on their 4th youth service learning project. The “Waters for Life Youth Service

Project” was held at the Kaibab National Forest, North Kaibab District near

Jacobs Lake, AZ.

Nine WIOA Hopi youth, between

the ages of 18-24 participated in the

project. Throughout the week, activities included wooden pole fence repair/construction at Fracas Lake, Dog

Lake and V-T Lake.

Grand Canyon Trust holds the grazing permits for cattle on the Kaibab

North District. In their agreements

with the National Forest Service,

they are responsible for certain maintenance of the area lands and water

resources. This year, Grand Canyon

Trust requested our existing Hopi

Tribe/Kaibab Forest partnership to

also partner with them to do this work

resources and environmental occupations.

The intent of the Project is not only

to provide community service and educational enrichment, but also offers

peer and professional mentoring to

introduce youth to careers within the

areas of natural resources and environmental sciences.

In addition to the work aspect, all

partners involved conducted a series of educational presentations that

included topics covering: careers,

higher education, archeology, springs

stewardship, entomology (insects),

botany (plants), cartography (mapping), timber/ silvaculture (forestry),

wildlife, ecosystems, range management/conservation, cattle ranching,

cultural exchange and others.

Dr. Robert C. Robbins, 22nd

President of the University of

Arizona (UofA), and a group

of representatives, visited the

Hopi Tribal headquarters on

Monday, Oct. 16. The group

also met with community

members the previous evening,

upon arrival at Hopi.

After visiting the Hopi Tribe,

the group departed for a tour

of Walpi Village in First Mesa

then on to a meeting with Hopi

Health Care Center officials

and Hopi High School Superintendent and Principal.

Accompanying Dr. Robbins

was Karen Francis-Begay, Assistant Vice President of Tribal

Relations and a key liaison between the University and tribes

“to strengthen partnerships and

advance mutual goals.”

Also accompanying Dr.

Robbins was Hopi tribal

member and professor Jeremy

Garcia from First Mesa. Garcia is Assistant Professor in

the Teaching/Learning and

Sociocultural Studies Dept.

where he teaches American

Indian Studies.

Dr. Robbins said he is

grateful for Garcia’s leadership and contributions to the

University and appreciates

his cultural connectivity to

his people and community.

Dr. Robbins said Garcia is

the knot in the rope that connects the Hopi people to the

outside world of technology

and education, which former

and current tribal leaders share

as their desire for their people.

Dr. Robbins previously

served in the field of health

and medicine and has an interest in research initiatives,

and health policy. Dr. Robbins

and his team are interested in

ship as services to our people will surely be impacted.

I will pursue several critical paths to address the impending revenue shortfall:

First, I will review the possibility of negotiating with

the State of Arizona to recover tax dollars that Peabody

has paid to the state of Arizona for the sale of coal and

water. I believe the tax dollars being paid to the state of

Arizona rightfully belongs to the Hopi tribe. This potentially represents millions of dollars that may be brought

into the Hopi tribal government for tribal government

and village government operations. Taxes paid to the

state is estimated at $15 M to $20 M per year.

Second, I will continue to engage SRP, Navajo Nation, Peabody and other stakeholders on the status of

NGS to extend the use of our coal resources to power

the plant beyond 2019. While it is known that the NGS

lease has been extended to December of 2019, I believe

there is still a chance, however small, for NGS to operate to its original intended date of 2044.

Third, I will direct a thorough business analysis of our

existing investments in off-reservation commercial developments to determine how they are performing. If

they are failing to provide levels of returns to the Hopi

people as we have a right to expect, we should know why

they are failing and determine the best course of action.

Like other tribal citizens I was shocked to learn that

them more favorable for Hopi, I will do so. Otherwise,

we must be prepared to look at other options.

Fourth, I will undertake a thorough review of the

potential of imposing a severance tax on Peabody coal

company. Former Chairman Masayesva introduced a

tax called “Severance Tax” which is assessed on the extraction of minerals from the land. As coal is mined the

value of the land is diminished because coal is non-renewable resource. If we are able to assess the severance tax, we will be able to gain additional revenues for

the Hopi Tribe. In order for the tribe to assess taxes,

the Hopi Constitution requires the approval by majority

vote of eligible voters of the Hopi Tribe voting in a referendum. It is critically important for Hopi Citizens to

understand this is not a tax on the Hopi people. In fact,

the Constitution prohibits the tribal government from

imposing a personal income tax on Hopi members.

