Hopi Primary Elections Slated for Thursday, September 9, 2021

July 29, 2021 – Deadline Date to Request an Absentee Ballot for Hopi Primary Election

By: Romalita Laban, Managing Editor

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – July 16, 2021 and just under two

weeks from July 29, 2021 which is an important date to

remember and put in your calendar, if you are requesting

an Absentee Ballot from the Hopi Elections Office, for

the Hopi Primary Election slated for Thursday, September 9, 2021.

Hopi Tutuveni has been providing updates and information regarding the upcoming 2021 Hopi Tribal Elections for Chairman and Vice Chairman by making contact

with the Hopi Elections Office staff and providing opportunities for press releases and ad placements.

Thus far, Tutuveni staff has reviewed and edited documents submitted from the Election Office, as a means

of providing information and ensuring the Hopi public

receives vital information and updates concerning the

democratic process of elections.

Staff recently attended the June 29, 2021 Certification

event held to certify and confirm that the Candidates met

requirements. During the event a public announcement

included the following information about the Candidates

for the Vice Chairman and Chairman and their respective

Villages are as follows:

Vice Chairman Candidates;

Craig Andrews – Village of Mishungnuvi

Clark Wayne Tenakhongva – Village of Hotevilla

Chairman Candidates;

David Norton Talayumptewa – Village of Kykotsmovi

Andrew Stephen Qumyintewa – Village of Hotevilla

Timothy Loren Nuvangyaoma – Village of Mishungnuvi

Alfred Lomahquahu, Jr. – Village of Bacavi

Also shared during the Certification event was more

explanation and notification, in accordance with the Hopi

Election Ordinance, that when there were only two candi-

Vice Chairman Candidate: Craig Andrews - Village of Mishungnuvi

dates for the Vice Chairman seat, the names of those two

would not be listed on the Primary ballot.

Those eligible Hopi Tribal members who can vote and

request and Absentee Ballot by the deadline date of July

29, 2021, may notice that the two Candidates running for

Vice Chairman may not be listed and in accordance with

notifications sent out by Hopi Elections Office, which

states: “In the event there are not more than two candidates for either of such offices these candidates with no

more than one competing candidate shall have their name

entered in the final election without the necessity of a primary election.” (Election Ord. #34 Sec. 9. A.1.)

Hopi Tutuveni staff attempted a number of phone contacts with the Hopi Elections Office on July 16, 2021 to

confirm how the Absentee Ballot might appear for those

requesting one by the deadline date. Elections Office staff

were not available at the time, however, a voice recording

did provide notification to the effect that, “ July 29th 2021

is last day to request for an Absentee ballot for the Primary Election…Primary Election will consist of the Hopi

Chairman’s election ballots only…Vice Chairman Candidates will move onto the General Election since there are

only 2 candidates running for the seat.”

Primary Election Date Reminders article published on

May 19, 2021, from a recent July 2, 2021 Notice to Hopi

Tribal Members from the Hopi Election Office, and the

Lloyd Masayumptewa will begin his new role as Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments superintendent on July 18, 2021.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July

13, 2021

DENVER — National Park Service

(NPS) Regional Director Mike Reynolds

announced the selection of Lloyd Masayumptewa as superintendent of Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments in Arizona. Lloyd Masayumptewa

(Piivayouma) is Hopi from the third mesa

village of Orayvi (Old Oraibi) and is of

the Water-Coyote clan. He has been serving as the acting superintendent of Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments since March 2021 and has over 20

years of NPS experience. He will assume

his new role on July 18, 2021.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have

Llyod working for the National Park

Service,” said Reynolds. “His leadership

skills and passion to preserve and protect

our nation’s public lands and cultural resources make him a great fit to serve both

of these parks.”

“I take great pride in having the opportunity to work in another one of the

Hopi people’s ancestral homes,” said Masayumptewa. “I joined the National Park

Service to help preserve the legacy of

my people’s existence and migrations in

the southwest. I’m very excited about my

selection and I look forward to continue

working with the staff at both parks and

the communities that surround the parks.”

Masayumptewa previously served as

the deputy superintendent for the Southern Four Corners Group of parks, which

includes Navajo and Canyon de Chelly

National Monuments and Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. He has

also held positions as the superintendent

of Hubbell Trading Post National Historic

Site, the cultural resources program manager for the Southern Four Corners Group,

and the ruins preservation and archeology program manager at the Flagstaff area

national monuments including Wupatki,

Sunset Crater Volcano and Walnut Canyon National Monuments.

