On May 11, 2018, Chairman Nuvangyaoma and Vice Chairman Tenakahongva signed Executive Order #22018, Declaration of Exceptional

Drought on the Hopi Reservation (see

Declaration on page 6 of this issue).

“Exceptional drought” – the highest

or most severe category of drought

– describes areas experiencing widespread crop and pasture losses, fire

risk, shortages of water in reservoirs,

streams, and wells, and creating water emergencies. Mike Crimmins, a

climate scientist at the University of

Arizona, explains that the term “exceptional drought” describes a “the

kind of drought you’d see in a location, at that time of year, once every

50 years”.

On June 15, 2018, Crimmins and his

colleague Daniel Ferguson, Director

of Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) program, participated in a meeting at the Mennonite

Church in Kykotsmovi. Organized by

the Hopi Drought Task Team and the

Vice-Chairman’s office of the Hopi

Tribe. The meeting addressed the conditions here on the Hopi reservation,

and gave a brief summary of how climate change is affecting the...

On June 7, 2018 Chairman Timothy Nuvangyaoma and Vice Chairman Clark Tenakhongva traveled

with a delegation of tribal councilmen to the Central Arizona Project (CAP) for a board meeting to

submit public comments on pending power purchase agreements.

These contracts would replace coal

energy upon closure of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) at

the end of 2019. Hopi Chairman

Nuvangyaoma has been a tireless

voice championing efforts to keep

NGS operating and has traveled to

Washington D.C. to give testimony

before congress. Both he and Vice

Chairman Clark Tenakhongva had

spoken at a rally a day earlier at the

state Capitol, along with the United

Mine Workers and Peabody to ask

the CAP Board for 90 more days

as it appeared a new owner, identified as Middle River Power, was

in the process of taking next steps

to negotiate the possible purchase

of NGS.

Heightening the sense of urgency, Assistant Secretary for Water

and Science Timothy R. Petty, issued a letter from the United States

Department of Interior to the CAP

Board of Directors and General

Manager arguing that the Colorado River Basin Project Act of 1968

authorized NGS as the sole provider of CAP power. Coal power is

presently used to generate energy

to pump the water from the Lower Basin Colorado River down into

central Arizona. The letter cited

specific passages that supported

these initial claims, however, in

present times, NGS is not the sole

provider of CAP power today, al-

though it is its largest customer.

Chairman Nuvangyaoma, Vice

Chairman Tenakhongva and other

members of the Hopi delegation

implored the CAP Board to not vote

on any power purchase agreements

so as to allow more time for Middle

River Power to assess what steps

would need to be taken if they were

to move ahead with the purchase of

NGS. Those steps include re-negotiating land lease agreements with

both Navajo and Hopi tribes, addressing environmental regulations

and having the purchase approved

by the current owners, including

the Bureau of Reclamation. It’s a

tall order by any measure and with

time running out for new owners to

purchase NGS, the CAP Board voted to approve two power purchase

agreements. One of the agreements

adds cleaner, less expensive solar

energy to the CAP portfolio.

Larry’s Corner

To Be or Not To Be...That is the Question

Advice from a

Cat

by: Larry Watahamagee

What is assimilation? Or a better

question would be is assimilation important to the Hopi Nation? I ask this

question because of the way we as a

Hopi society moosas included never had an easy road to get to where

we are today. If you’re a history buff

you will know the history of the Hopi

people’s trials and tribulations, which

have been endured. We as a Hopi

have been through so much in such a

short time period and have adapted to

western society as a means of survival and we did it very quickly.

When we think of western society, we think of fast cars and the fast

life in the major city all the glitz and

glamour. Traditional Hopis think that

is not the way to live while; progressive Hopis think that is the future of

the Hopi people. I observed Hopis

confronting western society as not

traditional and not the way Hopi is,

but in a number of ways we have

made western culture and society our

own. To me, I think that is a form of

assimilation or adaption to new ideas

that we just go through as a society

and I’m pretty sure that we as a Hopi

nation are not the only ones that go

through this.

