah.

Pay haapi ovii ahne toqti, sinom haapi lolomat nahnahwaknayah. Yahpi’ngwat iitam

umuy sinmuy wuwankyang umungem tumalaytani.

Thank you to all the Hopi/Tewa Sinom, both on and off the reservation, that supported my message of the need for positive change for our people and our villages.

The results of this election are a clear message sent by the people that positive change

is what they want, and cannot go ignored by the administrative offices, and most importantly, the Hopi Tribal Council.

The Office of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, the Hopi Tribal Council, and the Hopi/

Tewa Sinom face some huge challenges. At this juncture, it is critical that we all come

together to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. The Chairman’s office is committed to working in tandem with the Vice Chairman’s office, and together,

will take on the challenges we face. I go into my term confident and optimistic that

our community will overcome the many challenges we face.

My interest in petitioning for Chairman was based on real-time concerns of our

Hopi/Tewa people and the land that was gifted to us at the beginning of our time

here. A few of the concerns echoed locally and from sinom off reservation are: our

financial outlook, protection of our tribal lands and water rights, education, and social/

behavioral problems. My staff and I are committed to actively pursue viable solutions

to the issues we face as tribe. In addition, we are committed to positive forward momentum, to truly hear the voices of our community and let them know they are being

heard, to rebuild and strengthen the relationships amongst one another and our tribal

government, and to strengthen our economy and infrastructure out here on Hopi. I

maintain my position on empowering the Hopi/Tewa Sinom and the Villages.

Since the time I submitted my letter of interest, one thing has changed. I have

become more educated regarding issues we face. This is all thanks to the support I

have received from our local and extended community. There is still much more to

learn and I embrace the opportunity to continue to learn and listen to our community

members.

As Chairman-Elect, I call on our community to get involved so that WE, TOGETHER, can find the solutions to address some of these issues.

In conclusion, I’m still just a Hopi guy who cares deeply about his community and

has a strong desire and passion to do what’s in the best interest for the future of Hopi.

“ITAM AHWE IITA QATSIY ÖÖQALTOTANI”

Kwakwa,

Chairman-Elect Tim Nuvangyaoma

Chairman-elect

Timothy L. Nuvangyaoma

and

Vice Chairman-elect

Clark W. Tenakhongva

will be sworn into office

December 1, 9 a.m.

Hopi Tribal Council Chamber

“Kwa kwah, thank you to the 1600+ people who came out to vote in the Nov. 9

election. The results showed a big difference from the primary and I’m still trying

to come to reality about the results. I am honored by the 59% plus votes I received.

Thank you to all the Hopi people who came out to vote.

I thank my opponent Lamar Keevama for a good, clean campaign. We had good

debates at the public forums and meetings, and many good points were brought out.

I also want to thank the younger generation who supported and encouraged me to

run. I thank them for their ideas and opinions of what they would like to see in the

future for our people. We have highly educated and talented young Hopi individuals;

many who have left the reservation in pursuit of an education or training and continue

to live off the reservation, because of job security. Once they become trained and educated, there are no jobs to return to on the reservation. I encourage all young people

on and off the reservation to strive for a successful life.

Today there are many challenges and issues we face as a Hopi Tribe: the dilemma

of our tribal budget, our coal revenue, water issues, and the list goes on.

My #1 priority is Education; this is what I campaigned on. Our schools, from

Moenkopi to Keams Canyon, need to be aligned with one common standard. With a

common standard and goals, we can provide a quality education to our children while

still maintaining our language, Hopi lifestyle, customs, and traditions. These young

people are our future leaders and we need to prepare them to be successful. I am

looking at a young Dartmouth graduate, as a potential staff member, who will take

the lead in Education, business and other areas as assigned.

Another area I want to focus on is, our culture and cultural resources. I will work

with the Cultural Preservation Office (CPO). I have already met with a staff member

with knowledge of their priorities. Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, long-time Director, will

soon be leaving and someone will be hired to take his place. There are many important issues CPO is involved in: Little Colorado River, the Grand Canyon issue, Chinle

and Bears Ears; we will continue to lobby on these issues.

A short-term goal is economic development; especially, to visit the three canyon

ranch operations. What are they doing? What is the actual revenue they bring to the

Tribe? As a rancher and former President of the Hopi Livestock Association I am

knowledgeable of range management, marketing and priorities of our Hopi ranchers.

I can share our priorities with the 3 Canyon Ranch staff to yield a good product and

better financial returns.

I will meet with Councilman Keevama and the Economic Development Team for

an update on the investment of properties we purchased. What are the returns? I

will also look at the I-40 corridor studies, from Twin Arrows to Holbrook, which was

done in 2012. I understand there has already been some planning, and sites have been

identified, where properties could be established. We need to act quickly to bring in

new revenue for the Tribe.

