Cumulative Environmental Effects on Hopi
Open House and Environmental Health Fair
Lori Joshweseoma, Director
Department of Health and HumanServices
On November 2, 2016,
the Hopi Department of
Health & Human Services
and Hopi Environmental
Protection Office held an
open house and environmental health fair to let the
Hopi people know about
a new project the two programs are working on in
partnership with the University of Arizona (U of
A). The project is entitled
“Cumulative Environmental Effects: the Hopi Environmental Health Project.”
The main idea behind the
environmental fair was to
show case the new outdoor
and indoor air quality monitoring equipment purchased
through the project and to
share what the monitors
are capable of doing. In-

cluded in this fair was to
begin communicating to the
public how the project will
work within the community.
The Hopi Tribe has been
without an air monitor for
several years and the opportunity to work with the
U of A will allow the environmental program to obtain information on current
outdoor and indoor air quality to help assess potential
adverse exposures to the
Hopi people. The information gathered will be used to
develop tribal environmental and health policies for a
sustainable future. Ninety
(90) homes will be randomly selected and homeowners
will be given the consent
opportunity to participate
in the project. Indoor air

quality will be tested twice,
once during the winter season and another during the
summer season. This initial
testing will allow the team
to assess the overall findings to see what the major
concerns are, that may impact one’s health in a home
environment.
There will also be several
focus groups conducted on
Hopi to identify environmental concerns the Hopi
people have. These focus
group sessions will begin
in the New Year and will
be conducted in first, second and third mesa areas.
Those who are interested in
participating with the group
should contact the Hopi
Health Department.
A Community Advisory Board (CAB) has been
working alongside the two
programs to provide input

to the overall process of
the project. The goal is to
obtain as much information from the community
to make sure that the project is addressing what the
needs are of the community.
Since the approval of Resolution A.I. 086/H -082-2016
in August, the team has
been meeting and working
together to plan, develop
and prepare for the project.
The team is ready to begin
the second phase which is
the recruitment of homes
and begin making contact
with home owners.
The health and environmental programs would like
to thank the community for
great attendance in this important event. For more
information on the project,
you may contact Gayl Honanie at 734-3632 or Lori
Joshweseoma at 734-3401.

Tewa Community Building Burglarized
Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
Sometime between 4 p.m., Saturday
Nov. 5 and 7a.m., Monday Nov. 7, the
Tewa Community Building was broken into and vandalized.
Facility Manager Claude Pahona
said he arrived at 7:45 a.m. and came
through the main entrance of the building and noticed a door knob on the
floor. He immediately checked the entire building as he normally does and
noticed the back door to the commons
area was open. The door was forcibly
open with what Pahona believes to be
a crowbar and he immediately called
the Hopi BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) Police to report the break-in.
Pahona notified Phyllis Wittsell,
Tewa Community Service Administrator (CSA) who was on her way to
work; when she arrived she assessed
the damage before an officer arrived.
The BIA Officer took photos but
couldn’t take any fingerprints because
they don’t have the equipment for it.
Since Wittsell requested fingerprinting
of the scene, the officer borrowed fingerprinting equipment from Hopi Resource Enforcement Services (HRES)
who responded.
Wittsell was too emotional and in
disbelief that someone could do this
and could not begin to tell what the estimated cost of damage was going to be.
“This is personally devastating,”
said Wittsell. “This village has been
and is still going through a lot. With
the budget cuts, the Board will have to

identify funds for the repairs. This will
indefinitely affect some of the services
we provide to the community.”
Pahona said all of the damaged
doors were specially ordered from Bernalillo, NM which cost $200 each. The
door and door frames on a majority of
the offices and back entrance where the
perpetrators came through was damaged beyond repair. The door knobs
were broken off the doors as well.
“It looks like they may have used a
crow bar to get into the building,” said
Pahona who became upset and emotional.
“I feel like I’ve been attacked personally and it hurts me. I have worked
hard to keep this building up to par.”
Pahona said he can’t believe these
people would do this to a building that
provides services to the community,
and not just Tewa village members.
There was damage to all of the administrative offices which was ransacked as the thieves went through
all of the drawers and cabinets. The
thieves broke into every cash box in
each of the offices and the two safes
inside the accountants’ office.
Carlton Timms, Youth Coordinator
said he noticed several things missing
from his from office; a 45” Vizio flat
screen television, a Power Point projector and an older model Dell laptop.
Timms was going to return the television because there was crack on the
top middle of the screen. As of press
time he couldn’t tell if there was anything else missing from his office as
they were told to stay out until the fin-

