Hopi Filmmaker Victor Masayesva,

Jr.’s Film added to

National Film Registry

ITAM HAKIM, HOPIT (1984)

Added by the Library of Congress

By: Documentary Educational

Resources

Watertown, MA – December

14, 2022 Congratulations to Hopi

filmmaker and photographer

Victor Masayesva Jr. whose film

ITAM HAKIM, HOPIIT (1984)

is one of 25 titles added to the

National Film Registry by the

Library of Congress.

Itam Hakim Hopiit, which translates as “we / someone, the Hopi,”

is a poetic visualization of Hopi

philosophy. Made at the time of

the Hopi Tricentennial - marking

300 years since the 1680 Pueblo

Revolt against Spanish colonial

rule – the film presents a view of

Hopi culture and history. Speaking in Hopi, a community elder

shares personal recollections and

cultural history, recounting stories

of the Hopi emergence, perseverance, and the Bow Clan migration

stories of his father. Through use

of the film medium, Masayesva

challenges viewers to understand

the Hopi conception of time as

cyclic, in which the world starts,

ends, and starts again.

“ ...The film offers a cultural

bridge of a very different kind,

evoking a culture and an environment through the look and sound

of it and the fluidly majestic pace

of its unfolding...to impart the

drama of distant rainstorms across

desert landscapes or cause one to

gasp in astonishment at the rainbow that enters the frame during a

revelatory pan, for indeed the lyricism of Masayesva Jr.’s imagery

and the tone of reverence for the

earth, whose caretakers the Hopi

consider themselves to be, has the

power to transport the viewer. It

is the achievement of Masayesva

Jr.’s work that even the most committed interpreters among us stand

to be converted, if only for a moment, and taught the quiet virtues

of observation.” – Michael Renov,

University of Southern California

“In this innovative work one

of the last members of the Hopi

historians’ clan, Ross Macaya,

recounts various epochs in Hopi

history.... Macaya’s tale concludes

with a particularly Hopi type of

history–the Hopi Prophesy.” –

Elizabeth Weatherford, National

Museum of the American Indian,

in Art Journal

Masayesva Jr. is regarded as on

the founders of the modern Native

American film movement and has

been called one of the most influential Indigenous filmmakers of

his generation.

Telehealth Offers Boost to Children with Development Needs

Hopi Tutuveni December 21, 2022

New research shows online help for children, parents and caregivers enhances services once limited to personal visits

Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe

Special to ICT

Tobi Maracle was taking her oldest child to the Child and Family Developmental Services even before

it opened a new clinic in the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage.

By the time the child was 5 years old, they were visiting three times a week for speech and occupational therapy.

A months-long wait for applied behavioral services was ending, and they were excited by the progress.

Then the pandemic came and everything stopped.

Maracle, the mother of three children in an Anishinaabe-Mohawk family, wasn’t sure what would happen next.

The services they’d received through the public school had been traumatic, and it had taken months for her child to

trust new therapists.

Within a few weeks, however, her phone rang. The therapists were ready to run their sessions online. They assembled kits with the needed materials and dropped them by the house.

Maracle watched as the occupational therapist modified handwriting lessons in imaginative ways, making the

most of the technology. She was surprised how fast her 5-year-old adapted to this new way of working with the

therapist, she said.

“He loved the interaction,” Maracle said. “You could see how sad he was when it ended.”

The recent growth in telehealth is bringing new options to remote Indigenous communities for people with developmental needs such as autism and their families, who often live far from services. The pandemic has spurred more

providers and clients to try telehealth as a way to connect, and has triggered new research into autism services via

telehealth.

A recent study of services in Iceland found that parents could learn and retain the skills that they need to better

support a child with autism, and demonstrated that it is also possible to communicate securely and effectively on an

older, wireless network.

“There is increased attention to understanding how to make it most effective, and how to overcome the difficulties, and capitalize on strengths offered by technologies,” said Shahla Ala’i-Rosales, co-author of the study.

Building on a legacy

Delivering health services by phone or videoconference has been operating in Indian Country for decades. The

Indian Health Service first delivered telehealth services to the Tohono O’odham Nation in Arizona in 1973 through a

partnership with NASA and Lockheed Martin.

The IHS telehealth system expanded with the onslaught of COVID-19 in 2020, increasing from an average of

1,300 a month pre-COVID to more than 41,000 per month at the height of the pandemic. The average as of October

2022 was about 11,000 telehealth visits per month, according to IHS.

