U.S. Representative Tom O’Halleran speaks with Hopi Chairman Herman Honanie

Stan Bindell
Hopi Tutuveni
U.S. Rep. Tom O’Halleran spoke about education and other federal issues Aug. 14 when
he kicked off the school year as the guest at
Hopi Jr/Sr High School.
O’Halleran, who represents the district that
includes Hopi, Navajo and much of northern
Arizona, said elected officials need to work
together, respect each other and be more transparent with the people and Congress.
O’Halleran spoke to the students during an
assembly and then had a live chat with HJSHS
Superintendent Steven Berbeco, Ed.D on KUYI
Hopi radio.

O’Halleran live chat on KUYI radio

In response to a student question, O’Halleran said he makes $174,000 per year.
Another student asked if he had met President Trump and if he agreed with him. O’Halleran responded that he has not met Trump
and disagrees with him on many issues. He
said the president should work with people
rather than making threats.
O’Halleran said if America needs to be defended that they should do it, but only after all
other options have been exhausted.
O’Halleran
said
educators
need
to get back to running the schools.
“It is not my job to tell you how to run your
schools,” he said.
O’Halleran said the federal government
should better fund schools, but should let the
educators do their jobs. He said he is only one
voice in Congress.
“But you are many,” he said.
For example, there are proposed cutbacks
to the Meals on Wheels program that serves

senior citizens. He said a number of seniors
sent a ton of paper plates to Congress to make
their point that this program is needed. His
point is that the people need to contact their
congressional representatives when they want
to voice their opinions.
“We have to change minds, but we need to
do that by working with them,” he said.
O’Halleran
has joined a congressional group
called the Problem Solvers that
is a bipartisan
group working
toward
solving problems.
We’re working Councilman Wallace Youtogether out of vella Sr. talks to Tom
mutual respect,” O’Halleran about Low
Mountain Road
he said.

State Legislators commend HOPI PRIMARY
ELECTION
Hopi Councilman Keevama on SEPTEMBER 14
economic development efforts
VOTE FOR

Louella Nahsonhoya
Hopi Tutuveni
Reactions of dismay have
been consistent throughout
Villages and Hopi Tribal Programs and Employees as they
submit their FY2018 General
Fund Operating Budgets, at a
mandated 12% cut.
With dwindling revenue in
the Hopi Tribe’s coffers and
the looming closure of the Navajo Generating Station, the
Tribal Council issued a directive to cut the 2018 budget by
12% for all entities receiving
General Fund monies. The
Tribe’s main source of revenue
is through the sale of its coal
to Peabody Coal Co. who mine
the coal then sell it to NGS to
generate electricity.
In June, the Navajo Nation
Council, after negotiations

with Owners of NGS, approved a lease for the plant to
remain open through the end
of 2019 giving both Tribes
a little more time to plan for
their financial future.
Hopi Tribal leaders immediately created a Task Team
to seek and create economic
development opportunities to
begin generating new revenue
for the Hopi Tribe. They also
created another Task Team to
identify all current financial
revenue and assets of the Tribe
and come up with solutions on
how to lower financial expenditures.
Hopi Tribal Council Representative Lamar Keevama
placed the Tribe’s financial situation as a priority and active-

ly researched and advocated
for ways in which to help the
Tribe find alternative revenue
and achieve financial stability,
through economic development opportunities.
Keevama’s efforts in his
quest for economic development and financial independence for the Hopi Tribe, did
not go unnoticed.
On August 15, Arizona State
Legislators Judy Burges, Sonny Borrelli, Steve Smith and
Mark Finchem sent a letter
to Keevama acknowledging
his “incredibly faithful work
attempting to bring new economic development and independence to the Hopi Tribe;
the Hopi people.”

The letter further states:
“Ever since the announcement of the shuttering of
the Navajo Generating
Station, we have heard
your views, and actually
participated with you in
meetings and presentations
where your commitment to
the Hopi Tribal future has
been most evident.
You testifying during the
legislative field hearing in
Page, AZ was impressive,
professional, and informative”…… “please accept
this letter of appreciation
for the dedication you have

shown by accomplishing
hard research, creating consensus among your Tribal
Council members, looking
after the economic future
of your people, and willingness to bring down walls of
division and distrust.
Working with you on
the NGS concerns has
been rewarding and soon
many will know how critical your portion in all the
meetings,
negotiations,
and guidance was”… “The
Hopi Nation is fortunate to
have a leader like you!”
Tribal leaders agree that

the Hopi Government has
to find ways to deal with
the many challenges their
constituents and villages face, daily. The loss of
coal sales as its main revenue source only hampers
efforts to achieve financial
stability for the Hopi government.
However, economic development efforts cannot
rest solely with the Hopi
Tribal Council, but requires cooperative efforts
and involvement by the
entire Hopi community
and villages.