gerprinting.
In addition to the items missing
from Timms office, Wittsell was also
missing her new laptop as well.
Timms said the items that were
taken are used to provide services to
the community and for movie nights
which draws large crowds.
“This feels like an insult to us because the village has been through so
much and maybe this will finally get
the Hopi Tribe Realty Office to push
the Service Line Agreements (SLA)
through so we can get electricity,” said
Wittsell.
“The SLA’s were recently approved
to get water, telephone line and electricity but is still being delayed.”
Timms and Pahona said this motivates them to be stronger. Although it
will hinder services they both agreed
to be proactive.
“What goes around comes around,”
said Timms. “We are not defeated.”
Pahona said he feels sorry for the
individual’s families and this will only
make the village of Tewa stronger.
“What they did to us hurts; I’m mad
and upset, but I’m not going to take it
personally,” said Pahona.
Wittsell said this will affect some of
the activities and services they provide
to the families of Tewa village for a
short time or until they can properly
secure the building again.
“We need to respect one another,”
said Wittsell. “We need to come together as a community and look out
for one another.”

Army. He worked and lived most of
his life in Moenkopi. He was also a
recipient of the Purple Heart.
“These veterans didn’t have the
modern technology, the equipment
as today’s military,” said Tenakhongva. “These guys were real ground
pounders. They didn’t have the luxury of getting on trucks; they suffered
out there in the trenches, in the cold
European trenches.”
These individuals were recognized
for their service and were presented
with a gift of a vest and World War
II Veterans cap. The vests were sewn
by Ann Tenakhongva.
There was also a Polynesian dance
performed by the Teutupe family of

Shungopavi and singing by the Blue
Bear Drum group.
Veterans who attended the event
were given some military surplus.
Winners of the Veterans parade

Post #80 Princess from P1
The Post #80 Princess
and Attendants will be
cultural ambassadors of
the American Legion Lori
Piestewa Post #80, Hopi
Veterans, Military and their
family members.
The Post #80 Princess
and Royalty program was
in a brief hiatus since its initial start in the late 1990’s
and was revived in 2012.
Since its revival, there have
been seven young Hopi
girls who have held the title
of Princess and Attendants

performing at numerous
veterans’ events state wide.
It was stated that the attendance at the pageant was
one of the biggest they had
seen since the pageant has
started again.
Eugene Talas, Adjutant
of the Lori Piestewa Post
#80 said he would like to
thank former Miss Hopi’s
Lexie James and Auri Roy
for putting the pageant together, along with Otelli
Honanie and Sandra Ovah.
“They did a wonderful

job of putting together the
pageant and making it a
success,” said Talas.
The outgoing princess
and her attendants; Betty
Dewakuku, Kalaila Namoki
and Brennyn Masawytewa
put together a speech and
presentation of their reign.
Dewakuku said she enjoyed her reign as the Lori
Piestewa Princess and it
was very memorable.
“The support we got and
the people we met made the
year memorable,” said Dewakuku. “I was able to get

out of my comfort zone and
was able to get confident to
speak in front of crowds.”
She wished the Princess
and her attendants the best
and to present themselves
respectfully because people
will look up to them and
watch everything they do.
The Princess and her attendants made their first
public appearance in the
Veterans Day Parade on Fri.
Nov. 11, and will participate in the Winslow Christmas parade on Nov. 19.

HHS Journalism class attends
Press Association conference
By Janissa Lahaleon
Bruin Times Staff
A trip to Tempe for the Arizona Interscholastic Press Association was fun and
interesting. Even the drive to Tempe was
fun. The sessions I attended were my favorite part of the conference. I enjoyed
and learned a lot from them.
The first session I attended was “Extreme Editing.” The instructor for that session was Lisa Baker. She had us introduce
ourselves. There were a variety of schools
and students at that specific session. Everyone in that room wanted to learn more
about writing editorials or improving their
skills. Almost all the students were a part
of their school’s newspaper. In that session, everyone worked on an exercise for
writing editorials. After finishing that, we
talked about how the writing could be improved. This session was interesting and
informative.
The second session I attended was, “
Starting young shouldn’t be scary.” The

