Hopi Tribe Wins Snowbowl Appeal, Case

Against City of Flagstaff Reinstated

Submitted by The Office of the Chairman

The Arizona Court of Appeals

reversed the dismissal of the Hopi

Tribe’s public nuisance claim against

the City of Flagstaff for the City’s sale

of reclaimed wastewater to the Arizona

Snowbowl for snowmaking.

The Court of Appeals unanimously

held that the Hopi Tribe’s claim for

public nuisance under Arizona law is

timely and is not barred by prior federal

litigation. The Court concluded that

the Hopi Tribe should be allowed to

proceed with its claim that “treated

sewage effluent that has been processed

through the City’s wastewater treatment

plants . . .retains certain recalcitrant

chemical components that are not

degraded or removed in the wastewater

treatment process, some of which are

harmful to animals,” and that the sale of

reclaimed wastewater for snowmaking

at the Snowbowl will “interfere with

the public use and enjoyment of the

surrounding land.”

The Court recognized that, under

Arizona common law, public nuisance

claims are assessed by balancing the

reasonableness of the use against the

harm, considering the nature of the

area. The Court found that the Hopi

Tribe’s complaint properly alleges a

public nuisance under this standard.

In response to the decision, Hopi

Tribe Chairman Leroy Shingoitewa

stated that “the Hopi Tribe, as well as

many others, has always maintained

that snowmaking with reclaimed

wastewater on the San Francisco Peaks

is simply wrong. Using waste water

harms the use and enjoyment of these

areas and degrades the pristine nature

of the Kachina Peaks Wilderness

Area. We look forward to presenting

our environmental and public health

evidence to the court.”

Robert Lyttle, General Counsel for

the Hopi Tribe confirmed that “the

Hopi Tribe views the use of reclaimed

wastewater for snowmaking as a

violation, and we are pleased that the

Court of Appeals agrees with us and

has allowed the Tribe to proceed with

its case.”

The San Francisco Peaks, where the

Snowbowl is located, is an ecologically

unique alpine ecosystem and contains

rare types of habitat and species. The

area around the Arizona Snowbowl had

been used by the Hopi Tribe since time

immemorial and is of great cultural and

religious significance to the Hopi Tribe.

The case has been remanded to the

Superior Court in Flagstaff for further

proceedings.

On Tue, Apr. 23, the Hopi Veteran’s

Memorial Center was the place to be to

honor our own Hopi Code Talkers who

were recruited in 1943. The Hopi Code

Talkers used the Hopi language as code,

which was a vital part in defeating the

enemy during World War I and II.

“Some people still believe that only the

Navajo were code talkers and that all other

Indians who communicated by phone

or walkie-talkie were simply speaking

in their regular everyday vernacular and

thus not a code talker.” (W. Meadows)

Other Native American tribes served as

code talkers in World War I and II, but

have not been recognized until recently.

The Hopi Vice Chairman, Herman G.

Honanie, made the initiative to host the

2013 Hopi Code Talkers Recognition

Day because he was inspired by the value

and the magnitude of what the Hopi Code

Talkers did. Vice Chairman put forth a

Resolution (H-041-2012) to establish

April 23rd of each year as Hopi Code

Talkers Day.

The following were the servicemen

who served our country during World

War I and II:

Private First Class Charles T.

Lomakema – “Tawayawma” – Bear Strap

Clan - Shungopavi Village - U.S. Army

Private First Class Perry Honani Sr. –

“Wupatawa” – Water Clan - Shungopavi

Village - U.S. Army

Technial 5 Franklin Shupla – “Awiino”

– Tobacco Clan – Tewa Village - U.S.

Army

Private First Class Percival Nuvamsa –

“Masahoyniwa” – Tobacco/Rabbit Clan –

Mishungnovi Village – U.S. Army

Private First Class Floyd Dann

Navenma – “Lomahuytiwa” – Corn Clan

– Moenkopi Village – U.S. Army

Private First Class Travis S. Yaiva “Sikyawistiwa” – Bear Clan – Bacavi

Village – U.S. Army

Private First Class Frank C. Chapella –

“Tuukwavi” – Bear Clan – Tewa Village

– U.S. Army

Private First Class Warren R.