And in early November, IHS announced further expansion of its telehealth services after awarding a contract to

AA RingMD, a cloud-based program that provides a secure system for telehealth conferences.

“This expansion of telehealth will increase access to care, patient safety, continuity of care, quality of care, and

ultimately patient satisfaction,” said IHS Director Roselyn Tso, Diné, the first Indigenous person to head the service.

“We look forward to being able to reach even more of our American Indian and Alaska Native patients across Indian

Country.”

Alaska’s tribal health system, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, has emerged as a leader in telemedicine. The tribal system serves more than 100,000 Alaska Natives, most of whom live in small communities with

limited road access that is further hampered by weather, terrain and demographics.

The consortium has provided equipment, software and technical support since 1998, now reaching 44 health care

providers serving 248 sites in Alaska.

Dr. Randall Zernzach, a developmental pediatrician, said the new building at the Alaska Native Medical Center

opened in 2018 with the capability to deliver services through videoconferencing. Aside from a few therapists who

were early adopters, the rest of the clinic staff moved slowly to use the option. He called himself “a good soldier” in

trying to use it himself.

But the entire staff pivoted after the pandemic took hold and they couldn’t see clients in person.

“This can’t go on,” he recalled saying after the first week of the lockdown. “We are trying to help an entire state.”

Over time, he and the other providers saw that the technology could foster connections. For example, when a

medical team visited with families during the lockdown, everyone’s home was in the background on Zoom, making

it look like the Brady Bunch, he said.

“You could have the

conversation and hear

the story from their own

dining room,” he said.

New approaches

For Maracle and other

families facing autism,

telehealth can provide new

ways of addressing their

needs while saving time.

Parents and caregivers

are sometimes surprised to

learn about the wide range

of services an autistic

child might need, said

Candi Running Bear, Navajo, who is on hiatus as a

special education teacher

to work on a project at the

University of Northern

Arizona that connects

autism families to the help

they need.

Running Bear, who is

also working with a new

Navajo Nation program

on autism, said the needed

services can include physical, occupational, and

speech therapy as well as

parent training and interventions based on applied

behavior analysis, such as

learning to use the toilet or

to approach more foods.

With the right information and support, parents

and caregivers can better

assist their child in learning to communicate and

imitate others, she said.

Children with autism

often have trouble mastering those two basic skills,

which are needed for

learning how to learn. But

once they are better able

to communicate and learn

from imitation, a child’s

choices for school and

community life can greatly

expand, especially when

they have support from

their extended family,

friends and neighbors.

Without telehealth op-

tions, some families leave

home and community

behind to access services

— a decision that would

tax any family’s resources

but can also tax a family’s

resilience.

Some children make

more progress when

services are delivered in

person, especially when

integrated into the school

day, she said. But parents

and teachers also recognize the need for access to

experienced providers.

“For access to services

from people who are

knowledgeable, sometimes you can only get

that through telehealth,”

she said.

Telehealth services can

also be added to in-person services. Sometimes

providers must first

build rapport by working

one-on-one with a child,

experts say.

Regan Garden, a clinical

director with MethodWorks in Alaska, said a

therapist might need three

days to travel, in the best

conditions, to reach a child

in a remote community.

Connecting by phone

or video between those

in-person visits can help

therapists manage travel

time and serve as many

children and families as

possible.

But it’s not a fit for

everyone. Some children

may not respond well to

therapists on a videoconference, but telehealth still

provides a way of training parents, caregivers,

teachers and other people

around the child.

Research shows that

children progress faster,

and more sustainably,

when the people around

them are building their

own knowledge and skills.

That can often mean putting a camera in the home,

classroom or clinic, to allow consultants to observe

and then help caregivers

adjust their responses so

small problems don’t become full-blown crises.

For example, if a child

is having trouble communicating their preferences

to the people around

them, they might become

aggressive toward others

or develop a self-injurious

behavior without expert

help.

“You can watch a lot,”

said Mychal Machado, a

psychology professor at

the University of Alaska

who has assisted families

in crisis. “But it can feel

like ‘Big Brother.’”

Training can feel less

intrusive if the help on the

other side of the camera

is culturally competent.

Just before the pandemic

took hold, Olivia Lindly,

a public health professor

and researcher at Northern

Arizona University, received funding to support

a new autism program in

the Navajo Nation.