Afterward, O’Halleran
said he tremendously enjoyed his time on Hopi.
On a more serious note, he
said there is a tremendous
funding difference in various districts because of the
difference tax bases.
“We need to level the
field,” he said. “We want
to make sure we get more
money and spread it
around efficiently.”
O”Halleran said standardized tests are changed
too often and should be
left alone for a decade. He
said education needs more
funding both in the state
and in the nation.
He said people on the
East Coast have no idea
what the people on the West
Coast go through in terms
of problems with water.
O’Halleran said Congress needs to have more
of a vision with the future
rather than dealing with
problems when they be12. Action Item 066-2017 – To approve Lease Agreement between the Hopi come a crisis.

in the state legislature, and
seeing that the elected officials did not treat the citizens well.
Berbeco said this day
was special and hoped the
students felt a connection
to all the other students
who were in class in other
states and other countries.
“Today we bring together people who support
you,” he told the students.
Berbeco said O’Halleran is working to create a
better job, better land, water and air for the people.
Berbeco also introduced
Hopi Chairman Herman
Honanie to the students.
He said it was an honor to
recognize the Chairman
because the chairman saw
who he wanted to be and
took those steps.
Chairman
Honanie
praised
Superintendent
Berbeco for giving the students words of inspiration.

“Education is very very
important,” he said.
Chairman
Honanie
spoke about past Hopi
leaders who told their people that they should take
the good of the Hopi and
the good from the white
man so that they could
have a better life.
“They were not educated, but they saw the future
was in education,” he said.
Chairman Honanie told
the students to talk to their
teachers and administrators about what they want
to learn.
He pointed out that his
wife has a Master’s degree and two of his assistants graduated from law
school. He also told the
students to listen to their
parents and grandparents.
“We have a great Hopi
Nation,” he said.
Chairman Honanie told
the students to look back at
their values which include
humility and respect.

Hopi High School hosts Cross Country Invitational

Hopi High girls runner Jaeda Honani collects her second place medal from
Hopi High Principal Claudia Edgewater and Hopi High Athletic Director
Ricky Greer.

Jihad Nodman gets his medal from Hopi High Principal Claudia Edgewater
and Athletic Director Ricky Greer.

By Stan Bindell
Hopi Tutuveni
POLACCA, ARIZ.---Jaeda Honani proved the pride
of Hopi High as she finished in second place in the girls
cross country race at the Hopi Invite Aug. 29 at Hopi
High School’s Bruin Stadium.
“I felt better than last year. It was good,” she said
about her second place finish.
Honani placed tenth at the Hopi Invite last year.
Honani, a 16 year old junior, said her running improved because she ran a majority of the summer, which
she didn’t do last year.
“It makes a difference,” she said.
Unfortunately, her teammates did not run during most
of the summer and the Lady Bruins finished in fifth place.
“They ran some during the summer, but they weren’t
as persistent as I was,” she said.
Honani dealt with knee problems last year, but this
year she has been healthy so far.
“I just need to do a lot of stretching and dynamic
workouts,” she said. “My goal is to do better at state this
year and help the team win state.”
Honani said she has no problems keeping her grades
up during the cross country season, and she likes run-

ning for Hopi High Coach Rick “The Legend” Baker.
“It’s a lot better because his workouts are harder. They
build strength. I also enjoy his motivational talks,” she said.
Honani hopes to earn a cross country scholarship to
college, but hasn’t decided where she wants to attend
college. She wants to major in engineering.
Baker, who coaches girls and boys, said neither team
ran to expectations. The Lady Bruins placed fifth out of
11 teams. The Hopi boys placed sixth out of 13 teams.
“It wasn’t too good. We have to make some adjustments and start our workouts,” he said.
Baker said the Hopi girls did not run to their potential
because most of them didn’t run during the summer.
“This is a good indication of the work we need to do,”
he said.
The weather was hot, but Baker said that was no excuse for a poor run because all of the runners had to run
in the heat. Coach Baker said Honani ran a good race
but the other runners were too far back.
“We need to close the gap between Jaeda and the rest
of the runners,” he said.
Baker said the girls could improve by coming to prac-