Fifth, I will work with the Hopi Tribal Council to focus on

development of more businesses on Hopi. This effort will include creating the appropriate legal and policy environment

for a private sector to develop and flourish on Hopi lands

The work involved in replacing revenue lost from

the closure of the Navajo Generating Station is a major challenge, however, as Chairman, working with the

Tribal Council and Hopi citizens there are options we

can pursue to overcome this loss of revenues.

proximately $12.5 million for the past two years. However, in anticipation of the potential loss of revenue, I drafted legislation for two potential projects that may greatly

benefit the Hopi Tribe in the future. Both pieces of legislation were unanimously passed by the Tribal Council and

are now being vetted by the Executive Director’s Office.

Through networking efforts, I was put into contact

with SEC Power Corporation by a notable member of a

neighboring community. This project proposal by SEC

is for energy distribution from an existing power source

utilizing proprietary technology. Tribal Council recently

passed this legislation, which I authored, to allow SEC

to work with tribal departments to assess the feasibility

of such a project. Should the project prove to be viable,

the Tribe will work towards locating a suitable location.

In April of this year, I testified in Page, AZ before a

panel of Arizona State Senators and House Representatives on the economic impacts of the closure of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) on the Hopi Tribe. After

this hearing, I was put in contact with Frontier Applied

Sciences (FAS). FAS, through proprietary technology,

can extract certain energies from coal to be sold to prospective customers. As with the SEC project, FAS presented their project proposal to the Tribal Council.

As the opportunity presented itself, I again drafted and

presented legislation to start the process of determining

the feasibility of the proposal. This project will be fo-

mined on Navajo Partitioned Lands.

In March of this year, I organized a meeting with the

Land Commission, the Water/Energy Committee, the

Hopi Tribe Economic Development Corporation, Northern Arizona University, and various tribal programs, to

brainstorm ideas on diversifying revenue streams to the

Hopi Tribe. Several ideas were presented and as a result

of the joint effort, a Solar Project was identified as a potential project on Hopi lands. Although similar types of

projects have been previously dismissed by the Council,

the potential closure of NGS could result in available capacity on the existing electrical transmission lines that

provide power from NGS to the Central Arizona Project

(CAP) and other customers. When NGS owners find a

new source of energy for CAP, this will make room on the

existing power lines which could be an opportunity for

the Tribe. While looking at the feasibility of this type of

project, other potential opportunities have come to light,

such as the City of Flagstaff wanting to go 100% green energy, and the exploration of Power Purchase Agreements

or PPA’s with other’s wanting to convert to green energy.

There are more opportunities that are yet to be explored and I will continue to work with the Tribal Council and the Executive Director’s Office, in diversifying

our economic development portfolio and our means of

revenue coming into the Tribe.

Founder/Director Black Mesa Trust

Sípàapu, the heart of Sípàapuni, known today

as the Colorado Plateau, is of special importance to the

Hopi and Tewa People.

As children of ancestors who came to this special

place millenniums of years ago, all Hopi Senom (Moti

Senom) have a serious obligation to protect and defend

Sípàapu-Sípàapuni, our Fourth World, a Sanctuary

(Waaki), and a safe place to live and raise our children.

It is common knowledge among Hopi ceremonial

practitioners that all waters, surface/groundwaters, flow

into the Little Colorado River, site of Sípàapu, to supply

waters needed to keep it “breathing”. The present impoundments of waters by non-Indians, big companies,

state/county governments, and towns that feeds Sípàapu

is slowly causing one of the World’s holiest religious

shrines, to die.

With this in mind, Black Mesa Trust (BMT) will hold a

Forum at Hotevilla Elderly/Youth Center on October 26,

starting at 6pm, to give candidates for Hopi Chairman

and Vice Chairman the opportunity to share their position(s) on the Little Colorado River (LCR) Water Rights

Settlement negotiations now going on between the Hopi

Tribe and Navajo Nation, in preparation for negotiations

with the non-Indian LCR water users. This forum will

not be a debate, but a respectful dialogue.

The Mission of BMT is to inform and educate our

people and a larger audience about environmental issues facing the Hopi Tribe. It is not the intent of BMT

Board of Directors to endorse any candidate for Chairman and Vice Chairman.

Keep an Eye on

Our Children

Jessica Quamahongnewa

Diabetes Prevention Educator

Hopi Special Diabetes Program

The Hopi Special Diabetes Program has interests in

its community, the working population, the elderly and

children. With schools now in full swing, our goal is to

assist in learning ways to promote healthy growth and

prevent obesity in youth. In a study from the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 6 (17%)

children in the United States are obese. Certain groups

of children are more affected than others. By working

with schools, we all have a chance to learn more about

this serious health condition. While there is no simple

solution, there are many ways we can support children

with their journey to good health.