Masayumptewa first began his National

Park Service career in 1998 under the Student Career Employment Program at the

Flagstaff area national monuments. Upon

earning his master’s degree in May 2001

from Northern Arizona University, he

gained permanent employment as an NPS

archeologist.

When he's not working, Masayumptewa enjoys spending time with his family,

especially his grandkids. He also enjoys

farming, ranching, hunting, and fishing.

Masayumptewa also believes he would

not be in this new position without the

support of his wife Louella.

Local Hopi Phoenix Suns Fan, Justin Hongeva Shares his Hope and

Perspectives

Cheering the Phoenix Suns On; To Rise up to a Victorious NBA Championship Win

Justin Hongeva with his wife and children, picture provided by Justin Hongeva

Carl Onsae

Hopi Tutuveni

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – July 15, 2021 and

the last time the Phoenix Suns were in the

finals was back in 1993, when Charles

Barkley, Danny Ainge, and Kevin Johnson to name a few were on the 1993 roster.

During that time the Phoenix Suns made

the playoffs and won the Western Conference Finals Championship against the

Chicago Bulls. Although the local team

has made it past the Western Conference

Finals, they have not ever won the NBA

Finals. Now for the first time in 28 years,

the Phoenix Suns just might have a chance

of winning the 2021 NBA Finals.

The Phoenix Suns surpassed the Western Conference Playoffs with huge scores

and huge wins and are now battling the

Milwaukee Bucks to garner a win in the

2021 Finals.

Local Hopi Phoenix Suns fan, Justin

Hongeva talked with Hopi Tutuveni staff

about his perspectives and viewpoints

about his “fan ship” towards the local Arizona basketball team.

Hongeva, described himself as being a

fan since childhood, when his mother and

father watched the 1993 NBA Playoffs

on the television. From then on Hongeva

was taken in awe to the realm of sports.

At the age of 7, Hongeva’s attention was

captured around the local sports team and

watched every year with his mother and

father, with hopes of seeing the Phoenix

Suns win the finals Championship.

Hongeva stated that he has been waiting

“most of his life” to witness the Phoenix

Suns make the Playoffs and win the Finals. Seeing the team in action, Hongeva’s attention would veer toward certain

player’s style and ability, resulting in him

having his favorite players as many fans

do. One of those favorite players he mentioned was Shawn Marion and seeing his

favorite player on the court was a sight to

see for Hongeva.

Marion, who was a four-time NBA AllStar and one-time NBA champion, retired

from basketball in 2015 and still believes

he should be in the Hall of Fame, so it is

no wonder why Hongeva would also relate to Marion as one of his favorite Suns

player. According to some, “His best years

were with the Phoenix Suns when he was

the swingman running the floor with Steve

Nash.”

Hongeva was also asked about how he

feels about Larry Fitzgerald purchasing a

minor stake in the Phoenix Suns. Hongeva

stated, “I think it’s cool seeing a celebrity

of that stature buy part of the local team,

because it shows his dedication to a local

sports team and how Larry wants to be

part of the local family. I also think it’s

rare to see any celebrity take such interest

in any local team and especially the Phoenix Suns, so I think it’s so cool.”

Lastly, Hongeva was asked about how

he would feel if the Suns won the Championships. Hongeva stated, “I would feel ecstatic, and emotional about them winning

because it has been long overdue and we

need to have this win again.”

Being a local longtime Suns fan, Hongeva also joined in on an NBA podcast

which circulated around Arizona during

which participants could share their points

of view about the Phoenix Suns. One of

the most recent podcast called, ‘Breaking

the Game Podcast’ Hongeva talked about

the Phoenix Suns and his perspectives.

Although, Hongeva is no stranger to the

podcasting world as he has a podcast of

his own called “Carl and J-Man Save the

World” in which he and his co-host talk

about the life of being a Native Hopi in the

modern world.

Hongeva along with his wife and 4 children have been to the Phoenix Suns Arena

every year to watch their favorite sports

team play and to give their support, even

when the Suns weren’t in the playoffs.

Being in the middle of the Finals games,

with game number 5 right around the corner and the playoffs almost coming to an

end, the Phoenix Suns have their work cut

out for them. The Suns will have to pull

off two more wins, of the remaining three

games, to claim victory.