tice, working hard, staying healthy and injury free. He
said the team goal is to get in shape and improve one
meet at a time.
Baker said the boys didn’t run to his expectations. He
said Jihad Nodman and Steven Baker ran well, but he
said the next three runners were too far back. Nodman
finished in 12th place and Baker came in 16th in the 101
runner race.
“The other three need to move up,” he said. “We need
to close the gap between the number two and number
three men.”
Baker said the boys could improve by running in a
pack.
He said the goal for the boys for the season is to “stick
to the process, believe in the process and work hard.”
Baker said all of the runners were academically eligible. He encourages them to stay on top of their work and
to go to tutoring. He also tells his runners to stay away
from drugs and alcohol because they are dangerous.
“You will never reach your potential if you’re into
drugs and alcohol,” he said.

Celebrating Your Success For A Healthy Life

Jessica Quamahongnewa
Diabetes Prevention Educator
The Hopi Special Diabetes Program,
along with the Hopi Department of
Health and Human Services, would like
to give a heartfelt shout out to all the 979
participants that registered for the 25th
Annual 100 Mile Club this year. This 12
week run/walk program for all of us was
with good intentions for a positive change
in our lives. Just like any journey, we encountered obstacles along the way, and
at the end of the 12 week program, we
applaud the 192 participants that reached

100 miles; some participants went above
and beyond the 100 mile marker!
Indeed, that feeling of accomplishment
has to be the greatest momentum to experience. Build on that existing habit!
The time you get up, your morning routine…all habits. When you want to add
new habits into your life, it can be useful
to build on an existing one. Focus on the
benefits because sometimes it’s tough to
stay motivated when working towards a
long term goal. Remind yourself on a reg-

ular basis about why you’re doing this,
and you’ll feel more confident about your
body. Enjoy the process as much as you
can. Not only will you be happier for it,
but you will also be more likely to actually stick with your good intentions. Look
for forms of exercise that you truly enjoy,
you don’t have to be in the gym every day
to be active.
The 2018 100 Mile Club is already in
the planning stages; and with that, comes
change. We believe it will be a program

to fit your pace, and you will be able to
build on a greater change. Exercise is
challenging, yet, having diabetes and
dealing with the complications that come
along with it is something we should not
ignore. The choice is yours; choose exercise and healthy eating habits!
Look out for more activities to come
your way from the Hopi Special Diabetes
Program. Here’s to living life to the fullest, and to be happy amongst our people.

Donated “National Treasure” of Hopi Pottery Masterworks, to
go on exhibit September 16 at Scottsdale’s Museum of the West
Rebecca Heller, Communications and Marketing Manager
Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s museum of the West
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. More
than 65 of the finest examples
of Hopi pottery will go on exhibit for the first time Saturday,
September 16, 2017 when the
“Canvas of Clay: Hopi Pottery
Masterworks from The Allan
and Judith Cooke Collection”
exhibition opens at Western
Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of
the West.
Spanning six centuries, the
exhibition explores the history and stylistic traditions of the
Hopi, who have excelled in the
creation of ceramics for generations. Among the historic
and contemporary masterworks
are 18 ceramics by Nampeyo
of Hano (Hopi/Tewa, c. 18601942), the most famous of the
Hopi potters. Twenty-two other
master potters are also represented in the exhibition, including Nampeyo’s daughters and
other descendants.
The exhibition includes approximately half of The Allan
and Judith Cooke Collection,
one of the finest private collections of Hopi pottery, which has
been gifted to the museum. Ceramics from the collection will
be permanently featured in a
new museum gallery, The Allan
and Judith Cooke Gallery. Sponsored by the City of Scottsdale,
the gallery honors the donor
and his late wife, and the Hopi
people whose tribal land lies in
northern Arizona.
Exhibitions of ceramics from
the Cooke collection will be in
ongoing rotation in the new, permanent gallery. The inaugural
“Canvas of Clay” exhibition is