presenter for that session was Alexa Tieu.
She made the session fun and entertaining. Tieu talked about how it all started
for her and the outcome of becoming a
professional journalist. She also included her experiences and how it got her to
where she is now. She is now known as a
“young successful” woman and she loves
what she does, career-wise. She gave us
a lot of motivation and inspiring words. I
think that everyone in her session enjoyed
it because I did.
The next interesting event was the
awards. There were a lot of awards given
and I was surprised that three were given
to Hopi High Students. The two students
that received recognition were Storm Tso
and Krienne Pahovama. Tso received
two awards and Pahovama received one
award. It motivated some if us to enter for
the awards next year.
Overall the trip was fun and I enjoyed
it a lot. I am fortunate to have gone and
experienced this event. I thank Hopi High
media teacher Stan Bindell for taking me.

stated that drugs are bad
The months are passing for their body as well as
by quickly. We are look- everybody. There are a toing forward to the next few tal of 68 children currently
months leading into the enrolled in Kids Korner.
Kids Korner is open to
New Year.
Our “Friendly Ghosts” children ages one to sevin Kids Korner are work- en years old and we enjoy
seeing new faces in Kids
ing on different types of
crafts and activities. The
crafts and activities are
planned accordingly with
the theme of each month. A
few examples of the crafts
the children have completed so far are the Letter M
craft, the Letter E book,
Pumpkin Life Cycle, and
matching the leaves to the
tree activity. It’s nice seeing how well the children
enjoy making crafts and
doing activities.
Not only do the children
work on crafts, they also
learn about different things
such as hand washing and
how important it is. The
children sang the “ABC’s”
song while washing their
hands. This allows the
children to get a thorough
hand wash and wash away
the germs. The childcare
providers will help the
children if they need help
and observe as they are
learning. Another thing the
children learned about is
drugs; that they are bad for
your body. One of the children mentioned each name
of his family members and

proud of his former running mates - the
Hopi Bruins Cross Country Team on their
recent win of the 27th straight Championship title (Qumyintewa ran on the 25th
and 26th Hopi XC championship team
and continues his running in college).
Qumyintewa, who now attends Bacone
College in Oklahoma and is on the varsity
Cross Country team, is also delighted that
the Bacone Warriors won their division
Cross Country Championship. The Bacone
Warriors beat the Oklahoma City University in the Sooner Athletic Conference Cham-

in the last three consecutive years.
His family from Mishongnovi Village,
who are his biggest fans and supporters,
journeyed to Oklahoma to see the run and
said, “We just got back from Oklahoma
to see Iversen run – he’s on the varsity
XC team for Bacone College. We are
very proud of him and want to encourage all our young people to try their best.
We’re proud of both Hopi High School

November is American By:
Diabetes Prevention
Educator
Diabetes Month

Here are some tips to cook healthier
meals by making replacements or changing your cooking methods. Many of the
extra calories and unhealthy fats come
from the excess oil that is used when
cooking meals. Many of the healthy
nutrients and vitamins are also lost in
the cooking process. By making small
adjustments to your cooking methods
you can still have the same tasty food.
Instead of frying, try cooking your
meals by broiling, microwaving, baking, roasting, steaming or by grilling.
Try to avoid frying your food in lots
of oil, lard or butter. The high temperature used in frying can produce toxins such as amines, acrylamides and
sulphur compounds. Throw away old
frying oil and grease, the reheated oil/
grease can destroy the good antioxidants in the food you are preparing.
IT IS OK to use some fat when cooking!
Use oil that is high in unsaturated fats.
Unsaturated fats are the good fats and
come from plant sources such as nuts and
seeds for example olive, peanut, safflower, sunflower, soybean, corn, flaxseed and
coconut oils. Cooking sprays are great

to use as well when only a small amount
of oil is needed in a recipe or meal. Use
just enough oil to coat your pan or use
the recommended amount if you are
cooking from a recipe. Many of the oils
mentioned are tasty and can be used to
flavor your food in a variety of ways.
A final tip for you is to check your pots
and pans. We all have that favorite pan that
we cook in, but is it starting to get food
stuck to it, making you use more oil/grease
to coat when cooking? Invest in purchasing nonstick pots and pans that are coated
in protective synthetics which will help
you use less oils/grease when cooking.
The Hopi Special Diabetes Program
staff is available to host cooking demos
and introduce you to new healthy recipes. If you have any questions or want
to know more about upcoming events at