Hongeva is super excited about the remaining NBA Finals games and hopes and

prays all the way up north in Hopiland, for

good things to come to the Valley of the

Sun, while the Phoenix Suns are being

cheered on to “Rally the Valley” with a

first NBA Finals win.

There’s no doubt that the fan’s emotions

and temperatures will rise for this hot desert city team like a Phoenix and the Sun, if

only they acquire the championship goal

in the 2021 NBA Finals history.

Inter Tribal Council of Arizona

Celebrates the Native Right to Vote

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Submitted by: Alexander

Castillo-Nunez

Phoenix, Ariz. - July 16, 2021 The Inter

Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) hosted

over fifty (50) guests during a virtual celebration recognizing the 73rd Anniversary

of the Native Right to Vote in Arizona on

July 15, 2021. The event was co-sponsored

by the Arizona State University Indian Legal Clinic and All Voting is Local Arizona. It featured a number of notable guest

speakers, including President Bernadine

Burnette of the Fort McDowell Yavapai

Nation, Governor Stephen R. Lewis of the

Gila River Indian Community, and Mr. Arlando Teller, Deputy Assistant Secretary

for Tribal Affairs at the U.S. Department of

Transportation. Also in attendance was Gail

Hunnicutt, granddaughter of the late Frank

Harrison.

On July 15, 1948, Arizona Supreme

Court Justice Udall overturned a previous

decision that prohibited American Indians

in Arizona from voting in state and federal

elections. This was achieved by the efforts

of Frank Harrison and Harry Austin, both

members of the Fort McDowell Yavapai

Nation, who were denied their right to vote

when registering at the Maricopa County

Registrar’s Office and later filed a lawsuit

against the county. Twenty years prior, in

1928, Peter Porter and Rudolph Johnson of

the Gila River Indian Community were both

denied their right to vote when attempting

to register at the Pinal County Recorder’s

Office. They too filed a lawsuit, but were

unsuccessful at the time. The ITCA virtual

celebration was in honor of the efforts made

by these gentlemen and acknowledging Natives in Arizona who continue to encourage

their communities to participate in state and

Heat Related Health Conditions and

Tips: Heat Exhaustion VS Heat Stroke

Submitted by: Joycelyn Ovah, RN

PHN – Public Health Nursing – Hopi

Health Care Center

Polacca, Ariz. - July 12, 2021 and all

over the world temperatures are breaking

records with some of the hottest temperatures in recorded history. Scientists are

concerned that global warming is now

taking its toll, creating weather conditions

that affect our everyday activities.

Summer heat is affecting us all with

heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat

stroke. We all have to be mindful of our

own health condition and know how much

exercise/working our bodies can handle in

such high temperatures.

Try to stay indoors when the heat is at

its highest, which is usually between the

hours of 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Plan your

outdoor activities carefully. If you need

to be outdoors during these times, wear

loose fitting clothes, wear a hat and use

an umbrella. Make sure you drink plenty

of water before you start exercising outdoors; wear sunblock (SPF 15 or higher).

Frequent rest periods, under a shade, are

recommended.

Heat cramps often occur during strenuous physical activities in extremely hot

temperatures. It often occurs in painful

muscle cramps in the abdomen, calf and

thighs. The cramps can often be alleviated by rest, taking fluids and replenishing

lost electrolytes with sports drinks. Seek

medical advice if you have a pre-existing

heart condition or conditions lasting more

than one hour.

Heat Exhaustion can result from prolonged excessive heat exposure with inadequate fluid intake. It can come on rapidly.

Your core body temperature can be elevated to 100.4F – 102.2F degrees. Signs and

symptoms include:

•Rapid pulse

•Profuse sweating

•Headache

•Nausea

•Vertigo (dizziness)

•Weakness

•Fainting

•Extreme thirst

•Irritability

•No urine output

When you notice that someone near

you is exhibiting these signs remove the

person from the heat, place them under a

shade or in an air conditioned room. Offer

cool water or something to drink, apply a

cool compress to the facial area, neck and

under the arms. Remove or loosen clothing. Encourage the individual to rest until

body starts to cool down.

Take the individual to the nearest hospital, if their condition is not better within

one hour, or if the person has other medical conditions. Call 911. If heat exhaustion

is not addressed, it can lead to heat stroke,

a more serious heat related condition.

