Kykotsmovi Convenience Store is Finally Open
By: Carl Onsae
Hopi Tutuveni
Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – Thursday, February 24, 2022
The Hopi Mesas has only three gas stations seated in
the boundaries of the Hopi mesas, and economic development is something that everyone talks about. Talking
about economic development is something the Hopi people do all the time.
The Kykotsmovi Village has made progress in economic development in the past ten years, with talks about
building a new convenience store on the corner of Highway 264 and Indian Route 2 finally coming to fruition.
Tommy Canyon, Manager for the “Kiqotsmophuuyanki”
or Kykotsmovi Village Store, took on a challenge that has
been in the talks for many years.
With the help of the original store and Hopi money revolving into the store, Canyon managed the business in a
manner which created enough funds to start the project.
This project paved the way for economic development
on the Hopi reservation and which benefited Hopi Tribal

members who reside on the reservation.
The project was groundbreaking and was funded solely through profits made through Kiqotsmophuuyanki and
set precedents in ways to build a better local Hopi economy. Canyon stated, “This project was in talks almost ten
years ago with the Village of Kykotsmovi, but it was all
talk then.”
The store, built on the corner of Highway 264 and Indian route 2, was built on tribal lands taking up an acre
or so. The new store was constructed with convenience
in mind for the Hopi people and travelers alike, traveling
through the Hopi mesas. Canyon stated that this store is
not complete as he wants to put in a sandwich station, ice
scream island, and more.
The soft opening was held on February 21, 2022, because the Hopi people wanted to start utilizing the store
to buy gas and treats, and they couldn’t wait to see the
newly built store.
With challenges like Covid restrictions and weather
permitting, the store is now fully open after having been
only open to patrons filling their gas tanks.

Canyon stated, “It’s been a real struggle to build this
store and to take the risk and challenges, but we took
them, and we are happy that we did. We didn’t give up;
we just kept going.”
This project was to show the Hopi people that with
sheer determination and the will to do something about
economic development, the Hopi people can start a project without the help of the local government.
Canyon lastly stated, “I want to tell the Hopi Tribal
Council, that they talk about economic development all
the time and all they do is talk about it. Talking about it
does nothing, action does something and taking the risk
and moving forward is what counts.”
Hopefully we will see more economic development in
the near future, and hopefully we can make more jobs and
have sustaining funds for the Hopi people.
With the convenience of getting gas, and buying food
or treats, the Kykotsmovi Convenience Store is something that all Hopi people can be proud of and benefit
from.

March is National “Nutrition Awareness Month”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Submitted by: Bernadean Kachinhongva, HSAPC Mentor
Kykotsmovi, Ariz. - February 23,
2022, the HOPI Substance Abuse Prevention Center (HSAPC) would like to
bring awareness to the month of March’s
campaign, National Nutrition Awareness
Month. Nutrition is a process of obtaining
and taking in food necessary for health
and growth. Good nutrition is essential for
ourselves and future generations. Individuals with healthy eating and lifestyle patterns tend to live longer. Nutrition is crucial for a person’s development as well.
When an individual improves their nutritional habits it can strengthen their immune system, lower the risk of non-communicable (diabetes, high blood pressure)
diseases; safer pregnancy and childbirth,
child and maternal health, and longevity.

In recent years health concerns for the
Hopi people have increased with growing
rates of diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and other health ailments. Good nutrition is very important to an individual’s
health. Many of us learn about nutrition at
a young age but the older we’ve become
life sometimes keeps us from getting the
proper nutrition we need. Once we recognize our body is lacking proper nutrition,
we can take the steps towards getting what
we need. There is a nutrition specialist
who can also help an individual work on
getting themselves back on a healthy path.
There are many factors that influence
poor nutrition. Chronic stress can be a
contributing factor and can raise the metabolisms than use your nutrition more
quickly. Substance use can lead to a lack
of proper nutrition, either as a result of
not eating or eating foods low in necessary nutrients. Stimulants may suppress