Childhood Obesity Is A Major Public Health Problem

• Children with obesity are at higher risk for having

other chronic health conditions and diseases, such as

asthma, sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, and type

2 Diabetes. They also have more risk factors for heart

disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol than

their peers who are normal weight.

• Children with obesity can be bullied and teased more

than normal weighted peers and also more likely to suffer

from social isolation, depression, and lower self-esteem.

• Children with obesity are more likely to have obesity as

adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health

problems. Adult obesity is associated with a higher risk of

type 2 diabetes, heart disease and many types of cancers.

Childhood Obesity Is Influenced by Many Factors

Many factors can have an impact on childhood obesity, including eating and physical activity behaviors, genetics, metabolism, family and home environment, and

community and social factors. For some children and

families, obesity may be influenced by the following:

• too much time spent being inactive

• lack of sleep

• lack of places to go in the community to get physical activity

• easy access to inexpensive, high calorie foods and sugary beverages

• lack of access to affordable, healthier foods

There are ways we all can help prevent obesity and

support healthy growth in children. To help ensure that

children have a healthy weight, energy balance is important. Here are many things to do to help our children

achieve a healthy weight and maintain it:

• Be aware of your child’s growth. Learn how obesity is measured in children; follow through after health

screening assessment finds your child at-risk for potential weight issues.

• In place of foods high in added sugars and solid fats,

provide nutritious, lower-calorie foods such as fruits and

vegetables, at meal time and as snacks.

• Make sure drinking water is always available as a

no-calorie alternative to sugary beverages, and limit

juice/kool-aid intake.

• Help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day.

• Be a role model when it comes to making healthy

changes in meals, snacks, and exercising daily.

• Learn what you can do to help shape a healthy environment.

Addressing obesity is a sensitive subject that should

start in the home; however, it also requires the support of

providers and community members. We all can take part

in the effort to encourage a healthy life-style change.

This should not begin when health issues arise.

Let’s beat the news of being diagnosed by health care

providers as having a health condition and look forward

to hearing good things about how we are taking care of

our own bodies. By working together, we can look forward to seeing our youth grow to doing great things and

not struggling with health issues.

Letter to the Editor

One solution to the Hopi Tribal Council Budget Crises caused by the closing of NGS

Editor,

When the Navajo Generation Station stops, 80 percent of the Hopi Tribal Council operating budget will

stop as well. The salaries for all the Hopi’s working for

the council and the money divided between the Hopi

villages from the council will all be effected.

The coal located at Black Mesa is not the best (low

sulfur) coal found in the United States but it is the largest

coal deposit in the United States with over 21 billion tons

of coal valued at $100 billion dollars. The problem is

getting this coal to market without using water as a slurry.

In 1987 or so, while I was working for the Santa Fe

Railway, we did a study on building a rail line from

Black Mesa to our main line switch located at Winona

east of Flagstaff. The cost in 1987 was about 1 million

dollars a mile with a bridge across the Little Colorado

River near Cameron being the biggest expense. Most of

the land is owned by the Hopi and the Navajo Tribes at

the present time. The BNSF railroad is owned by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in America.

The facility at the Kayenta Mine on Black Mesa presently loads 240 rail cars a day to feed the power plant

at the Navajo Generation Station. This would be more

than enough to create two 100 car trains with 100 tons of

coal in each car. Once these trains reached the main line

east of Flagstaff the coal could be sent east to the power

plants or the west coast and sold to China, Japan, and the

international markets.

Perhaps Warren Buffet could build the railroad, supply the trains, and hire Native Americans to operate them

between Black Mesa and Winona? Royalties would be

paid to the Hopi Tribe on a price per ton, set by the tribe

and measured by the tribe at the loading facility.

If the tribe received $5.00 royalty per ton:

$5.00 x 100 tons = $500.00 per car

$500 per car x 100 cars per train = $50,000 per train

$50,000 per train x 2 trains per day = $100,000 per day

$100,000 per day x 365 days per yr = $36,500,000 per year

This would more than replace your loss from the closing of the Navajo Generation Station and create a few

more jobs in the process. The $5.00 figure is very low

as the present day price of coal per ton at the mine is

$60.05 with transportation charges around 25 percent of

that figure. Australia is charging China $95.93 per ton.

A very small amount of water is sprayed on top of each

load of coal to keep the dust down during transportation.