The dictionary says that assimilation is the process of taking in and

fully understanding information and/

or ideas. So I understand (as a Hopi

cat) that by mixing Hopi tradition

and western culture we understand

how to adapt to everyday living on

the Hopi reservation. I think this is

why we as Hopi like to blend a contemporary lifestyle made by western

influences so well that we use this in

our traditional dances as well.

I was at a Hopi cultural dance recently and I observed a lot of women with “contemporary” dresses

and shawls and they looked very

pretty with their floral patterns and

native designs on their dresses. It

made it seem that I was at a fashion

show from the 1996 sears “cat”alog

or something like that. With that in

mind, I had two thoughts about what

I saw. First thought; I want to eat my

fourth bowl of Hopi hominy stew, and

second is this a form of assimilation?

I wondered when did it become a tradition to only wear printed dresses

only on cultural dances? How come

I don’t see women wear those same

dresses at work? Men dress the same

at work and at cultural dances with

their Wranglers and boots and no one

looks at them any differently, I mean

you don’t see men wearing a special

printed kind of shirt and pants just

for that occasion; maybe men should

start that tradition.

Either way you look at it, we as

Hopis live in an assimilated society

even if it’s just a tiny amount of assimilation and how many of us question whether we have assimilated to

a dominant culture. I understand that

this has been going on for a long time

and that we just adjusted to the practices of how we do things now, so we

don’t question anything anymore.

I think the reason we don’t question our practices because we are

taught at a young age that certain

things are done in a certain way and

it is qa’kyaptsita (not respectful) to

question the elders who we think

hold all the “meowledge”, so we just

assume that we must do things in a

certain manner. I really want to know

how Hopi society came to be like

this, but meowing about this might

make Hopi people uncomfortable because we as a society, even some of

the moosas are of a modest kind of

society.

Trust me when I say that cats don’t

dance, why? Because it makes us

look silly and plus we don’t know

how, I guess we never assimilated

that part of human culture so we will

never learn to dance.

My advice to you is that living a

balanced culture is sometimes hard

to do, but if we just keep in mind the

outcome we want, we can live our

lives in a balanced way.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Drought is Not the

Only Thing

Impacting Hopi

Agriculture

Michael Kotutwa Johnson

Guest Editorial

The Executive Order signed

by Chairman Nuvangyaoma and

Vice Chairman Tenakahongva declaring exceptional drought conditions on the Hopi Reservation

comes as no surprise. As a doctoral candidate in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment (SNRE) at the University of

Arizona I study Natural Resource

Management, with a specific focus on the conservation practices

used in Native agricultural and

various issues related to American

Indian natural resources decisions

on the use of water, coal, oil and

timber on Native lands. As a tribal

member and farmer, I have experienced first-hand the impact of

drought on Hopi agriculture.

As a young man, I spent many

summers with my grandfather

Fred Johnson (Fire and Wood

Clan) learning to plant, tend and

harvest our traditional crops on

our family’s farm located between

Second and Third Mesa. So, like

most Hopi farmers I know what

drought can do to our crops and

like most Hopi farmers I have

learned to adapt to changes in the

environment using a variety of

techniques (planting deeper and

spacing further apart for instance)

taught to me not only by my

grandfather, but also other Hopi

farmers from different villages.

Drought is nothing new on the

Hopi Reservation. We have always had periods of drought over

our long history of being here.

What is different between the past

and the current drought is we are

not as involved in the practice of

farming like we used to, and we

are not teaching our youth the cultural and moral values that define

the importance of farming even

when environmental conditions

are extreme, such as the exceptional drought we are experiencing today.

Our ancestors were better prepared and better able to adapt to

these conditions than we are.