a person’s appetite and other substances
can increase a person’s appetite causing
weight gain. Once an individual recognizes the lack of a proper diet, they can
take the necessary steps to improve their
nutrition. An individual can eat meals with
all the nutrients they need. They can abstain from using harmful substances, and
alcohol. Individuals can also work on hobbies and physical activities to lower stress
that can affect their nutrition. More preventive measures that can be useful are to
have the structure of meals, breaks from
technological devices, and counting your
calorie intake.
The HSAPC mentors help individuals
recognize how their lifestyle can affect
their physical health. The mentors help
individuals work on recognizing if they
have the proper nutrition and the effects
the lack of nutrition has on their health.
A nutritionist can possibly provide as-

sistance with Medical Nutrition Therapy
(MNT) on nutrition education specific to
a person’s needs. Some examples a nutritionist may help a person work towards
are healing and nourishing the body damaged by alcohol and/or substance abuse,
stabilizing mood and reducing stress, reducing cravings for substances and alcohol, addressing medical conditions that
are co-occurring or have resulted from
substance use, encourage self-care and a
healthy lifestyle.
For general nutrition information, you
may contact Hopi Health Care Center’s
Registered Dietitian Shauna Parisien at
928-737-6201 or email Shauna.Parisien@
ihs.gov. For individual or specific counseling, please contact your health care
provider for a nutrition referral at 928737-6049/6081. For services with HSAPC

Village of Walpi Youth Program
Announces Its Little Free Library
Press Release
Submitted by: Lori Nuvayestewa,
Walpi Senior Youth Program
Coordinator
Walpi, Ariz. – Thursday, February. 24,
2022 Greetings! My name is Lori Nuvayestewa, and I am the Walpi Senior Youth
Program Coordinator at the Village of
Walpi. I am excited to announce that the
Village of Walpi in partnership with the
non-profit Little Free Library (LFL) will
install a new book-sharing box at the Walpi Administrative Office to serve the public.
Do you remember the excitement as a
child going to the library or going to the
bookstore? Soon you can create those
memories with your children and grandchildren. The new Little Free Library is
part of the organization’s Read in Color
initiative and will be filled with books
that amplify BIPOC (Black, Indigenous,
and People of Color), LGBTQ, and other
diverse voices, with a focus on titles that
explore experiences from the Indigenous
and Native American Peoples. Bringing
diverse books by Indigenous authors to
underserved communities, like Hopi, will
give youth a glimpse of themselves in
these books. Along with bringing inclusive literature to Hopi, I want to empha-

size the importance of early learning and
nurturing growing minds. This will create
healthy development at a very young age
and create a love of learning that will help
them succeed through grade school, high
school, college, and in life. The book sharing box will be open to everyone across
Hopi. Visit the Little Free Library website
at https://littlefreelibrary.org/read-in-color/ to read more about the program.
During these unprecedented times, I
also wanted to give back to the community by providing a free service where
youth and adults can visit. While we are
social distancing and taking all necessary
precautions, having a safe place to go, and
simply pick up a book creates excitement
for both youth and adults.
Join the Walpi Youth Program at the
grand opening on Saturday, March 26,
2022 at 10:00 a.m. at the Walpi Administrative building. A ribbon cutting ceremony and other activities will take place
to celebrate the new Little Free Library.
Everyone is welcome to join, and all safety measures will be in place.
To donate books or for more information about the Little Free Library project,
you may contact Lori Nuvayestewa at