The program, Parents

Taking Action, was developed about 12 years ago

for Latino families in Texas. The program has sturdy guidelines for adapting any research-based

materials to cultural needs,

and has been expanded to

include Chinese immigrant families in Chicago

and Black families in

Baltimore, Lindly said.

The Navajo iteration

of Parents Taking Action

connects information and

services to those who

benefit, similar to the

community health network that is delivering diabetes education and other health

programs, Lindly said. When the pandemic hit, Lindly and others adapted the parent program

for virtual delivery.

After the Navajo Nation’s local chapters approved the project, the program trained five

caregivers for children with autism, ages 4-15. Now, those five people are helping train 10

more families of children from 2-12 years old, Lindly said. Running Bear is among those

working on the program.

The process has been intensive, but should be sustainable, Lindly said.

“It does fill a gap in services,” she said.

‘A better experience’

As travel restrictions from the pandemic eased, health care providers realized anew how

difficult it can be on families to travel to a clinic for services.

At the Alaska Native Medical Center, services are exceeding pre-pandemic levels as the

teams blend in-person and telehealth delivery, Zernzach said. Staff can get the ball rolling

for new families without asking them to fly in right away, or by making follow-up visits and

managing a system of care through telehealth, he said.

“It makes for a better experience,” Zernzach said.

Maracle said that while her family lives close to providers in Anchorage, telehealth gives

her more options while saving time and energy.

“I’m not loading up the car and on the road for two hours every day,” she said.

Recently, Zernzach recommended that her middle child also receive services. This time, however, telehealth was not a good option for delivering therapy and other direct services.

“He wants nothing to do with it,” she said.

Instead, Maracle leaned into the many parent-training options offered online, which she

found rewarding.

“I was getting coached on why we were doing what we were doing,” Maracle said. “I was

in the driver’s seat.”

of local pharmacies that have free N-95 masks by using your zip code. Click here or call 1-800232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489).

QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION CALCULATOR:

The CDC now has a Quarantine and Isolation calculator that helps determine how long you

need to isolate or quarantine.

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

Las Vegas, Nev. – December 13, 2022 Living with less water in the U.S. Southwest is the focus this week for state

and federal water administrators, tribal officials, farmers, academics and business representatives meeting about the

drought-stricken and overpromised Colorado River.

The Colorado River Water Users Association conference, normally a largely academic three-day affair, comes at a time

of growing concern about the river’s future after more than two decades of record drought attributed to climate change.

“The Colorado River system is in a very dire condition,” Dan Bunk, a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation water manager, declared during internet presentations streamed Nov. 29 and Dec. 2 that invited public comment about possible actions.

“Flows during the past 23-year period…are the lowest in the past 120 years and (among) the lowest in more than 1,200

years,” Bunk told the webinar audience. The deadline for public submissions is Dec. 20 for a process expected to yield a

final report by summer.

Bunk said the two largest reservoirs on the river — Lake Mead behind Hoover Dam on the Nevada-Arizona state line

and Lake Powell formed by the Glen Canyon Dam on the Arizona-Utah line — are at unprecedented low levels. Lake

Mead was at 100 percent capacity in mid-1999. Today it is 28 percent full. Lake Powell, last full in June 1980, is at 25

percent.

Scientists attribute extended drought to warmer and drier weather in the West to long-term, human-caused climate

change. The effect has been dramatic on a vast river basin where the math never added up: The amount of water it receives doesn’t meet the amount that is promised.

Lake Powell’s drop last March to historically low water levels raised worries about losing the ability — perhaps within the next few months — to produce hydropower that today serves about 5 million customers in seven states. If power

production ceases at Glen Canyon Dam, rural electric cooperatives, cities and tribal utilities would be forced to seek more

expensive options.

Reclamation water managers responded with plans to hold back more water in Lake Powell but warned that Lake Mead

water levels would drop.

Larry’s Corner

See the problem is...

Growing up on the reservation taught me that everything out here is tough to accomplish. I mean, living on

the reservation…life is hard. You would have to work for

everything from food to education and everything in between.

But when I was growing up, I don’t think I ever paid attention to how life was for me then. When you’re a mush

head kitten, it seems you ignore the bad things in your

childhood. Of course, we all have scars, but look at us

now; we’re entirely “NORMAL.”

When you’re a mush head kitten, you don’t think about

the bad things in the “now” REZ life, like drugs and alcohol. Back then, energy, as a simple force, was accessible.