911 Addressing Community Survey

The Highway Safety Committee hopes to reach many people on Hopi

through this survey for a 911 Addressing System. Information from this

survey will be used to determine the need for a 911 addressing system in the Hopi community. A 911 addressing system will assign road

names, street signs, and addresses over a geographical area to ensure

the quickest emergency response time to community members.

WIOA Youth from P1

Along with these presentations, a forest service activity was introduced to

the youth called “Hopi Youth Bio-blitz

Challenge”. This activity required youth

to download the Kaibab Forest “I Naturalist” app onto their smart phones and

enabled them to capture and submit photos of any insects, plants, wildlife, birds

or other that they saw out in the natural

setting. A competition was generated

and teams were formed. The youth really liked and excelled in this activity and

showed a genuine interest in utilizing

modern technology to interact with the

natural environment around them. The

forest service will document these photos

and utilize to create a database of generated public photos and track various

wildlife species within the forest setting.

There was another unique experience

provided to the youth in which a native

from the country of Indonesia participated in the project and shared her culture,

education and conservation efforts with

the youth. This young lady is a Conservation Educator that promotes Human

Health and Environmental Health in her

native homeland. Through their non-profit; Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI) based in

Sukadana, West Kalimantan, Indonesia,

they also are committed to preventing

de-forestation and continued conservation efforts at Gunung Palung National

Park. The youth really enjoyed Ms. Rahmawati’s friendship and were very interested in her work and efforts. In the end,

the Hopi Cultural Resources Advisory

Task Team (Hopi Elders) brought everything that was discussed, throughout the

week, into perspective and talked to the

youth about our place in Hopi society and

emphasized our responsibilities as Hopi

People. Some of the youth were brought

to tears and thanked the CRATT elders

for being with them and sharing their traditional Knowledge! Prior to returning

home the group went to the Grand Canyon North Rim where the National Park

Service provided a presentation to the

youth about career opportunities within

HEEF’s Annual Alumni

Challenge Kicks Off

The Hopi Education Endowment Fund’s

(HEEF) 14th annual Alumni Challenge is

now underway. The Alumni Challenge is

a friendly competition in which alumni

“teams” vie to raise the most funds in the

name of their respective alma maters. The

two-week fundraising competition runs

through Monday, October 30th.

HEEF Board members are helping to lead

the campaign and have organized themselves into four alumni teams representing

Arizona State University (ASU), Northern

Arizona University (NAU), and the University of Arizona (U of A). Not to be left out,

Board members who graduated from other

universities have collectively organized

themselves the team, “Arizona Crushers”.

The HEEF Alumni Challenge encourages Hopi alumni to “give back” by making a donation in the name of their alma

mater. The challenge is also an opportunity for parents, grandparents, and other family members to show their school

pride by making a donation in honor of

their children, grandchildren or other family members currently attending college.

Justin Hongeva, HEEF Resource Development Manager said, “I look forward to

the HEEF Alumni Challenge because it’s

a chance for Hopi college graduates to

demonstrate school pride and give back to

the community by raising funds to support

future generations of Hopi students.”

Since 2000, the HEEF has awarded over

$9 million to support Hopi students. The

annual Alumni Challenge is just one of

HEEF’s many year-round fundraising efforts. The funds raised by HEEF through

the Alumni Challenge and other fundraising campaigns supports Hopi students attending colleges and universities in Arizo-

na, as well as many other schools across

the country. Since 2004, the Alumni Challenge has raised over $50,000. This year,

the HEEF’s goal is to raise $10,000.

In 2016, NAU alumni collectively

raised $1800. The proximity of NAU to

the Hopi community is likely a large factor in NAU’s dominance in this friendly, fundraising competition. Since 2004,

NAU alumni have won the competition

10 times, raising over 40% of all money raised through this campaign. Alumni

from the University of Arizona have won

the competition only once, but they have

collectively contributed the second-most

donations since 2004. ASU alumni have

yet win the competition, but according

to HEEF Board member and ASU alumnae, Amber Poleviyuma, 2017 is the year

“ASU trounces the competition and wins

the challenge.” The AZ Crushers have

won the competition once and could do

so again given the number of Hopis who

have earned degrees at non-Arizona colleges and universities. But regardless of

which “team” wins the 2017 challenge,

everyone is a winner in helping to raise

funds to support Hopi students.

The 2017 Alumni Challenge ends October 30th. Donations can be made online by

visiting the HEEF website (www.hopieducationfund.org) or in-person at the HEEF

office in Kykotsmovi Village. For additional information or to pledge a donation,

please call 928-734-2275. ###