In the past, for instance, Hopi

farmers would save seeds from

previous droughts and plant them

in the drier than usual conditions

like we face now. Due to lack of

drought tolerant seeds and Hopi

seeds in general we produce less

crops and use up our own seeds to

fast. I am also aware that we purchase blue and white corn seeds

raised off the reservation to make

our traditional foods and even

plant. Planting seeds purchased

off the reservation may contain

bad genes that may hurt our own

Hopi corn varieties. Furthermore,

on a recent trip home I heard some

Hopi men say they are not going

to plant because it’s a drought and

they do not want to waste their

seeds. Did our ancestors say that

when they experienced drought?

How come we are no longer storing seeds like we used to? How

can we develop the drought resistant seed strains we need if don’t

plant?

Planting and saving our seeds

matter. If we do not have our traditional seeds, we cannot plant, and

we will have no crops, and if we

have no crops, we will have no traditional foods like Piki, and items

like beans, gourds, and corn to use

in Hopi ceremonies. We will also

not be able to re-supply our seed

stocks and have to buy even more

canned hominy from the store. I

have heard that we must protect

our seeds, but if we have no seeds

due the decrease in farming then

what will we protect?

I know not everyone will agree

with me, but we need to face the

truth that it is not just drought that

is impacting Hopi agriculture, it is

our own inability to take the time

to farm; to teach our youth about

the cultural and spiritual importance of Hopi agriculture. I am not

saying that all Hopi people don’t

still teach the traditional ways of

farming, but many do not. If this

was not true then we would not

be worrying about running out of

Hopi seeds like corn and beans

used in our traditional foods and

ceremonies. If more of us would

farm we would have our corn bins

full and seeds stored away to plant

no matter what the conditions

drought or no drought.

To prepare better for future

droughts we need to take better

care of ourselves and revitalize

the Hopi agricultural system. To

achieve this, I recommend the following:

1. Establish an educational agricultural related outreach

and resource center for the

Hopi community, as well

as to serve as an outside research entity specifically designed to provide research

opportunities to address the

issues around Hopi agricultural management.

2. Provide incentives for Hopi

youth to become farmers by

giving them the necessary

tools, skills, and financial

resources to do so.

3. Establish a tribal farm to

raise traditional Hopi crops

with seeds going directly

back to the community for

the establishment of new

Hopi fields and for the revitalization of existing, but

now abandoned, fields.

4. Develop policies at the federal, tribal, and even international level for (a) protection

of Hopi heirloom crops, (b)

improved access to USDA’s

Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) programs (like the Environmen-

tal Quality Incentives Program

(EQIP) and the Conservation

Stewardship Program (CSP)),

and (c) designation of Hopi as

Globally Important Agricultural Important Heritage System

(GIAHS) site.

We need to keep the practice of

farming alive not only for ourselves,

but for future generations of Hopi

people. Although we have had our

differences, we are a strong and resilient community. It is this sense of

community that makes us strong and

by working together we can revitalize

and further strengthen our agriculture

system and way of life. For if we continue to care for our “mother” (corn),

she will continue to take care of us.

Michael Kotutwa Johnson is from

the Village of Kykotsmovi. As a PhD

Candidate in the UofA’s School of

Renewable Natural Resources and

the Environment, Michael’s dissertation focuses on different aspects of

conservation as it relates to Hopi agriculture. Michael is also the curator

of the exhibit, The Resiliency of Hopi

Agriculture: 2000 Years of Planting,

at the Arizona State Museum in Tucson through June 2019.

Feasibility Study on Hopi Education, Cont.

Chapter 1: Governance of

Hopi Education

The ultimate goal of Hopi schools – and of all

people the review team talked with on Hopi – is to

achieve the best possible education for every Hopi

child. In whatever way one defines this – whether as attainment on measures of primary and secondary education, preparation to hold jobs and to

compete in the 21st Century economy, or mastery

of Hopi concepts of the world and how to live in

it – the Hopi schools are not wholly fulfilling this

mission.

