It was a

Wild Finish!

By: Ricky Greer, HJSHS Athletic Director

Camp Verde, Ariz. - December 27, 2023 It was a

wild finish.

The Hopi boys got down by 3, came back and took a

1-point lead with under a minute to go.

Camp Verde scored with 10 seconds left to go up by

1 and we missed the last second shot. Camp Verde 64,

Hopi 63. The Bruins finished in 2nd place of the 2023

Yvonne Johnson Invite. It was a great tourney for the

team! We're proud of you Bruins!

Isaiah Silas and Jarious Lomayestewa were both

named to the all-tourney team.

Up next for the Bruins, we host the Pinon Eagles on

Thursday, January 4, 2024 starting with the freshman

boys' game at 1:30.

Happy New Year everyone!

HOPI H.E.O.C UPDATES

Hopi Tutuveni January 3, 2024

Hopi Tribe Department of Health and Human Services

Covid-19 Emergency Response

Submitted by: Joyce Hamilton, Director - DHHS

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. - December 27, 2023 Happy New Year from the Department of Health and Human Services staff. The

holiday season can bring out many stressors that impact our judgement, choices and decisions; now that we are past the Holiday season, it’s time to roll up our sleeves to begin the New Year with healthy changes. The first step for you and your family

is ensure you have immunizations against the Flu, RSV and COVID-19. The season of germs and viruses will continue to be

amongst us; the best protection to avoid severe illness and sickness is to get updated on your family’s immunizations.

Based on surveillance data from the Hopi Health Care Center the number of COVID positive cases appears to be decreasing.

Hopi Health Care Center recommends the following:

1. Everyone 6 months and older, regardless of current vaccination status, should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to

protect against COVID-19 illness.

2. People with symptoms should still mask and get tested for COVID-19.

3. Those with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should continue to follow current guidelines for isolation including

staying home and wearing a mask around other for at least 5 days after their symptoms started or after a positive test if no

symptoms.

4. Those exposed to COVID-19 should continue to follow recommendations including wearing a mask around others,

monitoring for symptoms, and getting tested at least 5 days after last exposure.

5. People may choose to wear a mask at any time based on personal preference, but may be required in other places by

local authorities (i.e., individual villages, businesses, and schools).

6. Those that are concerned they may be at risk for severe disease, should talk to their health care provider about additional prevention actions.

As we move into the New Year, begin by making positive choices that will benefit you, your family and friends. Take advantage of the variety of activities, educational opportunities, and preventative screenings offered by the programs under the

Department of Health and Human Services. The Hopi Wellness Center offers a variety of programs to help you begin reaching your fitness goals, reducing unwanted pounds and healthy eating tips. The Hopi Cancer Support Services program offers

well woman exams for Breast and Cervical screening for prevention and early detection of cancer. The Hopi Women Infant

and Children’s (WIC) offers nutritional supplements to pregnant mothers and children up to age 5 as well as breastfeeding

promotion and support. The Hopi Tobacco Program offers tips and education for cessation of commercial tobacco use. The

Hopi Community Health Services CHR program provides in-home visitation for anyone requesting for follow-up on health

screenings of blood sugar, blood pressure along with knowledge on how to properly install and use of car seats for our children. The Office of Adult and Aging Program offers healthy meals for members 55+ on a weekly basis as well as family

support for ALTCS referrals and case management. The Office of Public Health Compliance provides food establishments

with health and safety inspections to protect the community against food borne illnesses. The Hopi Medical Transportation

Program provides transportation for non-emergency transportation to health care facilities and ensures you reach your health

care facility on-time for your scheduled medical appointment. The goals of the Tribe Department of Health Services is to

advocate, educate, inform and promote healthy holistic life styles while incorporating culturally appropriate values and health

concepts within our communities. For questions regarding services you may contact the Department of Health and Human

Notice of Availability for Public

Comment on Proposed Fencing

Improvements within a 500-year

floodplain at Polacca Airport

(P10), Polacca, Ariz.

By: Andrew Gashwazra, Director - Hopi Tribe

OCPD and LIS

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – November 11, 2023 The Hopi

Tribe, as sponsor of Polacca Airport, intends to replace

and realign the existing perimeter fencing at the Airport.

The improvements would replace failed and deteriorated

fencing surrounding the airport with new fencing to

enhance the operational safety of the airport. The fencing would consist of seven-foot-tall chain-link fencing

topped with barbed wire around the perimeter of the

Airport property.

Access gates would be included as part of the fencing improvements. The improvements would have no

anticipated impacts to the floodplain’s natural functions.

The functions of the existing floodplain would not be

impacted as a result of the proposed project.

Due to the Tribe seeking Federal Aviation Administration funding and approval of federal actions occurring

within a 500-year floodplain, a public notice and opportunity for comment is being provided.

The public may submit comments on the proposed

projects and their potential effects on the 500-year

floodplain for a period of thirty (30) days following the

publication of this notice.

All comments received during the review period will

be taken into consideration prior to the FAA making an

environmental determination.

Please contact fshupla@hopi.nsn.us for questions

or additional information regarding the proposed

project.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

November 27, 2023 - I read a Memorandum of November 22, 2023, from the Hopi Tutuveni, to “All”, relating

to the General Welfare Emergency Assistance Program

(GWEAP), regarding application requirements for Hopi

tribal members to apply and qualify for services. I respond

specifically to the requirement for tribal members to submit

an IRS Income Tax Form, the W-9 “Request for Taxpayer

Identification Number and Certification” form.

There appears to be confusion by the Hopi Tribe and its

HTPRC regarding the need for tribal members to file an

IRS W-9 form to receive this financial assistance. That is

not correct. Funds made available by the U.S. Congress; and

implemented by the U.S. Treasury Department, and other

federal agencies, are intended to address direct impacts

experienced by U.S. citizens resulting from COVID-19

pandemic.

These funds are intended to be provided to individuals

as “Beneficiaries” or as ‘End Users”. The U.S. Congress

intended for these funds to be used direct grants to individuals to address the hardships they experienced due to

COVID-19. Congress did not intend for these funds to be

“earned as taxable income” because no work is required to

be performed by individuals to receive this money. In other

words, there is no federal requirement for individuals to

submit W-9 forms (and be taxed).

The above reflects the same misunderstanding by the

Hopi Tribe (its CARES Act Committee and consultants)

when the initial CARES Act (and later ARPA) allocations

were received by the Hopi Tribe. Villages were not or are

not required to perform any portion of the work stipulated

in the Hopi Tribe’s federal grant awards (or the State of

Arizona’s federal grant awards). Accordingly, Villages did

not serve as Subgrantees or Subcontractors to the tribe, nor

to the State of Arizona. Instead, they are correctly regarded

as “Beneficiaries” or “End Users” to use the funds to address

their direct impacts, as they saw fit. In this regard, Villages

are not subject to the Single Audit Act requirements.

Hope this clarifies this confusion. You might want to

consult the ARPA Final Report of 2022 which stipulates

requirements on the use of American Rescue Plan Act

(ARPA) appropriations. Kwak’wha - Ben Nuvamsa