Kooyaquaptewa – “Shuute” – Bear Clan

– Tewa Village – U.S. Army

Sergeant

Rex

Pooyouma

–

“Sekyung’yum’tewa” – Corn Clan –

Hotevilla Village – U.S. Army Air Force

Corporal

Orville

Wadsworth

– “Dawahoynewa” – Bear Clan –

Shungopavi Village – U.S. Army Air

Force

Pooyouma was recognized as a Hopi

Harley Tongeva, the oldest living WWII Veteran of Hotevilla Village.

Code Talker in September 2010 when

the Director of Hopi Veterans Services

was notified by the U.S. Army Center

of Military Studies identified Rex

Pooyouma as the ninth code talker.

Orville Wadsworth was the last to be

recognized as a Hopi Code Talker by way

of a document in a metal tin discovered by

LeeWayne Lomayestewa. The document

was validated by the U.S. Army Center

of Military Studies shortly after Veteran’s

Day 2010. The document was diagram of

a radio net marked as “SECRET”.

During the World War’s there were

two types of codes that each language

was labeled, Type 1 or 2. Type 1 was

a formally developed special codedencoded vocabulary and type 2 was an

informal use of everyday non coded

vocabulary. Hopi was type 1.

Native American tribes who were

recruited as code talkers were separated

from other servicemen so that they could

come up with words to use as codes,

according to Dr. William Meadows who

was a guest speaker at the Ceremony.

Dr. Meadows is a Professor of

Anthropology and Native American

Studies at Missouri State University.

He is the author of four books, three

of which focus on Native American

Veterans: Kiowa, Apache and Comanche.

His testimony and research on Native

American Code Talkers contributed to

the passage of the 2008 Code Talkers

Recognition Act (Public Law 110-420)

that brought federal recognition for all

Native American Code Talkers.

It was Dr. Meadow’s first visit to the

Hopi Reservation and he thought of the

Hopi People as warm and welcoming.

He hopes to document more on the Hopi

Code Talkers to increase the recognition

they deserve. He gets leads every year

on Native American Code talkers as he is

working with 23 different tribes.

“I am struck by the humbleness and

modesty of the Hopi Code Talkers. You

hear of the Sioux who have ceremonies

for their warriors, but for Orville and Rex,

it sounds as though they just resumed

their lives and didn’t want to talk about

what they went through,” said Meadow’s.

Robert Tupa knew all too well what

Orville and Rex had gone through. Tupa

is a representative from the 90th Bomb

Group Association, a group of Veterans

from the 90th Bombard group that flew

B-24’s in the Pacific during World War II.

He came to represent the Veterans of the

90th Bombard Group who were too old to

come and to recognize Orville, who was a

part of the group as a code talker.

The 90th Bombard Group are known

as the Jolly Rogers and the best damn

bomb group ever because they shot down

more enemy planes than any other bomb

groups in the Pacific said Tupa, and they

were the first group to be deployed to the

Pacific after Pearl Harbor.

“This was one of the nicest events I’ve

been to, it tells a lot about the people and

the support from the community is just

wonderful. The Hopi People need to be

proud of these guys and the kids need to

know as well. I enjoyed my visit and glad

I made the trip,” said Tupa.

Empowering Wellness Through Indigenous Foods

Cultivating Wellness

Lolma! On Wednesday

April 24th, 2012 in conjunction

with the event “Empowering

Wellness through Indigenous

Food & Friends” participants

were fortunate to hear from

great

organizations

and

presenters from all over the

nation.

The focus of the day was

examining and exploring the

significance of our relationship

with food, especially for our

own Hopi community. In the

afternoon there was a food

demo by Executive Chef Nephi

Craig, from White Mountain

Apache. After preparation,

participants were able to “taste

test” from the new Rez Café,

“Cultivating Wellness” by

“Chef” Susan Secakuku and

“Chef” Kyle Knox.

Ok, Cultivating Wellness is

not an actual café or restaurant

but instead it is the name of

the team (Susan Secakuku &

Kyle Knox) who are a part

of the 2013 Healthy Native

Communities

Fellowship

(HNCF).

And Rez Café is not a true

café but instead the name of

an exercise tool that is part

of the HNCF tranings that

helps community members

facilitate exercises. These

exercises help participants

examine how they can create

a healthier communities for

themselves and hopefully put

those findings into action.