The report begins with governance because it is

both the motivating factor for the TED grant and

the commissioning of the feasibility study, and a

highly-debated subject within the Hopi community.

There is a broadly shared conclusion that the current “system” isn’t working. The report includes

detailed evidence that locally controlled schools

need more support and assistance. However, the

Tribal government lacks the financial ability or administrative capacity to provide that support, while

many stakeholders have voiced concerns over losing their autonomy to the Tribal government.

Based on Tribal codes and practices nationwide,

chapter one presents various governance structures

for the Hopi Tribe to consider. The following is a

summary of key findings:

Key Findings:

• The current Hopi educational system isn’t

working well and the Hopi’s locally controlled

schools need more support; however, the Tribal government lacks the financial ability or

administrative capacity to provide it. For example:

• Because Hopi schools are independent, peers

are not learning from each oth

• Schools are not optimizing resources because

they are failing to achieve economies of scale.

• Community members and school staff alike

want more support from a reservation-wide

entity.

• There is no synergy between schools, oversight over individual schools, or accountability

for poor academic performance or ineffective

governance.

• The current Hopi Board of Education does

not have the capacity to support or oversee all

Hopi schools effectively.

• The schools need administrative and curricular

supports that they are not receiving, and that

could be provided by a schools’ superintendent.

• If a tribal-level central authority is constituted,

its responsibilities, and the roles, powers and

duties of the local schools, still can vary widely

across a range of substantive areas.

• The schools can collaborate, pool funds, or

even centralize authority in certain administrative areas, without necessarily ceding authority

over money and budget, however, if the Tribe

were to establish a district office or provide

supplemental supports to schools, it needs to

consider additional resources.

• Lack of curricular alignment between the elementary and secondary levels and the sustained low performance at the elementary level

have culminated in lack of preparedness and

low performance of students at the secondary

level.

• The Hopi Tribal government lacks administrative capacity, and/or financial ability to provide

support for schools, and therefore, it lacks the

trust of some stakeholders that it can provide

oversight over a Hopi school system.

Recommendations

Based on the research conducted by Public

Works, a comprehensive system of schools would

be more effective than the current structure of isolated, independent schools. However, this is only

the case if the institution managing the schools has

the financial and leadership capacity to provide the

needed support and oversight. As such, it is particularly important for the Hopi Tribe to figure out

how to establish these governance structures, fund

them, and implement them with fidelity and effectiveness.

The report identifies four potential governance

options:

Option 1: Maintain and strengthen the current local

autonomy structure;

Option 2: Set up a consortium for sharing ideas and

resources;

Option 3: Create a centralized entity that provides

support for the schools;

and/or

Option 4: Create a central authority that provides

oversight and consistency

to the schools.

For each option, the report addresses the structures that currently exist to manage and govern

Hopi schools, how they are working, and what they

need to improve. However, for any future restructuring the following questions must be addressed:

How does the Hopi Tribe define a “comprehensive

educational system? What regulatory and administrative structures would need to be authorized?

How would a reservation-wide regulatory authority or collaborative entity be funded? What capacity

building and leadership training would be needed

to implement the plan with transparency, accountability, and fidelity?

Integral to any changes in the educational governance is the TED Advisory Committee, comprised

of representatives from the Hopi Tribal Chairman’s

office, the Health and Education Committee, the

Hopi Board of Education, the Hopi Department

of Education and Workforce Development, and

school administrators. This committee is tasked

with responsibility for reviewing the report the report, evaluating the recommendations for each policy area, sharing ideas, and considering what governance structure will best ensure that each policy

recommendation is effectively implemented.

The report recommends that the TED Advisory

Committee begin a six-month community process

to dialogue on the four governance options on how

to move forward with their school system. Dates

of these committee meetings have yet to be announced.

