me realize that I can do just that.
Throughout the campus, the people that I was most impressed with
were all the NAU media students. It amazed me to see how they were
holding up with their daily lives while also attending to their college
education. It was fun to be on campus with everybody else and getting
an insight of what the college lifestyle is like.
Later, I would consider majoring in media, specifically print journalism. Media is important to me in many ways because it is the most
powerful tool of communication and it helps to promote the right news
at the right time. I’d consider going to NAU for their exceptional communications department, but I’m also looking at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Communications.
Bruin Times Editor
A recent Hopi High School media trip to Northern Arizona University was fantastic. There was a lot that was taught to us by the students
that were a part of TV broadcasting class.
The tour around the campus was beneficial. The best part about the

Lumberjack Newspaper. The information was extensive and helpful in
ways I could use to my advantage once I graduate from high school.
Taking in all the information and hands-on experience drives me to
do more for myself, learn extra in the media field and making the best
of it. I feel that I’ve become more motivated to do what I enjoy, which
is print journalism. Thanks to the students of NAU because they helped

at WindowRock Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
The Elderly of Sichomovi participated in the 2014 Winslow’s 68th AnTournament
nual Parade Christmas Parade on Nov. 22nd. The theme for the parade was,
“Christmas Caroling Clan”.
“We all came up with the idea to sing “Silent Night” in Hopi,” said Edna
Komaletstewa, an Elder of Sichomovi village. “We also wanted everyone
to know that we are learning our culture and language and hopefully get
the youth interested.”
Taeil Lim, Senior Pastor of First Mesa Baptist Church was asked to come
help the ladies sing Silent Night, in Hopi since he is excellent in reading
and singing hopi hymnals. Lim has been the Pastor of First Mesa Baptist
Congratulations Church since 2008.
“They thought I could sing well in Hopi even though I’m Korean,” said

The day before the parade all the women made traditional Hopi foods

ADS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Hopi Tribe has begun work on the 2015 Hazard Mitigation Plan
A planning team made up of representatives from the Hopi Tribe’s departments,
Agencies and Villages is meeting regularly to update the 2010 Hopi Tribe Multi-Hazard
Mitigation Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to ensure our people and property are as
safe as possible from the effects of disaster events and that the Hopi Tribe is eligible for
Federal disaster recovery funds following a major disaster.
The Plan focuses on the Hopi Reservation’s most threatening natural hazards (dam
failure, drought, flood, landslide/rock fall, severe wind and winter storms) and provides a
strategy to reduce or eliminate the risks from those hazards.
You may view the 2010 Hopi Hazard Mitigation Plan you may view it at www.hopinsn.gov. You may submit your comments to vsidney@hopi.nsn.us.
The planning team anticipates having a draft of the updated 2015 Hopi Tribe Hazard
Mitigation Plan by early 2015, at which time the public will be provided access to the
Plan and the opportunity to comment.

The Philosophy of Christmas

The philosophy around Christmas is that if you are
good you get gifts! If you are bad you get nothing. The

Year after year we tell our children and loved ones this.

God knew this; God knew we could not make it to heaven on our own, so He gave us a gift! “Ephesians 2:8-9 For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man
should boast.” “John 3:16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
This is why at Christmas time we celebrate the birth
of Jesus Christ. God knew we could not earn heaven on
our own, so He came to pay for our sins for us, because
He loves us! God left heaven, was born as a human, was
tortured and crucified, but He also rose from the dead!
This proved that He is God and has victory over death,
Hell, and the grave. So He who is perfect came to earth
to die for the sinner (you and I), that we may be clean and
have everlasting life! So God, because He loves us, gave
us a gift that we cannot earn. All we have to do is believe
on Him and ask Him to save us. “Romans 10:3 For they
being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about
to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted
themselves unto the righteousness of God.”