So the Rez Café and the part

about Susan and Kyle being

chefs is just a little stretch of

the imagination.

As a team, we’re trying to

stress the importance of our

Hopi People’s relationship to

food to the participants. To

be more specific we wanted to

get people to think about the

relationship and values tied to

traditional Hopi Foods and its

production, from seed to table.

In working with such a big

group we were forced to break

the entire group into smaller

groups of 10. The majority

of the exercises required

group talking, thinking, and

responding via words or

drawings on the provided

sheets of paper.

Luckily the entire group

varied and was made up of

health care workers, food

workers, youth & elderly

coordinators, local community

members. The ages ranged

from early 20 year olds to

elders. Needless to say, the

Special Master’s Report in the Little Colorado River Adjudication Favors Hopi Water Rights

Submitted by The Office of the Chairman

Phoenix, Ariz. – Special Master George

Schade filed a report in Apache County

Superior Court yesterday, concerning the

priority date to water rights claimed by

the Hopi Tribe in the decades-long Little

Colorado River water rights adjudication.

Special Master Schade concluded that

the Hopi Tribe holds water rights with

a time immemorial priority date for the

area within the Hopi Tribe’s Reservation

known as Land Management District

6. He also determined the Tribe holds

implied reserved water rights with a

priority of Dec. 16, 1882 for the lands

in the Hopi Reservation known as the

Hopi Partitioned Lands. Finally, Special

Master Schade concluded the Tribe

holds an implied reserved water right for

Moenkopi Island with a priority date of

June 14, 1934.

“We are pleased that the Special

Master has validated the Hopi’s longstanding claims to water,” stated Hopi

Tribal Chairman LeRoy Shingoitewa.

“Having time immemorial water rights

for Hopi villages and implied rights for

the Partitioned Lands and Moenkopi are

an essential part of guaranteeing water

for the Hopi people.”

Filing the report is the first step the

court will take in determining the priority

date of the

Hopi Tribe’s water rights. Any claimant

in the adjudication has the opportunity

to file objections on or before July 1,

2013, and respond to the objections on

or before Aug. 16, 2013. Apache County

Superior Court Judge Mark Brain will

then issue a ruling on the report. He may

adopt or reject the report.

Chairman Shingoitewa said, “We will

continue to vigorously assert all Hopi

water rights.”

Aaron Carapella Takes it Upon Himself to Recreate a Native American Nations Map

By Crystal Dee

Hopi Tutuveni

Aaron Carapella, of

Orange County, Calif.,

stopped by the Tutuveni

office to discuss a map

he created based on the

land areas where tribes

had originally lived before

being colonized and

relocated.

As a young Cherokee

boy,

Carapella

had

an interest in Native

American culture because

his parents would take

him to powwows in

Orange County. At these

powwows

would

buy items from Native

American vendors and

he noticed it was rare

that there would be maps

for sale. The maps he did

find seemed incomplete

because they listed only

a few tribes and often the

names would be incorrect.

“I knew there were

more Native American

tribes out there. Some

of the maps would miss

smaller tribes or the bigger

tribes,” said Carapella.

It took him a couple of

years of trying to find maps

that listed and located all

Native American tribes.

Finally he decided to

make his own map. He

began his map project in

his parent’s garage when

he was 19 years old. He

bought four poster boards

and taped them together

and drew a map of the

United States. He began

filling in the areas of where

he knew some of the tribes

were located, and as he

added more tribes he

contacted tribal offices

for accurate information.

However,

acquiring

information from other

tribes required traveling to

the reservations.

As a young man out of

high school, Carapella

was heavily involved

in the American Indian

Movement (AIM) and as

a member he, along with

others would get called

out to help with security

for an event such as

cultural celebrations. The

reservations he’d go to

he would visit the tribal

offices or tribal museums.

He’d get as much

information as he could

and always documented

his sources and then add it

to his map.

Since he couldn’t visit

all the Native American

Tribes, he traveled to

25 states only visiting

reservations

had

questions on. None of

which were the east coast

tribes, but he did go to

New York and Florida.