In its consideration of a centralized entity that

would provide more consistent support and/or

oversight to Hopi schools, the TED Advisory

Committee should determine those administrative,

non-curricular areas to which the superintendent

would provide support and/or oversight. At the

same time, the Hopi Tribe should determine how

to fund its centralized entity and/or separate operational areas.

According to the report, regardless of which

governance system is selected, the TED Advisory

Committee should consider what aspects of curricular control would be maintained locally, and what

aspects would be developed on a reservation-wide

basis.

The report also recommends that if the Hopi

Tribe decides to design a reservation-wide education system, they should consider how to structure

a central board to provide oversight. But regardless of the organizational structure chosen, the

recommendation was made that a superintendent

should be hired to oversee all schools and support

Office of Range Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DROUGHT CONDITIONS

ON HOPI

LIVESTOCK

RANCHERS you need to get out to

your range units to check the condition

of the range land and your livestock and

respond accordingly to these conditions.

Some range units at this time have livestock that are already down to body condition scores of 3.

It is very important that you check your

livestock daily during this time. Approximately 95% of our dirt tanks are dry.

Those that do have some water are being

overwhelmed with livestock and wildlife.

Reports are coming in of animals getting

stuck in the mud within these dirt tanks.

We all need to be aware of the range and

livestock conditions and act accordingly. Based on what you see you should

be making adjustments to your livestock

numbers to fit the current conditions

within your range units. Don’t wait till

the last minute, do this now.

The Recommendations by the Office

of Range Management are:

1. Get rid of dry cows, old cows, yearling heifers, steers over 6 months,

and this year’s calf crop.

2. Consider getting out of the cattle

business for a few years. This will

not only cut down in the cost you

will have to pay out for maintaining

your livestock on the range (supplemental feed, water hauling, etc.)

but will allow for the vegetation to

re-cooperate from grazing.

If you do plan to keep livestock then

you need to consider the nutritional value of the vegetation your livestock are

eating within the range Unit. You will

need to SUPPLEMENT your livestock

with 12%-37% Crude Protein blocks or

tubs and salt blocks. The lack of essential minerals and vitamins in the plants

the livestock are eating makes the vegetation less palatable. Most of what the

livestock are eating now is last year’s

growth; we did not see much new growth

this year. Protein will help to digest the

dry feed that the livestock are eating and

break it down into energy needed by your

cows. It is important to read the label to

all school leaders.

As a first step toward building a comprehensive

educational system, however it is structured in the

long-term, the report recommends that Hopi educational leadership take immediate steps to compile data, strengthen its governance capacity, act

collaboratively, and build trust as it continues the

community dialogue about long-term options.

The 62-page chapter includes analysis of survey

and other data and a detailed discussion of the necessary steps to build capacity and trust in order to

move the conversation forward.

Chapter 2: Educational Leadership

The second chapter in Part I focuses on educational leadership. On the Hopi Reservation, educational leadership involves several different actors:

School administrators, School Governing Boards,

the Junior Senior High School Superintendent, the

Hopi Board of Education, the Hopi Department of

Education and the Health and Education Committee of the Tribal Council.

Whether an alternate education governance structure is ultimately selected or not, it will be critical

to build the capacity of educational leadership and

improve the cooperative relationships among the

education leaders. Regardless of governance structure, the Hopi education leaders can be more effective if they are more strategic in their efforts, and

better supported to carry out their responsibilities.

Key Findings:

• Hopi school administrators do not have a community of professional support or regularly engage in professional leadership development.

• School administrators and Governing Boards

are not engaging in strategic leadership.

• Neither the Tribal Council’s Committee on

Health & Education, the Hopi Board of Education, or the Hopi Department of Education

and Workforce Development have consistently

carried out Ordinance #36 requirements related to collecting data, setting reservation-wide

goals and standards, and issuing and annual

report; nor are they working together strategically with the local Governing Boards to collaborate in their school improvement efforts

(such as hiring, evaluation, learning, providing

professional development, or purchasing).