scheduled September 16, 2017
through December 2019. Native
American guests will receive
free museum admission September 16, 2017 through December
30, 2018. The museum is located
in downtown Scottsdale, Arizona, at 3830 N. Marshall Way.
“The City of Scottsdale is
privileged to provide its residents and the millions of annual
visitors to our community with
the opportunity to see this national treasure first-hand,” commented Scottsdale Mayor W.J.
“Jim” Lane. “It serves as a point
of pride not only for the city, but
for the state of Arizona.”
“We are honored to be entrusted with this exquisite collection,” said Mike Fox, museum
director/CEO. “This exhibition
is an ongoing tribute to the people of Hopi, and as such serves
as an important resource for research, education and inspiration
for the tribe, our local community, students, artisans and visitors worldwide. We are deeply
appreciative of Dr. Cooke’s generosity and this opportunity to
celebrate these gifted artists.”
“It’s amazing to see how far
back Hopi pottery goes, and the
awesome condition the ceramics
are in,” commented Rose Hawee, Hopi cultural advisor to the
museum. “This permanent exhibit provides the tribe, and all
people, with the opportunity to
enjoy the Hopi’s legacy, and realize how important it is. Hopefully, it will also encourage the
younger generation to continue
making pottery.”
According to Tricia Loscher,

chief curator of Scottsdale’s
Museum of the West, Native
American artists played a vital role in transforming Scottsdale from a small farming and
ranching community into a nationally acclaimed creative and
artistic regional hub. Among
the best known are fashion and
textile designer Lloyd Kiva New
(Cherokee) and jeweler and potter Charles Loloma (Hopi), who
have inspired generations of Native American artists with their
innovative designs.
Shortly after World War
II, New founded Scottsdale’s
Craftsman Court on Main Street
and then, in the early 1950s, the
highly successful Kiva Craft
Center (a series of small shops
operated by individual artists) on
Scottsdale’s Fifth Avenue. Loloma and his wife Otellie Loloma
(Hopi) were the first tenants of
the Kiva Craft Center.
“This collection tells seven
centuries of stories about Hopi
life and culture, and speaks to
how the cultural legacy of the
Hopi pottery tradition is carried
on today by the descendants
who create their own masterful
ceramics,” commented Loscher.
“Having these pots return to Arizona, and placed on permanent
exhibit in Scottsdale, is especially relevant given the integral
role Native American artists and
their artworks played in elevating the city’s cultural standing.”
About the Collector - Allan
Cooke, M.D., and his wife Judith (1945-2001) began collecting indigenous Southwestern
pottery more than 25 years ago

after a driving vacation to Santa Fe, New Mexico from the
couple’s home in Kansas City,
Kansas. On that trip, they visited
several Pueblo ancestral centers,
where they first learned about
Native American ceramics and
the potters who created them.
They purchased six jars, one of
which was made by a Hopi potter, before returning home.
Their passion for Hopi pottery
grew over the years, as did their
collection. The Cookes admired
not only the Hopi potters’ sculpture and painting skills, but also
their manual craftsmanship. Traditional Hopi potters hand coil
and scrape the clay, sculpting
the pot or bowl with extraordinary sensitivity, without using
a mechanized wheel to throw a
vessel.
In time, the Cookes’ Hopi pottery collection grew to reflect
the evolution of Hopi ceramics
over seven centuries, spanning
all of the major Hopi stylistic
traditions. The more than 120
pieces in The Allan and Judith
Cooke Collection include early black on white ware; 14ththrough 16th-century Sikyatki
polychrome (multi-color) masterworks characterized by exuberantly painted and sculpted
ceramics; and more fluid, artistic
interpretations by Hopi potters
of the 20th and 21st centuries.
As a professor of medicine at
the University of Kansas, Kansas City, Kansas, Cooke became
aware of Scottsdale’s Museum of the West. “After touring
the museum, hearing what the
museum’s director had to say

about the aims for the future of
the enterprise and the sincerity
of the vision, I must say I was
most impressed,” Cooke commented. “I believe the leadership
will make this a great museum.
For these reasons and others,
I am gifting my collection of
Hopi pottery to the Museum of
the West.”
The story of Hopi pottery, illustrated by individual ceramics from the Cooke collection,
is told in the book “Canvas of
Clay: Seven Centuries of Hopi
Ceramic Art” by Edwin Wade
and Allan Cooke. In addition to
being a scholar and interpreter of
Southwestern ceramics, co-author Wade has a background in
museum management and private and institutional curation.
Published in 2012 by El Otro
Lado Press, Sedona, Arizona,
the richly illustrated catalogue
of the collection is available
from the museum store (hard
cover signed by the authors,
$75; unsigned paperback edition, $34.95).
“Each piece in The Allan and
Judith Cooke Collection is the
finest example of Hopi ceramics,” Wade said. “The collection
is unparalleled.”