all had fun and when they came inside they were out of
breathe. They told us about my boyfriend falling down
and they were all laughing at him.
After everyone came inside we ate. We had all kinds
of delicious food, such as mashed potatoes, gravy, yams,
turkey, ham, a variety of different kinds of breads, fruit
salads, squash, cranberries, olives, casseroles and many
different desserts. We had about 10 pies for everyone to
eat. We all ate together at one table so that we could all
have a feast together as one. It made it special.
After we were done eating, we played bingo. My boyfriend and I had a blast because we kept winning. He even
won the jackpot. Everyone in my family loves it when my
boyfriend comes over because they say he’s funny and all
the kids adore him because he plays with them.
While we were playing bingo, we were eating dessert.
Bingo took forever because everyone brought so many
prizes. We played up till about 10 p.m. After it was over,
we had so much food left over, we made everyone take
some food home with home before they left. I was glad
some food was left over for us at our house because
Thanksgiving leftovers are the best.
This Thanksgiving Day was amazing. I spent it with
people I love. The food was delicious and everyone had a
wonderful time. I wish we had more Thanksgiving days in
the year so we can eat big and be with our families.
Growing Up Great - a partnership program between
the Hopi Tribe and the Coconio Regional Partnership Council of First Things First
Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
The Coconino Regional Partnership Council of First Things First (FTF) invited
local community members and Tribal Leaders to attend their tour of a FTF funded
program, “Growing up Great” Parent Education class on Dec.2 at the Hotevilla Head
Start Center. The tour highlighted how FTF is partnering with Hopi to provide health
and early education opportunities for children during the most important years of life.
The Growing Up Great program of the Association for Supportive Child Care
(ASCC) serves rural Northern Arizona to provide education and support parents to
help their children from ages birth to five years to grow up socially, emotionally and
cognitive ready to achieve in school and in life.
“This is an opportunity to engage and involve community members in the important
mission that everyone has responsibility for and that is to help our children learn to
grow up ready,” said Cynthia Pardo, First Things First Community Outreach Coordinator. “We want to show how this program is really working to help children from
birth to age five help them be ready for kindergarten and ready for life.”
Four Hopi families voluntarily attended classes for the last seven weeks to build
skills and boost their confidence knowing they are their child’s first teacher and to give
them skills in a quality learning environment at home. The class was held once a week
at the Hotevilla Head Start center.
The tour gave guests a glimpse of the classroom environment where the parents
were taught and they also got to see the interaction between the parents and their children. Child care was offered while the parents were in class.
At the beginning of the training, each parent set a goal for their children to accomplish at the end of the training. The parents were taught play base techniques, read
their child’s cues and how to communicate, discipline in positive ways and they also
learned a lot about brain development.
Parents who attended the training were given an incentive such as musical instruments and puzzles and other things that will benefit their families.
FTF is a statewide organization that works to ensure that all children ages five years
and younger are healthy and prepared to enter kindergarten. It is a funded program
through a tobacco tax from a proposition that was passed several years ago and as a
result, the funding from this tax went to Early Childhood programs.
The Coconino Regional Partnership Council is responsible for funding early childhood programs in the area of early learning, family support, and health across the
Coconino region, including Hopi.
“When representatives of First Things First visited the Hopi Tribe, the Hopi Chairman at the time decided to get on board with the Coconino County region because the
numbers on Hopi were very low in terms of funding,” said Dr. Noreen Sakiestewa,
Director of the Hopi Education Program and member of the Coconino Regional Partnership Council.
The Council is made up of 11 council members from different parts of the region
and different sectors in the community.
“Our task is to lay a strong foundation for our children in the early years when it

matters most because we know that 90% of the brain is developed by age five,” said
Sakiestewa.
First Things First has several programs they fund in the Hopi area are Kith and Kin,
Parents as Teachers, Reach Out and Read, Quality First, KinderCamp, Smart Smiles
and Growing up Great.
“As a community we want our children to be prepared with the tools ready to learn
with the social and emotional cognitive development to do well in school, not fall
behind and graduate,” said Pardo.
Here are some facts on Early Childhood Development provided by First Things
First:
Studies show that children exposed to high-quality early childhood education:
Have better language, math and social skills, and better relationships with classmates.
Have better cognitive and sensory skills and experience less anxiety.
Score higher in school-related readiness tests.
Are less likely to need special education or be held back a grade.
The next tour will be held on Dec. 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to tour the Kith
and Kin Project at the Tewa Administration Building. The tour will highlight how
family and friend caregivers of young children are educated to improve the quality of
child care they provide in their homes.

HOPI HIGH SCHOOL BRUINS
NAU Trip motivates Krienne
Pahovama to do more in Media
Allyssia Humeyestewa
Bruin Times Staff
Hopi High Radio student Krienne Pahovama was one of 15 Hopi High students to
visit the Communications Department at Northern Arizona University on Dec. 2nd.
Pahovama said, during the visit, she learned how to do graphics and switch cameras
in the control room. Pahovama said her favorite part of the trip was when the whole
class had the opportunity to be on TV during a live news show.
Pahovama said the trip could have been improved by her asking more questions to
the people who were on set. Pahovama was in the photography section and she said
it was interesting to see photography equipment and all the many pictures students
take in the photography classes.
Pahovama said the TV newscasters were friendly and they were hard workers.
Pahovama said she thought the studio was amazing with all the camera equipment
and all the colorful buttons in the control room. She liked it a lot.
Pahovama said this trip motivated her to do more with subjects in the media field.
Pahovama said she enjoyed a tour around the NAU campus. She liked the tour guide
because she was friendly and shared lots of information with the class.
Pahovama said the most interesting part at NAU was the entire news broadcasting
crew because they all do different jobs on set and they all work together to be able to
pull off an excellent show. Pahovama said this trip was important to her because she
is interested in learning more about radio.