Recommendations:

• School administrators should come together

regularly to engage in professional learning

and to receive and provide each other with

support.

• School administrators and Governing Boards

should be supported, through training and by

organizational structures, to exercise strategic

leadership of their schools and school communities.

• Tribal Education Leaders, including the Hopi

Board of Education Members and the Hopi Department of Education and Workforce Development, should have clearly defined roles and

responsibilities and should engage in training

to ensure that they exercise them effectively.

The next issue of the Hopi Tutuveni will summarize chapters from Part II of the report that focus on the broad issue of “School Improvement”.

Chapters in this section include Integration of Hopi

Language and Culture, Discipline and Behavioral

Health Services, Family Engagement, Educational

Continuum (Pre-K through College), and Community Support.

make sure the crude protein is covered.

Trace Mineral Salt blocks or just plain

salt blocks are also effective. Place these

blocks away from the windmill sites so

you get less damage to the immediate

area around the windmill.

Use your common sense, if your livestock are losing weight, are down to a

body score of 3 or less, you see no new

vegetation growth and don’t have the

means to buy supplemental feed and you

are hauling water every day…it’s time to

seriously think about selling out or reducing your livestock drastically.

The Office of Range Management

can assist you with livestock hauling if

you have large amounts of livestock you

will take to sale from your range area.

We will help haul if there are 15 head

or more. There is a cost of $5.00/head

to cover the gas and transportation cost.

If you need assistance you can call the

Keams Canyon office at 928-738-0014.

WATER

Water is another issue. As the days get

hotter water will becomes a big factor in

land use. True, there are windmills that

need to be fixed and the ORM is doing

their best to get these windmills up and

running, however ranchers need to remember that water use is not limited to

ranching only.

Factors that can affect the amount of

water produced by a windmill vary. If

the windmill is connected to a shallow

well (800 ft. or less) to draw water, it

will be affected by drought almost immediately. Windmills drawing water from

shallow wells are not only dependent on

the ground water but also on the recharge

it gets from any moisture it receives from

rain and snowfall. If there is no recharge

water production will decrease, therefore

the windmill will continue to pull water

from the well, but produce less.

Because the majority of the windmills

are dependent on the wind to produce the

water, wind will always be a key factor in

the amount of water a windmill produces.

If the wind is strong and constant then

the windmill will produce at a steady rate

and fill the tank. If it is a light breeze

or no wind then there is no guarantee the

windmill will produce water at a normal

rate.

On some of the windmills we have

demand being greater than what can be

produced by the windmill. Currently we

have ranchers, farmers, wildlife and water hauler, to name a few, using accessible

windmills for water. When the demand

is great, say too many cattle utilizing one

windmill, then there will be less production from the windmill until the demand

goes down. When demand goes down

this allows for the windmill to produce

at its normal rate to fill the storage tank.

This is occurring on the majority of the

wells on the reservation.

Vandalism has increased tremendously over the past 5 years to our windmills.

This will put a windmill out of production from a week to years depending on

the severity of the damage. So if you are

having trouble with the windmill it is best

to call the program to report the situation

before you go banging, turning, or pulling on the windmill infrastructure. We

will get someone out to look at it, and if

it can be fixed it will be repaired.

The Office of Range Management has

two offices. Our Kykotsmovi office contact number is 928-734-3701 or 3702.

Our Keams Canyon office contact number is 928-738-0014 if you need to report

on the windmills.

What is

Drought?

Scientists often refer

to drought as a “creeping disaster” because its

exact onset and end often cannot be identified

until long after the event

has come and gone. In

general, drought is defined as an extended period – a season, a year,

or several years – of deficient rainfall relative

to the average for a region. However, dozens

of more specific drought

definitions are used

around the world that are

defined according to the

lack of rain over various

time periods or measured

impacts such as reservoir

levels or crop losses. For

instance, drought can

be defined according to

meteorological, hydrological, or agricultural

criteria

Meteorological drought

is based on long-term

precipitation departures

from normal.