Heat Stroke is a more serious life-threatening heat related health condition. It is

caused by overexposure to extreme heat

conditions where the body is unable to

cool itself. The body’s temperature regulating system fails, causing rising core

body temperatures over 104 F or higher.

At this stage the body stops sweating, as it

is unable to cool itself off. This is a medical emergency and can lead to death.

Signs and symptoms include:

•Very high body temperature >104F

•Red hot, dry skin. No sweating

•Bounding rapid pulse

•Seizures

•Dizziness

•Confusion

•Slurred speech

•Fainting or loss of consciousness

Call 911, remove the person from the

heat to a cool environment, sponge with

cool cloth to head, neck and face, remove

unnecessary clothing, DO NOT give fluids. Although the person may be extremely dehydrated giving fluids at this time is

contraindicated due to any altered mental

status, where choking is a real risk which

may cause aspiration of fluids into the

lungs. Stay with the person until Emergency Medical Service personnel arrive

and be ready to perform CPR if necessary.

All three heat related conditions can be

treated if recognized early. Prevention is

the key.

Greetings from the 100 Mile Club! We Made It through

– Awesome Job

Submitted by: Andrea Siow, Physical Fitness Coordinator - Hopi Wellness Center Staff

For Hopi Tutuveni

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – July 15, 2021 hello to walking and

running friends. Beginning Monday, May 3, 2021 through

this Friday, July 23, 2021, you made a great commitment

to accomplish a goal of reaching 100 miles within 12

weeks by walking and running during that timeframe.

In order to make this happen through this year’s virtual program, participants definitely had to be creative and

self-motivating to cover at least 8.5 to 9 miles per week

to reach a goal of 100 miles.

Normally we would gather together for scheduled fun

run/walks throughout the season, however, due to the current situation, much of the social interaction was limited.

This did not bring the summer series to a stop though,

no, no, no and quite the contrary. With 927 participants

signed up, we can say the spirit and determination of past

and present 100 Milers goes on STRONG!

Important Reminders about Mileage Log Sheet Submission

HOPI H.E.O.C UPDATES

Hopi Tutuveni July 21, 2021

Hopi Tribe Department of Health and Human Services Covid-19 Emergency Response

July 13, 2021 Report

“KYKOTSMOVI, AZ – July 13th, 2021 — Vaccines are safe, free, and highly effective against major strains including the Delta variant. They also are widely available

around Arizona to those 12 and older.

No vaccine is 100% effective, though COVID-19 vaccines come closer than many

others. These vaccines are the surest protection against a predictably unpredictable virus. Having more people vaccinated reduces the chance of breakthrough COVID-19

cases involving those who are fully vaccinated, though vaccinated individuals tend to

have far less severe outcomes.

With at least 50% of all Arizonans and our Hopi reservation population vaccinated

at 63.37% having received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, there’s less

chance for a major surge in cases or significant strain on the healthcare system and

intensive care units. But we’ve reached the point where severe cases and deaths

from COVID-19 are almost entirely preventable.

Why is it important to get vaccinated even if there are new variants of the virus?

Vaccines are a critical tool in the battle against COVID-19, and there are clear public

health and lifesaving benefits to using the tools we already have. We must not put off

getting vaccinated because of our concerns about new variants, and we must proceed

with vaccination even if the vaccines may be somewhat less effective against some of

the COVID-19 virus variants. We need to use the tools we have in hand even while we

continue to improve those tools. We are all safe only if everyone is safe.

Vaccinations are available at the Hopi Health Care Center for those adolescents’

12-years and older. Parents need to call (928)737 - 6029/6081/6257 or 6204 to schedule appointments. For Moenkopi residents Tuba City Regional Health Care will have

a Pfizer vaccine community drive-up vaccine clinic now available for individual’s

12-years and older. Call 1-866-976-5941 to schedule your appointment.

Here is a quick overview of the COVID-19 statistics on a national, state, and local

level:

As of July 13, 2021 the United Sates now has approximately 33.7 million confirmed

positive cases over 605,551 deaths reported.

Over 903,851 confirmed positive cases now exist in Arizona. Of those, close to

16,869are in Navajo County alone.”