A trip to Northern Arizona University’s Communication Department in Flagstaff was
an amazing trip. Everything about it was fun and interesting. Our day was packed in with
so many fun activities.
The best part about the trip was that we had the opportunity to see close up TV broadcasting live. We got to sit in on an actual live show and had a chance to see how everything was recorded and put together both in the control room and the studio. Also, my

favorite part was getting to eat at the Hot Spot at NAU. It had delicious desserts. We also
ate at Peter Piper Pizza, which was fun, but sadly we didn’t order any hot wings.
I learned so much interesting information about media such as all the equipment they
use when recording for TV broadcasting. An interesting fact about the studio is that when
they are recording live you have to turn off your cell phones because it could interfere
with the broadcast.
This trip motivated me to look more into doing more in the media field because everything the students do there seems fun. The students at NAU get to be around this
equipment everyday, I would love to be able to do that.
I was most impressed with the TV broadcasting crew because everybody on the set is
assigned to do something. They each have a job to do to make everything possible. After
hearing what they all do on set, I realize what it takes to put a show together.
After going on this trip, I became more interested in TV broadcasting. I want to be
able to be on camera because the people who get to be on camera look so professional
and sophisticated. I would love to go on other media trips if they were somewhat like this
trip we went on because we had hands-on information from the friendly students at NAU.
I prefer video more then any other media because everything you see in the control
room makes your eyes astonished by all the activities they do in there. Media is important
to me because media is everywhere. Without media the world would be boring. There

Pinto and Figueroa new HRES Police Officers
Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
The Hopi Resource Enforcement Services increased their police force as two cadets graduated from the Northern Arizona Regional Training Academy (NARTA) in
Prescott, AZ on Dec. 4 at the Yavapai College Performance Hall.
DuVaughn Figueroa and Evan Silas graduated with Class 37 along with 33 recruits
from various police departments from around Northern Arizona.
Lt. Willis Sequi said it’s an honor to have two more officers on board and having
them accomplish their goal in becoming police officers.
“It adds to the personnel; two additional police officers once they complete their
Field Training with the department,” said Sequi.
The new officers will then be assigned to work on the range or in the village. HRES
will have a total of 16 sworn officers.
Officer Duvaughn Figueroa
Figueroa is Bear clan from the village of Mishongnovi and is married to Lynette
Figueroa and they have three boys, Jaron, Dontae and Tai.
“It’s an awesome feeling to graduate,” said Figueroa. “I’ve learned a lot that I hope
to implement some of the techniques I learned here as far as keeping our communities
safe.”
One of the biggest challenges for him was being away from his family for 17 weeks
and the academics.
“Academics are one of the things they stress here,” said Figueroa.

into the game. Our bench did a tremendous job getting us back into the game.”
Coach Youvella said the Hopi defense was not as aggressive as it should have been
at the start of the game.
“We switched to the man-to-man defense to make them more responsible,” she said.
“We’ve improved our rebounding, but we have much more to do.”
Coach Youvella said the Lady Bruins work on their rebounding, layups and free
throws every day in practice. He said Hopi should be hitting 70-80 percent of their
free throws, but are only converting 50-60 percent.
“We need to get better,” he said.
Coach Youvella said Seechoma showed “the heart of a lion” in the second half.
“Taylor plays bigger than she is,” he said. “She’s a spark plug who’s willing to do
what we need.”
Coach Youvella said Kooyaquaptewa stepped up in the second half.

second half. She needs to relax and just take her power shots,” he said. “She’s blocking out more and getting fundamentally sound. We look to her for our rebounding.”
Coach Youvella also praised the play of Harvey, Lara Gutierrez, Howato and Day.
“Jennaya is also a spark plug with tremendous athletic ability and doesn’t know
how to quit,” he said.
Coach Youvella said in order to make state the Lady Bruins need to win the games
they are supposed to win and then beat some of the bigger schools.
“We can’t have slow starts against the bigger schools,” he said.
POLACCA, ARIZ.---Hopi High School girls basketball team erupted for 15 straight
points bridging the third and fourth periods to come from behind and defeat Pinon,
64-54, Dec. 11 at Hopi High.
The Lady Bruins improved to 4-4 while the Lady Eagles dropped to 1-3.
Super sophomore Taylor Seechoma poured in 23 points off the bench to lead Hopi.
Shanna Kooyaquaptewa and Ashley Harvey fired in 11 points apiece, Ryesa Howato
tossed in five, Taminny Lara Gutierrez netted four, Jennaya Day scored three and
Heather Huma added two points.
April Bitsui topped Pinon with 19 points, J.D. Begay fired in 11, Sarah Cambridge
tossed in 10, Tyrae Silver sank seven, Adrianna Frances finished with four, Henriann
Bitsui netted three and Fancy Joe scored a deuce.
April Bitsui led Pinon for most of the game, but ended up in foul trouble. She sank
a rebound shot to give the Lady Eagles a 43-35 edge with 1:09 left in the third period.
That was Seechoma’s call to take control of the game along with the Hopi High’s defense. Following four turnovers, Seechoma converted two layups and a rebound shot
and Howato added a foul shot as the Lady Bruins tied the game 43-43 at the end of
the third period.
Kooyaquaptewa took over at the start of the fourth period as she poured in the points
and grabbed rebounds. She hit a foul shot and a layup. Howato sank two more free
throws and Kooyaquaptewa converted another layup as Hopi grabbed a 50-43 edge