Hydrological drought

refers to deficiencies in

surface and subsurface

water supplies. It’s measured as stream flow, and

as lake, reservoir, and

ground water levels such

as the N-aquifer that provide most of the water on

Hopi Reservation.

Agricultural drought

occurs when there is

insufficient soil moisture to meet the needs

of a particular crop at a

particular time. A deficit

of rainfall over cropped

areas during critical periods of the growth cycle

can result in destroyed

or underdeveloped crops

with greatly depleted yields. Agricultural

drought is typical occurs after meteorological

drought but before a hydrological drought.

Drought on the Hopi Reservation, Cont.

...water sources here

on the Hopi reservation.

Crimmins and Ferguson provided a report of

current drought conditions on the Hopi Reservation and a forecast

of what they anticipate

in the coming months.

The last six months

have been the warmest

and driest in the Four

Corners area. From

October 2017 through

March 2018, the Four

Corners region has experienced one of the

driest periods on record. At the same time,

the region has had temperatures significantly

above normal. According to Ferguson, “2017

was the warmest year

in the 100 plus years

of data available for

the Four Corners. A

very warm 2017 plus

a very warm winter of

2017-2018 plus almost

no winter precipitation equals a terrible 6

months for drought at

Hopi.”

“Given the reality

that globally we now

routinely set new annual average temperature

records I think it’s wise

for those of us in the

Southwest—already a

warm and dry place—

to expect these quite

warm years to show up

more often than they

did in the past. When

we have these warm

years and they coincide

with dry conditions, we

get these awful drought

years,” said Ferguson.

On average, the Hopi

Reservation receives

about 8.5 inches of

precipitation each year

with higher elevation

areas typically receiving more and lower

elevation areas less.

Seasonal precipitation

varies with winter and

summer wet seasons

and intervening dry seasons in the spring and

fall. For instance, a dramatic increase in precipitation occurs with

the start of the monsoon

season in early July and

typically lasts through

late September. This is

followed by drier conditions in October and

November before shifting to a winter storm

season from December

through March. The

precipitation between

the two wet seasons is

dramatically different.

Winter storms typically bring precipitation

in the form of snow

or long duration, low

intensity precipitation

that can recharge soil

moisture reserves and

contribute to replenishing local water resources. Summer precipitation typically arrives

as highly localized,

intense storms that can

produce high levels of

runoff and erosion, but

also is important moisture for warm season

range grasses.

Although

rainfall

during this year’s monsoon season will provide some relief from

the current drought, it is

unlikely that it will be

enough to make-up for

the lack of rain during

the past year. Moreover, because the Four

Corners areas has been

experiencing a warming trend over the past

couple of years the current drought conditions

are likely to continue

for the next several

years.

The combination of

higher than average

temperatures and lower than average rainfall

create a near “perfect

storm” for drought

conditions that impact

both Hopi farmers and

ranchers. Even with

good monsoons this

year, and sufficient

rainfall for the Hopi

reservation, it’s going

to be a tough drought

year. With that in mind,

the “warming trend” is

going to tip the odds towards more years like

this in the future.

While the science

informing the current

drought conditions on

the Hopi Reservation

paints a serious picture, the reality of the

drought on Hopi farmers and ranchers is even

more serious. Clark

Tenakhongva

stated,

“we have to be self

conscience about how

we use our water, we

just cannot ignore the

fact we are in a serious

climate change”.

According to Dan

Ferguson, “the long

term warming trend

we’ve been experiencing in Arizona has

the potential to make

droughts worse than

they otherwise would

be. That is, with warmer temperatures any

precipitation that does

come doesn’t last as

long once it hits the

ground.”