All you had to do was wait till your parents called you

into the house. Or, you could eat at someone’s house, and

they would take you home afterward, right?

As kittens, we knew that there were drugs and alcohol

in the village, but it was never a bother because it was

frowned upon. We would make fun of the village drunks,

and they would cower in shame for what they did. But

nowadays, the entire village seems to be one big drunk

person. And it’s easy to be one big intoxicated person because you can buy alcohol and drugs on the reservation.

All you must do is go next door and ask. Even the “grandma” next door will say, “$20 for a bottle”… it’s that easy.

It’s strange because, in a short amount of time, drugs

and alcohol have shaped and impacted the Hopi community drastically. The drunks we use to make fun of that

cowered in shame seem to have no shame at all. When

did that change? Now we don’t make fun of them anymore. We say, “Daha is drunk again,”…and we go back

to our daily business.

Younger kids already know what a drunken person

looks like even before their first birthday. It’s like we

have engrained drugs and alcohol into our Hopi culture

now, and we accept that it’s part of our everyday tradition.

With drugs and alcohol now seeming to be part of our

culture, killing and stealing acts are followed closely.

See, when I was growing up, I thought that killing and

stealing were only on TV or in the big city. I would have

never thought that those types of words would ever be

used on the Hopi reservation because it was never part of

our vocabulary when I was growing up. But now we hear

that every day in the community and on Facebook. Of

course, we have a legal system that tries to improve our

“problem” but even that is broken and when you have an

entire reservation full of drugs and alcohol, the problem

seems to be growing from generation to generation.

So how can we solve this reservation-wide problem?

That is one question I don’t have a solution for. It’s like

trying to solve a division problem that we haven’t seen in

over 20 years. We cannot solve it, but that doesn’t mean

there isn’t a solution. It just means that this problem is

something that the entire reservation must come up with

and not just a single person or group.

Of course, in schools, we teach our children about

the dangers of drugs and alcohol by showing them what

could happen to them if they do “go down that path.” And

it seems somewhere down the road, they will eventually try drugs and alcohol, and some will become addicted

and others will not, but I guess it’s how we are all raised.

Do we accept that drugs and alcohol are part of the Hopi

culture now? Or do we put a barrier between us to not see

the absolute truth?

When I think of the word “STEAL,” it seems that it

is always used on Facebook. Every time I read it, it will

say something like, “Someone stole my Hopi belt” or

“Someone stole my grandma’s walker.” We are getting

to the point where “BIG CITY” problems are becoming

our problems. Why don’t we do anything about it? Well,

I say it’s because we know that person’s grandmother,

grandfather or relative and they are good people. We are

all scared to accuse someone of stealing because of the

thought of what might happen if we accuse someone for

stealing.

I’m pretty sure that a long time ago, when a Hopi per-

son was caught stealing, it was dealt with in a village

setting where the person who stole something would do

something to work off their debt to the community. Or

that person would be shamed into not stealing anymore

by having their behavior corrected by the village and not

just an individual. But it’s not like that anymore; we are

a close community, yet we are miles apart because we

don’t know who our neighbors are anymore.

Of course, we have several groups who educate the

community about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and

I applaud them for that. At least they are trying to make

a change for our Hopi people. But, when you have just a

simple group trying to make a change, it is not enough

to make a dent, but they try, and they will continue to

educate the Hopi community about the dangers of drugs

and alcohol. Every Hopi family here on the Hopi reservation has a person who drinks those lives with them, and it

seems that we are forced to accept them as they are.

So, let me ask, is it ok to do that? Is it ok to treat them

like this is part of our culture now? So, what can we do?

I guess that’s something we must “individually” come

up with as a solution. Sometimes we will try to come up

with answers like rehab centers or more PSA’s about the

“DANGERS OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL,”… but are

they working? How can we keep the dangers of drugs and

alcohol away from kids?

I advise you that drugs and alcohol are touchy subjects

on the Hopi reservation. Some will not want to look at the

truth of this epidemic, and some will try to improve the

problem. Educating our younger generation about these

problems is one thing. Eventually, they will not be mush

heads anymore, so they will have to be the ones to come

up with their solution to this problem. All we can do is

try to make sure we are all adults and show our younger

generation that there is still hope in this Hopi world of

ours and one without so much of an impact from drugs

and alcohol if we could just choose not to use either one,

even for one day at a time.