“Moving the Nation” for
Diabetes Awareness Month
Jessica Quamahongnewa
Hopi Special Diabetes Prevention Educator
Greetings to everyone! It
was just yesterday that we
were getting ready to begin
a new school year, and here
we are; ready to continue on
through the month of November to educate our community! We hope this finds
everyone doing their best
to better manage diabetes;
where others may be struggling to come to terms with
diabetes.
Knowledge is
powerful! To gain the most
benefit, knowledge must
be translated into practice.
November being Diabetes Awareness Month, the
Hopi Special Diabetes Program is here and ready to
bring diabetes education to
you to assist in improving
and empowering our communities on understanding
and living with diabetes.
As Hopi people, we

have all seen how diabetes affects our lives and
our communities. Our focus for the future needs to
be on prevention, and we
now have the proof that
we have the power to prevent diabetes by making
modest lifestyle changes
which include healthy eating, adequate exercise, and
modest weight loss. The
rate of new cases of diagnosed diabetes in the United States has decreased,
but the numbers are still
high. More than 29 million
Americans are living with
diabetes, and 86 million
are living with prediabetes,
a serious health condition
that increases a person’s
risk of type 2 diabetes and
other chronic diseases.
The diabetes world, to
improve over-all health

and well-being, is forever
changing, and for the month
of November, the Hopi
Special Diabetes Program
will be out in the various
communities with community presentations on
Ways to Prevent T2 (Type
2 diabetes). We’ve got Turkey Trots, a day of Rodeo
fun with our Qua’ah’s and
So’oh’s, and a Hopi Cookbook presentation scheduled! Whew! What are we
not doing for the month of
November! We’re excited,
and are looking forward to
being out and about to educate about this disease. The
education is also for those
who care for someone with
this condition. The goal is
for you to better understand
ways to manage Type 2 diabetes with lifestyle changes.
For more information call
the Hopi Special Diabetes
Program at (928) 734-3432.

2016 Diabetes Awareness Activities

2016 Diabetes Expo held on Nov. 7
Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni

In recognition of Diabetes Awareness
month the Hopi Special Diabetes program
hosted the 2016 Diabetes Expo on Nov. 07
at the Hopi Veterans Memorial Center.
The event line up included several presenters such as Steven Pattea, Ann Collier, Prescott
Youth Camp attendees and several cooking
demonstrators such as Teresa Kulpinksi, Iva
Honyestewa and Susan Sekaquaptewa.
The event also included fitness sessions
from Sensei Andy, Ute Indian Tribe: Painted Horse Diabetes Program, and the Native
American Fitness Council.
Master of Ceremonies were Leon Nuvayestewa Sr. and Beatrice Norton who kept
the momentum going throughout the expo
and giving factual information on diabetes.
Many local, state and county resources
had booths where they educated families
and individuals on their programs and the
importance of good health.
Felicia Mata, Hopi Women’s, Infants and
Children (WIC) program spoke of diabetes
and breastfeeding. She said some mothers
feel it’s unsafe for them to breastfeed because they have diabetes and think they will
pass it on to their babies.
“They are not at risk of giving their baby’s diabetes and its actually better and
healthier for the mothers to breastfeed their
babies,” said Mata.
Mata said they have seen an increase of
babies and children with digestive problems
and they do not know what may be causing it
which requires them to give special formula.
Chelsea Kidd of the Ute Indian Tribe:
Painted Horse Diabetes Program traveled
all the way from Ft. Duchesne to be a part
of the Hopi Diabetes Expo said she liked
the event and the energy during the event.
They host exercise activities and physical
fitness classes for its community members.
They also have a 100 mile club and every
person who completes their miles receives
a pair of Nike N7 shoes.
The cooking demonstration was a big hit
for attendees as Honyestewa made a tradi-

