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.

In 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education
(BIE) awarded the Hopi
Tribe a “Tribal Education
Department” (TED) grant,
for the development and
operation of the education department. In 2017,
Tribal Council approved
the use of the TED grant
funds to hire Public Works
LLC to evaluate the current educational structure
and determine (1) whether
it was “feasible” for the
Tribe to develop a “coordinated educational program” on the reservation,
and, if so, (2) how the
Hopi Tribe should structure the governance and
build leadership capacity
to facilitate a “compre-

hensive and coordinated”
education system.
On May 30 & 31, the
Hopi Department of Education and Tribal Education Department (TED)
Advisory Committee hosted a community meeting
at the Hopi Junior Senior
High School to share the
results of the feasibility
study conducted by Public

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

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).
To learn more about
the meeting, please
contact the Vice-Chairman’s office 928-7343113.

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.