The Hopi Health Care Center has tested over 9,725 patients to this date. Over 1,403 of

those tests at Hopi Health Care Center came back positive with 1016 from Hopi Tribal

members. Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation reported 276 positives for Hopi

Villages with a combined number of 1292 positive Hopi Tribal members.

The information below provides a glimpse of the current numbers in those respective

villages. The information by villages presented above is released by the Hopi Department of Health & Human Services, and the data shown reflects patients tested at the

Hopi Health Care Center and at the Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation specifically on Hopi tribal members. The data from Lower and Upper Munqapi is consolidated until specific data can be re-verified. (+) number decreased due to individual being

identified from another village. The community of residence for one Hopi Tribal member who tested positive at HHCC is in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The community

of residence for four Hopi Tribal members who tested positive at HHCC is in Winslow.

The data here does not include all state-wide data from other facilities such as Flagstaff,

Winslow, Phoenix or other hospitals.

*Note: These data include newly added testing results from the Abbott ID NOW machine since April 20, 2020

** A total of 1292+ individuals who tested positive are members of the Hopi Tribe.

+ Includes Village member(s) retested positive.

Prevention:

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. Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms. People with

these symptoms may have COVID-19:

• 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.

Recent Conflicts with Nuisance Wildlife on the Hopi Reservation

Submitted by: Darren Talayumptewa, Program Manager Wildlife & Ecosystems Management Program - Department of Natural Resources

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – July 14, 2021, as Hopi has faced

another dry Spring, as a result of the ongoing Extreme

Drought situation and as forage availability continues to

be very low, wildlife seem to be moving closer to residences on the Reservation seeking food and water, which

may lead to more human and wildlife interaction. Recently, we received reports of Bobcats being spotted within

villages and an unhealthy looking elk observed near a

residence.

These negative interactions can cause conflicts between

humans and wildlife such as coyotes or bobcats preying

on small pets or bears migrating in to forage through trash

and possibly breaking into homes in search of food. Most

of these conflicts can be easily resolved or prevented by

taking a few simple steps to eliminate attractants and hazing unwanted wildlife from your yard or property.

Here are some ideas for reducing conflicts with wildlife.

Eliminating Attractants

Wildlife is constantly in search of food, water, and

shelter. These essential needs are attractants and your

yard may be providing them, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Common food attractants: trash, pet food, crops, bird

seed, BBQ grills etc.

-Bird feeders are not typically a large problem as most

homeowners enjoy them; however, consider bringing

these items in at night if possible.

-Fence gardens with chicken wire to prevent damage

from rabbits and rodents.

-Clean BBQ grills after use.

Common water attractants: pet water bowls, ponds,

livestock tanks.

-Again, bringing these items inside at night if possible.

-Electric fencing can be used to discourage wildlife

around corrals or other areas with livestock troughs.

-Common shelter attractants: downed brush, leaf litter,

wood piles, and open areas beneath structures can attract

rodents and snakes and other small mammals.

-Remove vegetation litter whenever possible.

-Keep woodpiles stacked tightly.

-Seal off any entrances under your home or other structures.

-If an animal does take up residence, rags soaked with

ammonia can be used to encourage the animal to leave.

-Persistent load noise like a radio playing could help.

If the attractant cannot be easily removed, you may

be able to exclude the attractant to make it inaccessible

to wildlife. For example, with elk grazing in a cornfield,

placing netting or fencing around the field area to prevent

grazing.

Once you’ve identified and removed or excluded the

attractant(s) from your yard or property, give wildlife

time to figure out that food, water, or shelter source is no

longer available, typically one to two weeks.

Hazing

Wildlife is naturally wary of people, however, over

time, exposure to people can decrease this natural fear

over time. Hazing (or scaring) uses deterrents or negative

stimuli to move wildlife out of an area and is an important

part of keeping wildlife wild.

-Examples of deterrents: motion activated alarms, electric fencing, noise cannons, and home-made scarecrow.

-Examples of negative stimuli: yelling, noisemakers,

throwing objects, chasing. If an animal acts aggressively

to you, discontinue hazing and call HLES.

-Hazing efforts will be less effective on wildlife if attractants are not removed or excluded.

-It is also beneficial to vary your hazing techniques

so wildlife does not become desensitized to one hazing

method.

Safety Tips for Pet Owners

Most wildlife is not interested in humans or pets. However, there are times when wildlife and pets have negative

encounters. Small dogs and cats can be viewed as potential food sources. Again, securing attractants that bring

wildlife into your yard will minimize the risk for your

pet, but keep in mind your pet may be the attractant.