tional dish of blue cornmeal marbles with
öngatoki, annual salt weed.
Honyestewa said she has incorporated a
lot traditional plants into her diet and urged
everyone to do the same because it helps
with high blood pressure and diabetes.
Sekaquaptewa brought with her vegetables she grew in her garden; leeks, kale,
potatoes, carrots, onions, chilies, tomatoes
and much more.
She said she harvested many pounds of vegetables and still hasn’t weighed everything.
She made leek and potatoes soup for her cooking demonstration and gave away some kale.
Motivational speaker Pattea is Hopi/
Yavapai from the village of Old Oraibi and
currently lives in Ft. McDowell. He has
Type 2 diabetes; when he found out, he said
he was in denial.
“I had to learn about it and deal with it,”
said Pattea.
His motivation is being a father and a
grandfather. He educated himself on diabetes and got in the habit of looking at the
labels, especially for the words “genetically
engineered”.
“You have to have faith, hope, music and
culture,” said Pattea. “Always strive to do
the best we can.”
He told everyone to follow these three
simple rules: always learn, always keep
yourself motivated and love yourself.
Valerie Nuvayestewa, Diabetes Prevention Educator said feels the expo was well
attended, but does not have the exact count
of how many people attended.
“Last year we had the expo during the
day and this year we thought we would
have it during the evening since many people are off work and can attend with their
families,” said Nuvayestewa.
She added they will be hosting other activities throughout the month of November to recognize National Diabetes Awareness month.
She encouraged everyone to go out and
exercise and look out for of their activities
within the community.

Hopi Social Services Trunk or Treat
Crystal Dee
Hopi Tutuveni

The Hopi Social Services
Program held a Trunk or
Treat on Halloween in front
of their offices in Polacca; a
free event for everyone.
Eva Sekayumptewa, Director of Social Services said the
idea of a Trunk or Treat was
that of a 12 year old boy who
is in the Foster Care program.
“He was feeling lonesome
and missed his family, and
wanted to do something with
other children in the program,” said Sekayumptewa.
The boy (identity withheld
for confidentiality reasons)
wanted a haunted house,
but because it was late notice to plan a haunted house,
Sekayumptewa and her staff
came up with the idea of a
Trunk or Treat.
“We reached out to tribal
programs and law enforcement to be a part of this
event,” said Sekayumptewa.
“And since we don’t have
funds to purchase decorations, the staff used their own
money or donated.”

The staff made a list of
things they needed and
pitched-in to make the event
possible; the local country
band “Sun Fire” was also invited to the event.
Families were treated to a
free meal of hotdogs, chips
and beans; and children had
their chance at winning a
pickle by participating in the
pickle walk.
The Social Service staff
was divided up into teams
and each team decorated a
program vehicle, along with
other programs such as the
Hopi Department of Public
Safety and Emergency Services, Hopi Emergency Medical Services and the Hopi
Tewa Women’s Coalition to
End Abuse.
Within the first hour of
starting the Trunk or Treat,
many vehicles started to
come through almost causing
a traffic jam, but with the assistance from Walpi security
it was controlled.
Sekayumptewa said she
was happy to see the smiles
on the children as they came
by with their parents, “Even

the parents looked like they
were having a great time.”
She said they wanted the
event to be positive because
they are often viewed negatively for taking children
from their home and families.
“Splitting families is not
our mission, our goal is make
sure children are safe,” said
Sekayumptewa.
The idea of the Trunk
or Treat has been trending
on the reservation as many
organizations have hosted
them over the past week;
Sekayumptewa said its much
safer than having to go from
house to house because you
don’t know what is behind
that closed door.
“You never know what
kind of condition the person
is in behind that door,” said
Sekayumptewa. “It’s just a lot
safer to have the Trunk or Treat
because it’s out in the open.”
Sekayumptewa said she
would like to thank her staff
for their commitment to the
children they serve and sacrificing their time they could
be at home with family.

Active Shooter drill implemented at Hopi Jr./Sr. High School

Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni

Just before school started on the morning of
Nov. 2, a student of Hopi Jr./Sr. High School
(HJSHS) walked into the cafeteria where students were having breakfast and opened fire.
As many as 13 students were reported injured
while others escaped unharmed. The school
was immediately put on lockdown and law
enforcement was called to neutralize the situation and evacuate the building.
Fortunately, this was only a scenario of
the ‘Active Shooter Exercise’ that took place
at HJSHS. Several local and County organizations participated in the drill to prepare
and make improvements in their emergency
responses, should an actual incident occur.
Velleda Sidney, Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Coordinator with
the Hopi Department of Public Safety and
Emergency Services (DPSES) said the exercise took almost a year to come to fruition.
“We began the tabletop discussion in December of last year and since that time we
have been coordinating the exercise,” said
Sidney. “Preparation for the exercise included a lot of training and exercises on behalf
of the planning team and the school. The
school had evacuation and lockdown drills.”
The goal of the exercise is to have HJSHS
engage in an active shooter drill to practice
their protocols when going into a lockdown and
evacuation mode; which includes calling 911
and reporting an active shooter in the school.