tomatic as the tests will not arrive in enough time for you
to be tested. So please order them now so that you and your
loved ones can be prepared.
PREVENTION:
Below is some information regarding COVID-19 vaccinations, age recommendations, and boosters:
(TABLE ON PG 5)
“CDC is recommending that moderately or severely immunocompromised 5–11-year-olds receive an additional
primary dose of vaccine 28 days after their second shot.”
Remember that the only vaccine that 5-17 year olds are eligible for is Pfizer.
SOURCE: Different COVID-19 Vaccines – Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
SYMPTOMS, QUARANTINE, AND ISOLATION:
Watch for Symptoms - people with COVID-19 have had
a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild
symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14
days after exposure to the virus and can range from mild to
severe. The following are COVID-19 symptoms that people
may experience:
• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
•New loss of taste or smell
•Sore throat
•Congestion or runny nose
•Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea
This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC
will continue to update this list as we learn more about
COVID-19. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious
complications from COVID-19 illness.”
Currently, the local health department and HHCC are
implement the previously recommended CDC guidelines
which is a 10 day isolation for those who test positive and
a 14 day quarantine for those exposed to an infected individual.
(GLOSSARY ON PG. 5)
Be aware that when someone tests positive they became
contagious 2 days before they developed symptoms, or if
they are not experiencing symptoms 2 days before they
tested positive not the day they received their results. If
someone was less than 6 feet away from a potential positive
case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a
24 hour period they would be considered a close contact regardless of whether or not both parties were wearing masks.
For example, Molly was within 6 feet of Craig on Thursday
night for 10 minutes and on Friday morning for 5 minutes.

Craig developed symptoms Saturday evening, was tested for
COVID on Monday, and received their results on Wednesday. Because Molly was within 6 feet of Craig for a total of
15 minutes over a 24 hour period within the 2 day timeframe
she is now considered to be a close contact. If you have been
identified as a close contact you may or may not need to
quarantine depending on your vaccination status.
If an unvaccinated individual that is not positive is having
to take care of someone that is infected, they will need to
quarantine for 14 days beginning on the infected person’s
10th day of isolation, with that day being Day 0 and the following day being Day 1. That means the caregiver could potentially be out of work for 24 days. If a vaccinated person
that is not positive is having to take care of someone that is
infected, they will not have to quarantine but will need to
get tested 5 days from the 10th day of the infected person’s
isolation. If a vaccinated person develops symptoms while
caring for an infected person they will need to get tested as
soon as possible and remain at home until they receive their
results.
Re-testing of COVID-19 Positive Employees. Per guidance and alignment with HHCC, CDC, state and local health
departments, and OSHA workplace guidance for COVID-19
re-testing of positive or suspected COVID-19 employees before they return to work, nor providing letters to go back to
work is not recommended.
The recommended reason for not re-testing is an individual may continue to test positive on a viral test long after they
are recovered from COVID-19. These dead viral particles
will turn viral tests positive even though they cannot cause
disease in others. The Hopi Health Care Center strongly encourages employers to use the CDC’s symptom and criteria
below even if they continue to test positive. Once they meet
the three criteria, they are no longer considered infectious to
others. However, if the employee was severely ill (hospitalized) or in immunocompromised, plead advise them to visit
their primary care provide before returning to work.
The “checklist” below has been updated as of the most
recent COVID-19 guidelines from the CDC and will be
used by employers to determine when an employee with
confirmed COVID-19 may return to work safely. For additional questions, please call the Hopi Health Care Center
COVID-19 hotline (928) 737-6188.
□ It’s been at last ten days since I first had symptoms or
received my positive diagnosis if I’ve not had symptoms
(please note date of first symptoms: (________)
□ Overall my symptoms have improved and I am feeling
better.
□ It’s been at least 72 hours since I last had a fever without
using fever-reducing medicine.
If you checked all three boxes, you are no longer a considered at risk to infect others and can go back to work!