Here are some other helpful tips to minimize negative

interaction between your pet and wildlife:

-Keep pets inside or leashed when outside.

-Monitor pets when they are outdoors, even in a fencedin yard.

-Be alert when walking at dawn or dusk with pets.

-Carry an air horn, noise maker or even bear spray

when walking pets,just in case.

Bats

During the summer migration season, we receive calls

on how to deal with bats. Hopi is a corridor for bats that

may roost and forage for insects at night and early in the

morning. Following is some information and tips on how

to deal with these bats.

What to do if you find a bat:

-In general, if you find a bat, do not touch the bat.

Leave it in place.

-If the bat must be moved, use thick leather gloves and

a shovel or box to gently pick it up and move it to an

elevated location.

-If you find a sick, injured or dead bat(s), please call

Hopi WEMP immediately.

-Remember - a small percentage of bats can carry rabies. If you have touched a bat or suspect exposure, contact IHS immediately.

-If you do not want to move the bats or would like further assistance, please call Hopi WEMP.

Benefits of bats

Bats are highly beneficial to people, and the advantages

of having them around far outweigh any problems you

might have with them. As predators of night-flying insects, bats play a role in preserving the natural balance.

Although swallows and other bird species consume

large numbers of flying insects, they generally feed only

in daylight. When night falls, bats take over and prey on

the abundance of insects near water sources and street

lights.

If you have questions, please call the Hopi Wildlife and

Ecosystems Management Program at

Larry’s Corner

Holy Moly...Its

HOT!

HOLY MOLY! IT’S HOT! And when I say it’s

hot, I don’t mean in the kitchen hot or pizza oven

hot, I mean “the entire world is burning up hot.”

I would rather freeze than burn, but I don’t mean

that in a bad way, I just mean that when you live on

the Hopi reservation most homes don’t have central air conditioning like modern homes but rather,

we have windows that don’t open up fully and we

have fans that only blow the hot air around creating

more of a mess with this heat. Unlike the traditional Hopi homes, of which only a small number still

exist, where the whitewash walls and floors aid to

keep in the cool air while all the hot air is able to escape through the thatch-type roofs. And even those

homes seem more warm than usual.

It’s the middle of July 2021 and we Hopis are preparing for the end of our ceremonies for this particular cycle of the year. By this time, usually we have

our ceremonies on the hottest part of the days of this

month. Now I’m not complaining and I’m not sure

why we do it but I believe it’s for the greater cause

of making us suffer, so in the end our rewards will

feel greater but that’s just my cat opinion.

When I was a mush head kitten, growing up we

didn’t mind the heat. We loved the heat, we endured the heat, we wanted the heat, because it was

a time to play with water, have balloon fights, go

swimming at the local pond and be with our friends

during the summer vacation. See back then the summers weren’t so hot like today’s weather. Sure, it

would get hot but only for a while and it used to rain

heavily which created rivers from the floods, and we

loved that as young kittens. I remember it rained so

hard that it created a second Grand Canyon in the

middle of the road at our village and we were so

happy ‘cause we could send junk and our self-made

paper boats down the gorge that was in the middle

of our village. Times were so happy back then. It

seemed like it rained every day, it seemed like the

rain clouds were always there, and it seemed the

earth was greener and it seemed that no one complained about the heat as well.

I don’t believe I have ever seen a downpour like

the ones I experienced during my childhood. It

seems that the rain clouds have stopped hanging

around and now it seems that the rains have been

coming later and later.

Now I know that this just has to do with global

warming but in the back of my mind, I think us as

humans and cats alike might have something to do

with this global warming.

See in our tradition, we pray, we sing, we dance

for one thing specific, and that is WATER. Water is

precious to our culture, its precious to our way of

life, and it’s precious to our survival. When you hear

the stories and why Hopis chose to live in such an

arid place where little to no vegetation grows, you

might think to yourself, “Why didn’t our ancestors

choose to live by the oceans, or by a big hotel resort,

at least we could have shrimp cocktails brought to

us when we pray for our rain?” My guess is that Hopis chose this place to test our faith, and to test how

much dedication we have for mother earth.