Council needs to take a proactive approach to bring in new revenue, which should

have been done 10 years ago. We have failed our people. Because of the decline in

revenue, we are penalizing our tribal employees with a 12% budget cut and possibly

cutting work days to 3-4 days, which will have an adverse effect. If we are cutting

salaries for employees, the same should apply to Council reps. Perhaps we should

consider only 2 representatives per village to serve on Council. Council only meets 8

days out of the month; unlike regular employees, who work five days a week. I am

happy about the 638 and grant/contract programs. These programs apply for grant

funding to run their program operations and should not be penalized by the Tribe.

An old Hopi saying from Old Oraibi says eventually the council will go rotten or

stale. I think we are there now. We have not been productive in the last eight years.

It is not too late to become proactive and start providing deliverables to benefit our

Hopi/Tewa sinom.

Nuvangyaoma and I have made a commitment to work together, as officials elected

by the Hopi/Tewa people. We hope the Council does not separate the two offices, as

has happened in the past. According to my understanding of the Hopi hierarchy, the

people are on top, the Council, then the Chairman and Vice Chairman. I will take my

oath, remembering the people and the land that the creator gave us.

In the Hopi way, it is during this time that we start a new cycle and the regeneration

of life. My Hopi/Tewa Sinom, I wish you a prosperous, happy and healthy life.”

Kwakwah,

Vice Chairman-elect Clark Tenakhongva

Hopi Tribe Fiscal Year 2018 Budget

Expenditure Authorization

& Appropriations Language

(Editor’s Note: Table of Contents not included in this publication. A complete version of the 2018

Expenditure Authorization & Appropriations Language is available at the Office of the Tribal Secretary)

INTRODUCTION

Tribal Fiscal Management Responsibility:

As the governing body of the Hopi Tribe, the Hopi

Tribal Council holds constitutional authority to manage the economic affairs of the Tribe through raising and dispersing Tribal funds for the welfare of

the Tribe. (See Constitution and By-Laws of the Hopi

Tribe, ARTICLE VI, SECTION 1 (e) and (f)).

General Fund Budget Development Process:

The Budget Oversight Team (BOT) is identified in

Section IV of the Hopi Tribe’s Fiscal Management Policies and consists of the following: Chairman, Vice

Chairman, Tribal Treasurer, Tribal Secretary, Executive Director, Finance Director, Community Services

Administrator, Regulated Entities representative, Hopi

Tribal Court representative, and alternate members of

the team. The task of leading this effort was delegated

to the Vice Chairman. This work is supported through

Hopi Tribal Council resolution H-073-2011, that calls

for those listed program/department/personnel representatives to participate in meetings, work sessions

and presentations all with the goal of developing a

final budget.

Hopi Tribal Council directed BOT to complete a

proposed FY 2018 budget with an 8% reduction from

the FY 2017 approved budget. This reduction was not

to be “across the board” for all General Fund programs,

it is based on the “bottom line” (Total Budget) of FY

2017. (See attachment “A”)

The General Fund Budget Appropriations request

for Fiscal Year 2018 is $17,290,980.00.

This figure is based on the following:

1. FY 2018 revenue projection: $15,922,745.00, with

additional $1,368,235.00 from Proceeds of Labor

account or General Fund Wells Fargo account.

2. Review of expenditure reports (to date) for Fiscal

Year 2016

3. Review of individual Department/Program/Entity

budget proposal packets containing:

a. Program Overview

b. Goals & Measurable Objectives

c. Budget Justifications

d. Salary Sheet

e. Consolidated Budget summaries

Expenditure Authorization & Appropriation Language

and Fiscal Management Policies of the Hopi Tribe:

The FY 2018 Expenditure Authorization and Appropriations Language set the guidelines to promote prudent use of the financial resources of the Hopi Tribe.

The Hopi Tribal Council hereby mandates all Tribal

modifications to the Salary and Fringe Benefit line

items will be allowed.

Hopi Tutuveni

Hopi High School held its first coffee house of the school year Nov. 16 in the cafeteria. The idea was to show off the skills and talents of students in the various programs.

The advanced guitar class performed, students displayed art work, students read

poetry and the computer graphic arts class also showed off their work.

Some of the guitar students performed solos such as Stacy Charley’s rendition of

“50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.”

“Don’t get any ideas,” Charley told the audience.

Amber LaBahe not only performed with the guitars, but read a poem she wrote for

Blue Jirak’s English class. Hailey Kardell performed her rendition of Elton John’s

“This is Your Song.”

The guitar class finished with their stunning tune of “LaBamba.”

Emma Talashoma’s cooking class provided coffee, hot chocolate and pastries for

the audience. About 50 parents, friends and students attended.

Charley said the idea of the coffee house was to bring the school together.

“We wanted students to show off their talents and passions,” he said.

Labahe said the coffee shop went well and gave her life. She said the coffee shop

was a chance for the students to show their parents about their serious passions.

“It was mainly for the entertainment for the public and a time for the advanced

guitar group to show their dedication,” she said. “The public was great. I mean they

made me feel so relaxed. The crowd applauded so much. “It’s not just something we

have to do. It’s something we want to do,” she said.

Kardell said the coffee shop was fun and went well. She said the best part of the

coffee shop was the snacks. She said the coffee shop could be improved by having

more students participate.