Not only was the exercise for the school,
but those involved in responding to an emergency situation. The exercise focused on
response time and recovery efforts of law
enforcement and emergency responders.
Garland Navakuku, HJSHS Lead Facilities
said the exercise was something they have
been trying to work on over the years and with
the help of Sidney it has finally been done.
“With this exercise we know there is a lot
that needs to be done as far as corrective action,” said Navakuku.
The exercise was played out in front of
observers who were invited and given a
designated area to observe; observers were
from local elementary schools, community
offices and local agencies.
The exercise included players, controllers, simulators, evaluators and support
staff. Players were personnel who played an
active role in discussing or performing their
regular roles and responsibilities during the
exercise. A majority of the HJSHS staff participated, along with 50 students who were
randomly selected to play.
Evaluators evaluate and provide feedback
on a designated functional area of the exercise. They observe and document performance against established capability targets
and critical tasks, in accordance with the
Exercise Evaluation Guides. Many of the
evaluators were from surrounding agencies
and organizations off the Hopi reservation.

During the “hot wash” (conclusion of the
exercise), the evaluators gave their feedback
and suggestions on each of the players they
evaluated. Most of the evaluators felt players did a good job overall, but said they all
needed to work on communication.
Jason Secakuku of Shonto School was an
evaluator during the exercise and said he noticed the school using green and red cards which
were slipped under the door which indicates
someone is in the room or something is wrong.
“We went away from using these cards
because of safety reasons,” said Secakuku.
Secakuku also said that during situations
such as an active shooter, all resources needs
to be used no matter what agency. He questioned why the Hopi Resource Enforcement
Services did not participate.
“You’re not counting on your own resources,” said Secakuku. “They need to be
played; all the other agencies off reservation are here. I don’t live out here, but I take
these kinds of exercises very seriously.”
Sidney said the challenge in preparing
for the exercise was bringing all of the organizations to the table, especially emergency personnel. She felt the response time
was lengthy but said that is how it usually
is when you’re in that type of situation. She
also said students need to learn basic triage
and learn how to take care of one another in
emergency situations
“They need to know what their policies

are and what their capabilities are on a daily basis,” said Sidney. “If they don’t know
these things, it affects their planning and
knowing what their roles and responsibilities are if something should happen.”
Sidney said she would like to thank all the
emergency response teams who made it to
the exercise. There were a total of over 65
emergency personnel who responded.
The following is a list of agencies and organizations who participated in the “Active
Shooter Exercise”:
Hopi BIA Education Agency; Hopi Jr. / Sr.
High School; Hopi BIA Facilities Management; Hopi BIA Police; Hopi BIA Structure
Fire; Hopi Health Care Center; Arizona Department of Public Safety; Arizona Department

LETTER OF APOLOGY

BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS / HOPI TRIBE

PUBLIC SCOPING NOTICE

YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED ON THE HOPI WOODLANDS MANGEMENT PLAN AND
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The Hopi Tribe in conjunction with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is preparing a Woodlands Management Plan for
the Hopi Indian Reservation, located in Navajo County, Arizona. The Woodlands Management Plan scope includes
the main Hopi Reservation forest base with the Moenkopi District exempted from planning due to lack of significant
forest base. The purpose of the Woodlands Management Plan is to set management direction for the Hopi Indian
Reservation woodland forest for the next 10 years and establish a focus for the long-term. Isolated riparian forest
stands, largely found along riparian areas of the five major ephemeral washes on the main Reservation are outside
the planning scope. The Woodlands Management Plan will be reviewed annually for its adequacy and detail or at
any other time deemed appropriate by the Tribal Council. The management plan will include a statement describing
the manner in which the policies of the tribe will be applied, a range of silviculture treatments that may be used
across the forest to achieve specific goals and objectives, and the goals and objectives for management of the Hopi
Tribe woodlands. The Woodlands Management Plan will be based on the principles of sustained yield management
and multiple use, and objectives established by the tribe.
Concurrent to the preparation of the Woodlands Management Plan, an Environmental Assessment (EA) is being
prepared under government contract by Logan Simpson for final approval by the BIA Hopi Agency. The EA will be
completed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other applicable federal, state, and
local environmental regulations; tribal regulations, and the BIA NEPA Guidebook 59 IAM 3-H (guidebook).
To ensure that the full range of issues related to these proposed forest management activities are addressed and all
significant issues identified, we invite you to provide any specific concerns, suggestions, or recommendations for
consideration in the development of the Woodlands Management Plan. The Hopi Tribe has scheduled two public
meetings to facilitate public input on the Woodlands Management Plan and EA.