Now don’t get me wrong, a lot of Hopis still have

faith for the rain to come to relieve our suffering

during these HOT summer months. I believe we

have to look at the bigger picture, and ask important questions like, “How could we improve our

water shortage? How can we improve our way of

life without water? How can we improve our understanding to remedy this hot situation we have on

Mother Earth?”

Of course, it’s not all bad, we can still have hope.

Maybe, just maybe, these hot weather conditions are

telling us that we need to start believing in our faith

more. Rather than going to the casino and praying to

the money gods to “hit me with some heat” we could

be praying more to the rain gods. Maybe we got our

prayers mixed up. We could also be less hateful to

one another and we could be less angry at the world

for the way we believe it is treating us and take more

responsibility for our misguided prayers.

It seems we have lost so much of our faith throughout the years, that now we don’t believe in our gods

and it seems we stopped believing in our own faith,

too. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some Hopis

out there that still have faith and still try to practice

the old ways, but it’s hard because being a Hopi in a

white man’s world can get confusing.

So, you might ask, how can we get our faith back?

How can we start believing in our religion again?

Well, I can’t tell you how to do that, it has to be up

to you on how you want to believe again.

My advice to you is that, it’s easier to believe in

the white man’s traditions because it’s all materialistic and it seems to be all about oneself. But being a

traditional native in this modern world is hard, that’s

the true test of faith. The white man doesn’t know

how complicated our religion is and even when it

involves something so simple, like rain. The white

man will never understand how complicated our

dedication to our faith is. But I say, I have faith in

my portable blow-up pool because I can set it out on

my front porch and waddle around during the hot

summers, but other than that, the only advice I can

give is to keep your faith up, something great will be

our reward in the end.

IRS readies nearly 4 million refunds for unemployment compensation overpayments

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IR-2021-151, July 13, 2021

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service announced today it will issue another round of refunds this

week to nearly 4 million taxpayers who overpaid their

taxes on unemployment compensation received last year.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which became

law in March, excluded up to $10,200 in 2020 unemployment compensation from taxable income calculations.

The exclusion applied to individuals and married couples whose modified adjusted gross income was less than

$150,000.

Refunds by direct deposit will begin July 14 and refunds by paper check will begin July 16. The IRS previously issued refunds related to unemployment compensation exclusion in May and June, and it will continue to

issue refunds throughout the summer.

To ease the burden on taxpayers, the IRS has been reviewing the Forms 1040 and 1040SR that were filed prior

to the law’s enactment to identify those people who are

due an adjustment. For taxpayers who overpaid, the IRS

will either refund the overpayment, apply it to other out-

standing taxes or other federal or state debts owed.

For this round, the IRS identified approximately 4.6

million taxpayers who may be due an adjustment. Of that

number, approximately 4 million taxpayers are expected

to receive a refund. The refund average is $1,265, which

means some will receive more and some will receive less.

Most taxpayers need not take any action and there is

no need to call the IRS. However, if, as a result of the

excluded unemployment compensation, taxpayers are

now eligible for deductions or credits not claimed on the

original return, they should file a Form 1040-X, Amended

U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

Taxpayers should file an amended return if they:

•did not submit a Schedule 8812 with the original return to claim the Additional Child Tax Credit and are now

eligible for the credit after the unemployment compensation exclusion;

•did not submit a Schedule EIC with the original return

to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (with qualifying

dependents) and are now eligible for the credit after the

unemployment compensation exclusion;

•are now eligible for any other credits and/or deductions not mentioned below. Make sure to include any re-

quired forms or schedules.

Taxpayers do not need to file an amended return if they:

•already filed a tax return and did not claim the unemployment exclusion; the IRS will determine the correct

taxable amount of unemployment compensation and tax;

•have an adjustment, because of the exclusion, that will

result in an increase in any non-refundable or refundable

credits reported on the original return;

•did not claim the following credits on their tax return

but are now eligible when the unemployment exclusion is

applied: Recovery Rebate Credit, Earned Income Credit

with no qualifying dependents or the Advance Premium

Tax Credit. The IRS will calculate the credit and include

it in any overpayment;

•filed a married filing joint return, live in a community

property state, and entered a smaller exclusion amount

than entitled on Schedule 1, line 8.

Taxpayers will generally receive letters from the IRS

within 30 days of the adjustment, informing them of what

kind of adjustment was made (such as refund, payment of

IRS debt payment or payment offset for other authorized

debts) and the amount of the adjustment.
