with excitement, some with butterflies and overall just ready to get the adrenaline

pumped to run and run fast, too.

The True Legend, Rick Baker, a National Hall of Fame Coach was out and about,

here, there and everywhere Tawa was shining, especially around his Hopi Bruins harriers to give that good ol’ Bakes pep talk. And in usual fashion he was aided by Juwan

Hopi Tutuveni Attempts to Gather Updates on Hopi Tribe’s

Current State of Leadership Affairs

By: Romalita Laban, Managing Editor - Hopi Tutuveni

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – Tuesday, September 3, 2024 and since August

7, 2024 Hopi Tutuveni has received contact and inquiries about the

Hopi Tribe’s current state of leadership affairs.

Many folks have various conceptions of what a newspaper is supposed to publish and what is appropriate reporting. It is a goal of Hopi

Tutuveni staff and the Editorial Board to continue remaining a good

source of information, while following best guidelines and ethics, and

stands determined that the Hopi newspaper cannot publish gossip, hearsay, rumors and innuendo for the sake of democracy.

As of Tuesday, August 27, 2024 during a “gathering” in Hopi Tribal Council Chambers, in addition to Hopi Tribal Secretary making a

statement that, “…since Hopi Tutuveni is here, this is off the record…”

Hopi Tutuveni did not agree nor disagree with the Secretary, however,

staff informed those Hopi Tribal Council members that were present,

including the Hopi Tribal Secretary, about the recent contacts and inquiries being received.

Tutuveni urged the Council to seek aid from Hopi Tribe Office of

General Counsel in issuing a written statement or press release, to

ensure its Hopi public is being made aware of the state of affairs and to

ensure transparency, as well, for Tribal employees.

Tutuveni also expressed concern about the Chairman’s health and

hoped something in writing could be issued to reduce what has been

described to Hopi Tutuveni as feeling like they, the Hopi public, are

being “kept in the dark.”

The Tutuveni is just as much in the dark, as the Hopi people, due to

no contact and non-response as of this date from Hopi Tribal Leadership, regarding the functional status of these tribal offices and the

present chain or line of authority throughout the tribal government.

The Hopi Tribe, Office of the Chairman and its official public relations source needs to issue press releases concerning the extended

medical leave for the Chairman and any actions taken against any of its

Representatives and/or its Officers and anyone else, for that matter.

Until we get official confirmation of when, why and by whom anyone

has been suspended and/or is under investigation, anything we publish

would be nothing more than speculation based on what inquirers are

notifying staff about.

The Tutuveni is anxiously awaiting to receive formal statements and/

or press releases concerning the operational and administrative status of

the following tribal offices - Offices of the Chairman and Vice Chairman, Tribal Council Secretary and/or Office of the General Counsel.

Hopi Village Representatives are also encouraged to inform their village members and issue statements to Tutuveni, as well.

Further actions taken by the Hopi Tribal Council regarding continued leadership will also need explanation and reasons by and for those

sources, as well, including the nomination and official action to seat

Wendell Honanie, Village of Kyakotsmovi Representative, as the pro

tem Presiding Officer of the Hopi Tribal Council as of Sunday, September 1, 2024.

With a quorum present and as the pro tem Presiding Officer, Honanie

called the September 1, 2024 Hopi Tribal Council 4th Quarter Session

to order and presided over items I. CALL TO ORDER through III.

ROLL CALL.

Maude Yoyhoeoma, Tribal Council Representative, Village of Sipaulovi was not present to be sworn in and certified during Item II. CERTIFICATION OF COUNCIL REPRESENTATVE AND APPOINTED

OFFICIALS. Presiding Officer Honanie called for a recess at approximately 10:08 a.m. with Hopi Tribal Council reconvening its session on

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.

Hopi Tutuveni staff arrived at the Hopi Tribal Council Chambers

at approximately 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 for Item

11. “Discussion & Possible Action – Email dated August 29, 2024 Re:

ANDREWS NA AND LETTER 8.29.2024. From Fred Lomayesva,

General Counsel, Office of the General Counsel. **Time Certain on

Tutuveni staff was informed, by Hopi Tribal Council Representatives,

present in Chambers, that quorum was not established at the 9 a.m.

starting time, so there was no meeting. Hopi Tribal Secretary also confirmed that quorum was not established and attempts to meet tomorrow,

Wednesday, September 4, 2024, will be tried once again.

Just as Hopi Tutuveni has done, the Hopi public is encouraged and

can also contact the Hopi Tribal Secretary’s office for further information, details and inquiries at 928-734-3132.

Those with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 illness should

continue to follow current guidelines for isolation including staying

home and wearing a mask around others for at least 5 days after their

symptoms started or after a positive test if no symptoms.

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

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).

Many individuals and family members have deterred from the practice of

wiping down frequently touched surfaces and staying home when ill. Get back

in the habit of wiping down frequently touched surfaces to eliminate germs to

protect family from illness. Most important message is for one to stay home if

you have flu like symptoms to avoid getting others ill.

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. - September 3, 2024 This month we are focusing on Childhood

Obesity. A lot of times we, as families, are away from one another due to everyday

life of work and school. It is very hard to monitor what our children eat while they

are out of our sight. The health of our children should be a priority along with our

health. Taking care of our bodies will contribute to our minds and souls also becoming healthy. Thus, will lead to a happier and confident child. So, as one parent whose

children are continuously snacking, here are a few factors we can try to avoid to help

our children make healthier choices. Remember, a little helps a lot when it comes to

our children. Take some time to encourage our little ones to eat healthy and share the

benefits of eating healthy.