Fuhr on mission to Hopi Library and staff Hopi Library receives
Institutional
complete unity pipe receive distinguished
Excellence Award
Library Award
Crystal Dee
Hopi Tutuveni

Joel Fuhr is a wanderer of the Earth and made a stop
on the Hopi Reservation on his mission to find artists
from all federally recognized Native American tribes;
including those not recognized, to complete what he
calls the “Unity Pipe”.
He envisions the pipe to be complete with a stem,
bead work and carrying case that will be decorated by
all of the Native American tribes.
“It will be the work of mankind,” said Fuhr. “That is
the whole goal.”
The main portion of the pipe is made of Minnesota
pipestone; he said it is not the sacred pipestone but it
comes from the quarry next to it.
Fuhr said the pipe will travel to the artists and where
ever the artists get their inspiration from, he added there
are simple rules to follow and that is to never bring negativity to the pipe.
Fuhr said the pipe was used in Standing Rock where
over 300 traditional leaders, healers and shamans of all
tribal nations smoked from the pipe. The idea for the
unity pipe began when he was gifted a pipe from Walden
Poor Bear, which belonged to Poor Bear’s grandfather.
“I was at a homeless shelter and I left it out in the open
in my car,” said Fuhr. “My doors were locked, but when
I came back outside, it was gone..”
Because Poor Bear gave him his grandfather’s pipe,
Fuhr said he will have the responsibility of taking care
of the pipe.
So why did he Fuhr come to Hopi first?
He said he was given a sign when he saw Kokopelli in
the sky on his way back to Colorado from South Dakota.
While here on Hopi, he hopes to find an artist that will
begin decorating the pipe with their artwork.
Fuhr figures it will take three years to complete the
pipe after going to all the tribal communities . This will
be a challenge for him.
“The only challenge would be finding the right person
or people to take the pipe on its journey to different nations,” said Fuhr.
He would like to bring the whole planet together and
this is one part of what he is doing by creating the “Unity Pipe”.
Fuhr has been homeless for three to four years; he
lived in Nebraska and Texas before moving to Colorado. He doesn’t consider himself homeless because he
considers the Earth to be his home.

Hopi Tutuveni

Dinah Pongyesva, Library Assistant poses with award
Hopi Tutuveni
The Hopi Public Library’s mobile library
services (bookmobile and
mobile computer lab)
were recently awarded the
International Guardians of
Culture and Lifeways Library Institutional Excellence Award by the Association of Tribal Archives,
Libraries and Museums
(ATALM).
Dinah Pongyesva, Hopi
Public Library Assistant
and Director Noreen Sakiestewa attended the International Conference of Indigenous Archives, Libraries,
and Museums in Phoenix,
to accept the award.

The Hopi bookmobile
visits twelve villages on
the Hopi Reservation on
a regular basis four days
a week. The mobile computer lab provides Internet
access on public access
computers to five villages.
Hopi libary staff are very
deserving of this award as
they bring library services
to remote areas under often difficult circumstances
and inclement weather.
Pongyesva was also
rawarded the 2016 AzLA
Outreach Services award
during the Arizona Libraries Association Conference in Tucson, Az.

The Library Institutional
Excellence Award was presented to the Hopi Public
Library and its director, Dr.
Noreen Sakiestewa. Under
Sakiestewa’s leadership,
the Hopi Public Library
program is now a vibrant
institution providing highly-valued services to the
Hopi reservation, after previously closing its doors Dr. Noreen Sakiestewa