Pinon’s Henriann Bitsui interrupted with a foul shot, but the Lady Bruins ran off
another 11 straight points. Seechoma sank two more layups, Lara Gutierrez nailed a
trey, Kooyaquaptewa hit a rebound shot and Seechoma knocked down two more free
throws as Hopi led 61-44 with 3:31 remaining in the fourth period. The Lady Bruins
just coasted to the victory from that point.
Hopi started out both halves in lackadaisical form. Bitsui scored four points in the
opening period as Pinon led 11-4. Seechoma netted six points in the second stanza as
Hopi pulled within 30-24 at intermission.
Bitsui scored six points in the third period as the Lady Eagles grabbed that 43-35
edge before the Lady Bruins came storming back.
Hopi High Coach Wallace Youvella Jr. said the game was definitely a battle.
“We started sluggish, but after we made some changes in the lineup we were able
to operate the offense,” he said. “Give Pinon credit because they took us out of our
Pinon beat Hopi 71-38 in the boys basketball game

The smaller Hopi Mission School Bruins were outmatched by the Second Mesa Day School Bobcats
during a basketball game on Dec. 9 at the Hopi Mission
School.
The Bruins (blue) played their best against a team that
had more players and had height advantage. The Bobcats (purple) had a total of 16 boys and 10 girls while
the smaller Mission School Bruins team only had 8 girls
and 8 boys.
Parents and family members were in attendance to
watch their children play. The games are a friendly competition between each of the local elementary schools
sponsored by the Hopi Elementary Athletic League
(HEAL).
The Bobcats won the JV Girls game with a score of
34 – 12 and 40 – 9 for the JV Boys.
Bobcats coaches are Devan Lomayaoma, JV Boys and

Special devices (home teleays.health) can do this and are easy to use. Home telehealth can connect a Veteran to a VA hospital from home using regular telephone lines. VA has
found that not every patient is suitable for this kind of care. But, for those that are, Home Telehealth can help them to remain at home and live
independently.
Hopi Head Start Christmas Programs
Many thousands of Veteran patients are regularly using home telehealth devices to coordinate their care. VA finds that patients easily learn how to
use these devices and are highly satisfied with Home Telehealth.

expected to begin in June 2015. NPC will partner with the regional office of Housing and Urban
Development on the sale of the house. The proceeds will be the seed money for subsequent house
building, thus continuing the initial project.
“Building Homes – Building Futures! is modeled on the highly successful pilot Holbrook
Community Garden project this past summer,” explained Mark Vest, NPC’s vice president for Learning
and Student Services. “It brings together a collaboration of community involvement – the donation of
land for the project; a strong relationship with the Navajo and Apache County Workforce Partnership
(WIA); and integrated college involvement across multiple departments.”
Harris stressed the new equipment will enhance career opportunities for all students completing
the Automotive Technology program. “The bottom line is we are training individuals for a career, not a
job. It is not just turning wrenches. I push my students to complete their Associate of Applied Science
(AAS) degree, opening up future management positions.”
As students complete each of the areas of specialization, they complete ASE Student Certification
exams. “That certificate is good for two years and allows them to get hired and learn on-‐the-‐job, then re-‐
test for professional-‐level certification,” explained Harris. “By the second year in the NPC/NAVIT
program, students have obtained seven of the nine certificates, qualifying them for positions in parts

five are employed in the construction trades. NPC’s partner WIA assisted with recruitment and
identification of project participants, provided student supplies and instructional materials, helped
completers in planning for and enrolling in post-‐secondary education and provided assistance in finding
jobs in the construction industry.
NPC’s Construction and Adult Basic Education faculty have developed a series of fully-‐integrated
courses, as well as an Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-‐BEST) model for team teaching
academic and career skills to be used by other NPC Career and Technical Education departments.