In terms of what we

can do to plan for the

future, Ferguson advises that “in the Southwest it would be wise

for us to plan for these

years since they’re a

near certainty to show

up sometimes. I don’t

think there’s any reason

to expect every year to

be the hottest and dri-

est on record, but when

they come we need to

be prepared for them.

In planning for the

future, the Hopi Department of Natural

Resources (DNR) collaborated with Crimmins, Ferguson and

others at the University

of Arizona’s Climate

Assessment for the

Southwest (CLIMAS)

on a six-year project

to help tribal leadership and DNR staff

develop an improved

drought

monitoring

strategy to support development of an updated drought mitigation

and response plan. The

project emerged from

the need for accurate

and reliable weather

and climate data on the

Hopi Reservation in order to monitor drought

conditions. DNR management and tribal

leadership felt they did

not have sufficient information about local

weather and climate

and lacked a consistent stream of data and

information about the

status of drought-vulnerable systems (e.g.,

ranching, farming, water resources, cultural

resources) on the reservation. This lack of data

hinders the ability of

the Tribe to proactively

plan for drought. The

final report, Drought

Monitoring to Support

Planning for the Hopi

Tribe: Final Report

2010-2016, is available

on the CLIMAS website (www.climas.arizona.edu).

The Fight to Save NGS..., Cont.

“This decision was a real setback for us and not what we had

hoped for […] Although we don’t

want to completely close the door

on our continued efforts toward

NGS, this is now the reality,” said

Chairman Nuvangyaoma. “At

this point, we have been actively

pursuing options that have potential to bring revenue into Hopi as

well as strengthen our financial

position. This is not a “me” effort,

but a “we” effort, which includes

Hopi Tribal Council. I mentioned

in my campaign that things may

get worse before they get better;

however, I am optimistic and stand

behind the work that is being done

at the executive level and through

our programs. We will get through

this.”

The Office of the Chairman is

working on tentative plans to host

a second quarter forum to update

the community members on tribal

issues and the work being done.

Despite Drought,

Hopi Farmers

Market in Full

Swing

Carl Onsae

Assistant Editor

The Hopi Farmers Market in conjunction with Hopi Tutskwa Permacultural Institute, Hopi Food Co-Op,

University of Arizona College of Agriculture and Life Science – Cooperative Extension, Hopi Tribe, and the

Hopi Health and Wellness Coalition

are combining resources to have local farmers and gardeners keep the

tradition of the 2018 Hopi Farmers

Market here on the Hopi reservation. Because of the reservation wide

drought is in full effect, the Hopi

Farmers market team is concerned

about turnout at their event and future events.

Starting July 1, 2018, the local

market will take place at the old Secakuku store at the Highway 264 and

Highway 87 junction and will take

place every first Sunday of every

month, through September 2, 2018.

The market allows for local farmers

to sell and trade their produce, to

meet old and new friends, and to get

tips and suggestions from other farmers who will be at the event.

With the reservation wide drought

in effect, Hopi local farmers are trying to make the use of “mini” gardens

or backyard gardens to produce their

crops. This type of backyard farming

results in the growth of a variety of

crops including radishes, pumpkins,

and asparagus just to name a few, that

local farmers can sell and trade at the

event.

Farmers Market Manager, CiAnna Sakeva, says “We want to continue this tradition, even though the

drought is affecting local farmers in

a huge way because the moisture is

far less than previous years, we still

want to encourage local farmers to

plant every year even with the reservation wide drought in affect. This

drought is not stopping local farmers

to plant and grow their own produce

that they depend on every year”.

The Hopi Farmers market not only

sells and trades local produce, they

now offer gardening and food demonstrations to the local community who

want to learn more about backyard

gardening and how to adjust to the

reservation wide drought so they can

continue the tradition of farming and

preparation of their grown produce.

The event will also include fun activates and games for the kids and a

fun run walk for the community.

With the drought in full effect, we

see the Hopi Farmers Market Team

continuing with efforts towards making this a possibility for local farmers

who still want to utilize this community gathering.