When he went to Florida,

he was able to get all the

states’ Native American

tribal

names

and

information. Seminole is

the only recognized tribe

Florida has. The different

bands of Seminoles are

not federally recognized.

“Out of the 35 tribes

some of them were

completely gone. I learned

that they were sold as

slaves in the Caribbean.

Black Jamaican’s have

the blood of those

tribes that were sold

and they know they are

Native American,” said

Carapella.

He learned that some

of the tribes didn’t have

any native speakers left or

they are trying to find their

culture and afraid to speak

their language. Because

of that he thought it was

inspiring to hear the Hopi

and Navajo language.

In addition, he found

that there are many

tribes that exist today,

but they are not federally

recognized. They are not

enrolled tribal members,

but they are proud of who

they are because they can

trace their records to a

mission and their families

knows their stories.

He created this map

so that it is pre-contact

by placing the tribes

where they historically

were located before the

white man made contact

and used their traditional

names instead of the

commercialized names.

He honored what tribes

believed and used tribal

sources as the final

confirmation.

“I made this map to

make people remember

that this entire country

was filled with tribes and

I just want this map to

exist,” said Carapella.

It took Carapella more

than a decade to finish

it away for a year, but it

Letters to the Editor

Peabody Strip Mining Depletes Hopi Water Resources

To Editor, Tutuveni:

The mission of Black

Mesa Trust is to preserve

and protect the lands and

waters in Black Mesa

region, using Western

science

and

Hopi

knowledge.

BMT was a key player

in ending coal slurry

operation on December

31, 2005, but not after 45

billion gallons of drinking

water was pumped and

poisoned by Peabody

Western Coal Co. At the

present rate of water use

by 8,000 members of the

Hopi tribe this amount

of water is enough to

provide drinking water

for 300 years.

With the shutdown

of Mohave Generating

Station and Coal slurry

operation, the pumping

of water is reduced from

4,200 acre-feet per year

(AFY) to about 1,200

AFY. This is still 3 times

the amount of water we

are now using in our

homes, schools, hospitals

and businesses.

The only way to end the

abuse is to shutdown one

of the world’s largest strip

mining when Peabody

coal lease expires in 2025.

Peabody, and owners

of Navajo Generating

Station are pressuring

the Navajo Nation and

Hopi Tribe to extend

Kayenta Mine lease up

to 2044. BMT intends

to rigorously oppose the

extension.

BMT is looking into

the impact of stripmining on our ancestral

villages and burial sites

THE HOPI TUTUVENI

of our ancestors who

settled in Black Mesa

region

hundreds

years ago. Over 2000

sites were found in

Peabody leasehold by

an archaeological field

school.

BMT has no

record of how many

sites have been saved

or destroyed.

There

are many others issues

associated

with

the

mining operation that

BMT is investigating.

As we gather more

information we will share

it with the public.

Vernon Masayesva

for the map were those

of Edward S. Curtis who

took pictures of Native

American tribes back in

the early 1900s. Because

exist in that era, Carapella

didn’t need permission to

use these photographs.

Since the map has been

published he has received

positive feedback and

mostly

constructive

criticism. Some people

thanked him for making

the map because one

hadn’t been created before

and they had never seen

anything like it.

“It was really a simple

idea, it’s not a brain

science to do this,” he

said. “Creating this map

was the discovery of what

it means to be Native of

my own self.”

He has sold over 55

maps to colleges, tribal

offices, casinos, museums

and individuals. The map

is sold on a 35” x 54”

glossy and bond paper. A

CD will be released later

in the year that will have

more information on each

tribe.

As mentioned earlier,

Carapella is one eighth

Cherokee of Oklahoma,

on his mother’s side. His

great grandmother is from

Eastern Oklahoma. He is

trying to get enrolled into

the Cherokee Nation but

needs to do a little more

research on his family

because he needs to prove

direct ancestry in order to

get enrolled.

Carapella was traveling

cross country on a road

trip to California and

back to Oklahoma. He

said he was in awe of the

Hopi Reservation. They

toured the Hopi Tribe

Administrative

Offices

and buildings and had

the honor of meeting

Vice Chairman Herman

Honanie,

who

took

the time to meet them.

LeeWayne Lomayestewa

also gave them a brief

history of the Hopi Tribe.