Larry’s Corner

Hopi culture is the root of all goodness in our
hearts. But Hopi culture can be the downfall of
our civilization as well. Let me explain, we still
conduct our ceremonies as we did 1,000 years
ago, but we are slowly changing the way we do
our traditions from that 1,000 years ago. It’s like
cars; the concept remains the same. It has four
tires, and it runs from point A to point B, but the
car’s design changes every year. Our culture is the
same, we still have a purpose on why we do our
culture, and it remains the same, but the way we
do our ceremonies or culture is different from our
original design.
The way I see it is that Hopis love to conduct
ceremonies and are very social creatures. We have
monthly ceremonies that we perform, and it’s a
medicine to our minds and hearts. But when this
pandemic happened, we forgot that we needed our
“cultural” therapy and made sure we put the sickness first.
I know, I know, we had to shut down our roads,
our villages to keep our people safe from the virus. And I know we wanted to do that for the good
of the people to save as many as we can. This
sickness took a lot of people away, but that should
not stop us from living our lives and continuing
our goals for our culture. Yes, the virus is dangerous when it is “fresh.” Yes, we didn’t know the
severity of the sickness, but who can we blame?
Who can we point the finger at and say, “it was
their fault?”

Don’t worry
be Larry

During this past month, the village of Hotevilla
had its annual village dance. This dance was to renew our lives by feeding us the goodness of food
and good company. These ceremonies are the
medicine I was talking about to you. Hopis love
to watch dances like the ceremony that Hotevilla
conducted. People from all around the Hopi mesas witnessed the Hotevilla dance for just a day.
This type of medicine is what the people needed to renew their spirits and renew their sense of
comfort, knowing that it will be ok.
For just one day, people forgot that sickness was
going around. They forgot that we lost people to
this sickness and that leaders were “only doing
this to protect the people.” The way that I see it
is that this virus is here to stay like the common
cold or flu virus. We can’t fear this coronavirus;
we must accept that it is here to stay, and we must
respect that it exists, and when we do, we can finally be at peace with ourselves once again.
A wise man once told me, “Fear is what drives a
man to forget what his purpose in life is, but fear
is also what drives a man to seek purpose in life.”
So, you see, we are fearful of the unknown, and
not knowing it can be a danger to our health. We
can fear the unknown, but that’s the beauty of it;
when we fear it, we want to know, so we make it
an adventure to keep finding out more about it.
The destination is not what counts, just like knowing the unknown, but the journey to get to the answer is always the answer.

Want to send Larry email? Send to: meowatlarry@gmail.com

I guess I never realized fear can be something
good even if it feels terrible.
So, my question to you is whether we should get
back into our culture with all our cultural doings
like annual dances, weddings, and birthday parties? Should we not follow the CDC guidelines
anymore and just party like we used to in 2019? I
guess the question still lies in limbo since we are
still in a pandemic world but who’s to say that we
should only be in a pandemic world and not the
Hopi world.
I know the question to the question; I see the
question exists and that we must find an answer to
it, but when we finally do, what’s next? Are there
more questions? Is there more to life than we expected? I don’t know.
My advice is that I think we should slowly come
to terms with this new reality, our old reality is
gone with the wind, but we shouldn’t cry over
that. We should be happy that we are changing,
maybe for the better but not the worst. When you
go home from work tonight, remember the old
music you used to listen to, remember the good
times when the mall was still the best place to
hang out or remember that burgers only cost $.99
on the dollar menu. Life now is not horrible or
tainted with sickness, and it is still good in this
world. We must remember to see the goodness in
this world like we used to.