Traditional Lifeways Key to Culturally

Appropriate Advocacy

Historical Trauma, Reviving Culture and Finding Justice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Submitted by: Diane Pavlat, Communications

Coordinator

Eagan, Minn. - December 14, 2022 StrongHearts Native Helpline is working to uplift the

voices of survivors by recognizing the strength and

resilience of Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge

that domestic and sexual violence has lived in our

communities for far too long and that victim survivors are often denied justice.

“Our history was never written through the eyes

of our people who narrowly survived the forces

of colonization and assimilation,” said CEO Lori

Jump. “In the eyes of elders, we can see historical

trauma without them speaking a word. We know

that domestic and sexual violence was used as a

means to control us and to control each other. We

must dispel the belief that we were born this way

by teaching our children about our real history.”

For example, in 1791, William Bartram (American naturalist) wrote about the Creek and Cherokee

nations: “An Indian never attempts, nay, he cannot

use towards a woman amongst them any indelicacy

or indecency, either in action or language. I never

saw or heard of an instance of an Indian beating his

wife or other female, or reproving them in anger or

harsh language.”

Domestic and sexual violence is not a traditional

practice. We must strive to revive our culture and

acknowledge that our values are historically based

in humanity, love, respect and honor. We must also

uplift the voices of victim survivors and seek justice in our courts to hold perpetrators responsible

for their crimes.

Inadequate Resources

Part of StrongHearts’ mission to restore power to

Native Americans impacted by domestic and sexual

violence, includes the development of a unique,

culturally specific database that incorporates Native-centered resources on top of those resources

utilized by mainstream advocates. As such, we

know that there simply are not enough resources

available to our relatives.

For instance, there are 576 federally recognized

tribal nations and only 250 native centered resources identified and listed in the StrongHearts database. When it comes to safe shelter, the situation is

even more dire, with less than 60 culturally appropriate shelters nationwide. Given the epidemic

level rates of violence our relatives experience, this

is nothingless than tragic.

More funding is necessary at not only the federal

level, but also the state level. The federal government must do better to meet their trust responsibilities and states must do better to meet the needs

of all residents in their states - especially those

populations plagued by violence.

Culturally Appropriate Advocacy

At StrongHearts, all of our advocates are citizens

of tribal nations and have been trained to understand Native cultures and traditions, the unique

barriers to justice and the need for accessible Native-centered service providers.

Culturally appropriate means StrongHearts

advocates understand the significance of being Native-centered, trauma informed and empowerment

based.

● Native centered means that our advocates understand the core values of Indigenous peoples.

● Trauma informed means our advocates recognize domestic and sexual violence as a symptom of

colonization and assimilation.

● Empowerment based means that our advocates

recognize the importance of giving power back to

our people; trust that they know what is best for

them and to help them to find the resources they

want and need.

Core Values and Guiding Principles

It is an essential component of StrongHearts

advocacy that we adhere to core values and guiding

principles that were set forth by our ancestors. That

we must honor their teachings in our advocacy and

in doing so, we adhere to seven principles: culture,

balance, interrelatedness, humility, bravery, resil-

iency and trust.

● Culture: Indigenous culture is at the heart of

our existence. We connect with all Tribal Nations

and honor their diversity.

● Balance: Our culture is rooted in traditional

lifeways inclusive of the mind, body, and spirit and

to promote a healthy balance.

● Interrelatedness: We honor our connection

to our relatives, ancestors, and Mother Earth. We

strive to overcome oppression and endeavor to

promote healing.

● Humility: We learn equally from Native teachings including the lessons learned in non-traditional

ways. We value the strength of our people, validate

their lived experiences and work to create an empathetic and mutual understanding.

● Bravery: We face the unique challenges of

Native people and call upon the strength and bravery of our ancestors to meet those challenges with

mental and moral courage.

● Resilience: Centered on the resiliency of

Indigenous survivors and their ability to adapt in

the face of adversity, we seek to promote a healing

journey in our quest for social justice.

● Trust: We honor our people and endeavor to

create an environment where truth and honesty

are valued while building trust among and for our

people.

Culturally appropriate support and advocacy

means that StrongHearts advocates embrace the

resilience of our people and the strength found in

restoring our traditional lifeways. For safe, confidential and anonymous support and advocacy,

StrongHearts Native Helpline’s advocates are

available 24/7. Call or text 1-844-7NATIVE or visit

our strongheartshelpline.org to chat online.