Their visit ended at

the Hopi Cultural Center

where they ate traditional

Hopi food.

Maxine

Wadsworth from the

Vice Chairman’s office

generously gave them

some piki for the road.

Hopi Tribe Travels to GRIC for a Glimpse into Their Tribal Operations

By Louella Nahsonhoya

Hopi Tutuveni

As part of a Tribal Government

to Government initiative, the

Gila River Indian Community

(GRIC) hosted a Capacity

Building Session in association

with the Hopi Tribe on April

16-18. The Session was held at

the GRIC Governance Center in

Sacaton, Az.

Tuesday,

GRIC

Governor Gregory Mendoza

welcomed the Hopi delegation,

represented by Hopi Vice

Chairman Herman Honanie,

Hopi Council Representatives

Annette Talayumptewa, Norman

Honanie and Bruce Fredericks

and several Hopi program

personnel. Governor Mendoza

briefed Hopi on Gila River’s

tribal organization, structure,

governance and the Executive

Division and its administrative

and

programmatic

implementation.

Governor

Mendoza then introduced some

of his Executive Management

Team

members

present,

including Community Manager

David White and Division

Managers: Kimberly Dutcher,

Nada Celaya and Noel Hoover

and Communications Director

Zuzette Kisto.

Division Managers introduced

themselves and gave brief

overview of their Divisions and

the Departments and Programs

they oversaw. The Community

Manager also explained his role

in providing direct support to the

Executive Office and carrying

out day to day operations

associated with the Tribal

Government and GRIC Districts

and Communities.

The morning was very

informative and interactive with

introductions, presentations and

a question and answer session.

The administrative processes

and successful programmatic

implementations was an area

Hopi was very interested in;

however,

noted

successful

implementations was attributable

to GRIC’s sophisticated and

advanced technology, which

Hopi does not have. The Hopi

delegation repeatedly expressed

they were “impressed” with

what they saw and heard.

Governor Mendoza shared

the

GRIC

2012 Annual

Report stating, “This report

reflects a snapshot of progress

achieved toward the Vision

for the future of the Gila River

Indian Community” which

he and Lieutenant Governor

Stephen Lewis shared with the

Community when they took

office a year ago.

The Governor said it is

important

track

your

work for results and ensure

accomplishments. To track

and measure their initiatives,

they implemented a 100-day

and 1-year Accomplishment

milestones.

During the Session the

Hopi

delegation

received

briefings and tours of the

Executive offices as well as

the Tribal Council Secretary’s

office,

GRIC

Governance

Center and Electronic GRIC

Council Chambers, Police/Fire

Department Tribal Education

Department,

Tribal

Social

Services and Judicial Branch.

On Day two, the Hopi group

was visitors at the regular

monthly meeting of the

Community (Tribal) Council.

The Electronic Council Chamber

was wired with state of the art

technology, allowing Council

to not only access their Council

packets electronically, but to also

cast their votes electronically

for everyone to witness. The

entire Council Meeting was

broadcast and televised to all

the Districts and Service Centers

so community members who

could not make it to the Council

Chamber could still see and hear

what was being discussed in

Council.

In the morning session,

several

Departments

and

Programs gave Reports and

updates on their projects. The

Community Council recognized

and appreciated the work of

all the programs and remained

firm in their expectation of

outcomes, in serving the People.

The focus of the Community

Council during Reports seemed

to be: how are the people being

served by this Program and/or

how will it benefit them. The

Council remained in unison as

they advised program personnel

to ensure all constituents were

fairly served and there was a

positive outcome. Council did

not micromanage, but rather

depended on Program Managers

to ensure smooth operation.

In his address to the Gila River

Community Council, Hopi Vice

Chairman Herman Honanie

expressed his appreciation for

their hosting the Hopi delegation

and agreed with the GRIC

leadership that “we should join

together to support each other’s

efforts. We are all one people

and should encourage fostering

an alliance. We share many

challenges and some of the

same critical issues which we

could work together on.” Both

leaders encouraged this type

of Tribe-to-Tribe initiative and

agreed that Tribes are stronger

and can only benefit on State/

Federal governmental issues if

they are united. The reception

was very positive. (Upon return,

[Note: Female animals go

“into heat” when they are

ready to become pregnant.]