JOB ANNOUNCEMENT

Hopi Tribal Council
Timothy L. Nuvangyaoma,
Chairman

Hopi Small Animal Control
Program Services
The Small Animal Control Program (SACP) is pleased
to announce that the program is up and running as of December 6, 2022. Mr. Seth Collateta is the new Deputy
Animal Control Officer (ACO) and is the only staff on
duty at this time.
The Deputy ACO has been making contact with outside and local community organizations/administrations
to build partnerships. The SACP can help with strays or
unwanted animals but the public should understand this
will take time because all surrounding animal shelters
and rescue organizations are currently filled to capacity.
The SACP will hold pet registration events at several
centralized locations across the Hopi reservation in late
March 2022, once the Hopi Tribe Executive Order # 0012022 is lifted. Several meet & greet events are also scheduled to take place where you can meet the Mr. Collateta
and get more information about the SAC program. Flyers
advertising these events will be posted throughout the villages & community.
The SACP encourages all Hopi community and village
residents to be good pet owners. A pet owner within the
boundaries of the Hopi reservation is a person over the
age of eighteen who feeds, shelters, or cares for an animal. When you are a pet owner, you are responsible for
any trouble your pet may cause, especially if your pet
bites and seriously hurts someone.
The SACP ACO will begin enforcing tribal laws (Small
Animal Control Ordinance #61) to ensure the health and
safety of members in our communities and villages. If
you are bitten by a dog and the bite tears or punctures the
skin, make sure you are seen at Hopi Health Care Center
or a health care facility close to you. For all encounters
with vicious dogs, file a complaint with the SACP.
SACP services are available Monday – Friday 8am5pm, and the Deputy ACO can be contacted by phone at
(928) 734-3806 or by email at SCollateta@hopi.nsn.us.

What now? Pandemic. Social unrest. And war
Mark Trahant
Indian Country Today
The list goes on and on: The pandemic. George Floyd’s murder and the growing call for racial justice. Pro-democracy
protests in Hong Kong, and, at the same
time, an orchestrated attempt to overturn a
democratic election. Global protests over
vaccines and masks. And now war. How
does this make any sense?
“Could there be a symbiotic relationship between COVID-19 and conflict?”
ask scholars Alexi Gugushvilil and Martin McKee. In a paper written in October
2020 for the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health.
“At the beginning of the pandemic, UN
Secretary-General António Guterres appealed for an immediate global ceasefire
to enable the world to confront ‘a common enemy’ but his plea went largely unheeded,” the scholars wrote. “We argue
that there is a bidirectional relationship
between COVID-19 and conflicts: on the
one hand, circumstances associated with
wars may facilitate pandemic spread; on
the other hand, COVID-19 has already
heightened xenophobia and nationalism,
which in turn can encourage armed confrontations.”
Gugushvilli is an associate professor
of sociology at the University of Oslo.
McKee is professor of European Public
Health at the London School of Hygiene
and Tropical Medicine. He is also past
president of The European Public Health
Association and a health policy expert on
the former Soviet Union.
“Wars and epidemics have a long and
close history, going back at least to the
well-documented Plague of Athens in the
5th century BCE,” the scholars wrote.
And a common thread is when the national economies are shrinking.
The link between war and plague is also
a familiar story in Indigenous communities. Europeans brought with them dozens
of infectious diseases along with their
weapons of war. Smallpox, chickenpox,
cholera and even, the common cold.
There is also a relationship between
mass protests over such things as mask
requirements and war. There were more

than 139,000 recorded protests in 2020, an
increase of 68.5 percent from the previous
year. More than 33,000 of those protests
were directly related to COVID-19 and responses to the pandemic such as the trucker blockade in Canada and the convoy of
trucks now headed to Washington, D.C.
“These protests are an obvious marker of public discontent that can easily be
exploited by powerful forces. here, history again offers a warning,” the scholars
wrote. “Those German municipalities that
suffered most in the 1918 influenza outbreak were the ones that saw the greatest
electoral gains for the Nazi Party a decade
later.”
So what now? Will history repeat or
even, as some say, rhyme? That question
depends on the policy choices that are
ahead.
The Economist says: “Over the past
decade, intensifying geopolitical risk has
become a feature of world politics, yet
the world economy and financial markets
have shrugged it off … Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine is likely to break this pattern,
because it will result in the isolation of the
world’s 11th-largest economy and one of
its largest commodity producers.”
That means higher oil and gas prices
because Russia is one the world’s largest
producers, and it dominates the European
market for natural gas. On Thursday the
price of oil topped $100 a barrel (a cost
that will soon show up at gas stations) and
Germany said it would no longer permit a
pipeline project that is supposed to transport natural gas from Russia to Europe.
And while it’s true that Russia views
NATO as a threat; this invasion is also
about natural resources, climate change,
and shrinking economies.
"First, we know that it is only because
of oil and gas that Russia is able to afford this military invasion," said Jade
Begay, climate justice campaign director
for NDN Collective. "This makes it clear
that not only are oil and gas used to carry
out war but are also a root cause for exponential climate change. Second, as an
organizer who is actively working to shut
down fossil fuel infrastructure, I am hyper aware that this conflict will potentially
drive up domestic oil and gas develop-

ment, onshore and offshore gas leasing,
and/or potentially roll back recent wins
when it comes to fossil fuels, thus contributing to an increase in carbon emissions.
Finally, I’d be remiss to not mention the
impact that militaries have on the climate,
when it comes to the U.S., our military is
the single largest institutional polluter in
the world, which creates more greenhouse
emissions than 140 other countries."
The Economist predicted that Russia
may deliberately create bottlenecks in order to raise prices.
Normally governments go out of their
way to limit the impact of war (or any
other disaster) on the price at the pump.
Governments do not want people mad at
them over higher prices. But what if this
time is different? What if this is a proxy
war for oil?
President Joe Biden has talked about
climate change as an existential threat. So
perhaps the smart play is to lean into the
price increases and cut off Russia’s ability
to market oil and gas.
As the president said after the invasion:
“President Putin has provided the world
with an overwhelming incentive to move
away from Russian gas and to other forms
of energy.”
Some fear that the White House won’t
make the hard call.
“First and foremost, our organization,
the Indigenous Environmental Network,
stands against any and all forms of imperialist expansionism, which we're seeing
right now with Russia invading Ukraine.
But we also saw that when they already
invaded and annexed Crimea, which impacted Indigenous communities who live
in Crimea, and now we're seeing potential
violations of human rights in Ukraine at
this very moment,” said Dallas Goldtooth
from the network. “It has to be stated that
almost any and all conflicts in the world
today implicate fossil fuels. Russia is the
second largest producer of natural gas in
the world behind the United States. And is
the top supplier of gas to Europe. Our fear
is that this conflict will only deepen the
pockets of the oil and gas industry as any
modern war does, but more, it will give
the Biden administration further reason to
delay action, to stop the expansion of fos-

sil fuels here in the United States.”
But there is another alternative.
Begay is Diné and Tesuque Pueblo of
New Mexico. "Over the last month," she
said, "fossil fuels have been at the center of how nations are holding leverage
against one another, point and case, the
Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. This should be a
clear signal to our leaders that we need a
Just Transition & Green New Deal now,
so that we are liberated from this toxic dependency on oil & gas."
“This is a moment to seize on the call
and demand for a just transition away from
fossil fuels,” Goldtooth said. Too often the
conflict over fossil fuels come at the detriment of Black, Brown, Indigenous and
working class peoples. “Here's a moment
for us to step up to the plate and say, ‘Hey,
we're not gonna be feeding the beast anymore. We're gonna stop the exports of oil
and gas.’ We can take an opportunity to set
the path forward because the U.S. is the
largest provider of natural gas on the planet. They can take, make a solid step in the
right direction by stopping the expansion
of that sector and investing in communities for a just transition.”
A Russian-controlled Ukraine could add
to the global warming matrix because it
could expand oil and gas as well as uranium and other minerals that can be mined.
Then again Europe might be ready for a
different energy.
“There's this narrative, this false narrative out there, that to step away from fossil
fuels is impossible,” he said. Goldtooth is
Mdewakanton Dakota and Dine. “Countries are already doing it. Iceland's a great
example. It's getting the vast majority of
its energy from renewable sources. On
a smaller scale, tribal nations and small
communities are already set in the path
forward on how to step away from oil and
gas.
And so we just need to continue to invest in those local visions of how we wanna make a better future for our communities, for our people and for the ecosystems
around us. So that the path forward is out
there, we're just not elevating those uplifting those stories.”