While cycles can vary,

female dogs/cats usually

An intact male will do

just about anything to

to roam, he risks injury

other males. Roaming

HTWCEA Sponsors Conference to Raise Awareness About Sexual Assault

By Crystal Dee

Hopi Tutuveni

The month of April was

Sexual Assault Awareness

month and in honor

of that, the Hopi Tewa

Women’s Coalition to

End Abuse (HTWCEA)

sponsored a conference

on Apr. 17 at the Hopi

Veteran’s

Memorial

Center (HVMC).

The 2013 Sexual Assault

Awareness Conferences’

theme for this year

was, “Weaving a web

of support for victims”.

HTWCEA honored their

theme by inviting guest

speakers

who

work

directly with victims:

Valaura Imus, Victim

Specialist; Pat Schneider,

US Attorney’s Office;

Jill Engel, Hopi Tribe

Chief Prosecutor; Annetta

Koruh, victim of abuse;

and live entertainment by

Ed Kabotie, entertainer/

activist.

Miss Hopi 2012-2013,

Jacqueline Poleahla was

in attendance to speak on

the Declaration of Healing

and also spoke of how

alcohol and substance

abuse

was

directly

related to Sexual Assault

incidences.

Romalita

Laban,

HTWCEA

Executive

Director,

welcomed

everyone

the

conference as she gave

a brief history on the

creation of the HTWCEA

program. The coalition

was established in 2008

under the direction of

Dorma Sahneyah of Tewa.

The HTWCEA board of

directors is President Lisa

Lomavaya, Vice President

Andrea

Joshevama,

Secretary Carey Onsae,

Treasurer

Florence

Choyou, and Member

Betty Sinquah. Dorma

Sahneyah currently serves

as a Member At Large.

The

coalition

nonprofit,

nongovernmental tribal

coalition that provides

advocacy support to tribal

and nontribal government

programs and agencies.

The

coalitions’

mission is to advocate

for a coordinated and

successful

response

system that creates a

safety net to build a

healthy community as

they embrace the strength

of cultural values and

traditions.

Their purpose is to

serve as a forum for

uniting Hopi and Tewa

women in order to provide

safety

and

support,

promote

leadership

development and educate

the public toward a better

understanding of violence

against women.

Their goals is to

collaborate with local

health care agencies,

expand public awareness/

sensitivity and community

agency education, educate

Hopi Tribal leadership

and create a strong,

seamless safety net.

Laban said the coalition

is an indirect service

provider, which means

they do not deal with the

victims directly. They

gather

information,

receive

training

and

provide

technical

assistance to various

programs such as the

Domestic Violence Office,

law enforcement, nurses,

tribal leaders, Behavioral

Health, Guidance Center

and the local schools.

Guest speaker, Valaura

Imus, is a Victim

Specialist for BIA Office

of Justice Services Victims

Assistance Program. She

is a Hopi from the Village

Shungopavi. Imus worked

on the Hopi Reservation

with

the

Domestic

Violence Office for four

years before taking a job at

the federal level. She said

she felt there was more she

could offer to help victims

of abuse and sought to

make a difference at

that level. She is the first

Victim Specialist to work

with DOI Office of Law

Enforcement & Security

and crime victims served

by the Bureau of Indian

Affairs District III. She

has received a Certificate

of Appreciation for her

excellent leadership.

Imus

spoke

Historical Trauma and

what it means to us

as Native Americans.

“Historical trauma is

cumulative emotional and

psychological wounding

over the lifespan and

across

generations,

emanating from massive

group trauma. Native

Americans have, for

over 500 years, endured

physical,

emotional,

social,

and

spiritual

genocide from European

and American colonialist

policy.” (Dr. Maria Yellow

Horse Braveheart, PhD)

This trauma is passed

through each generation

and the exercise she

shared shows that it

falls on the youngest

generation. “There is one

way to end this trauma,”

said Imus, “…we need to

talk about it.”

Annetta Koruh, a Hopi

from the village of Bacavi

is Lizard and Snake Clan.

Koruh considers herself as

an entrepreneur because

she has different titles on

a day to day basis. She is

a mother and then a basket

weaver which was taught

to her by her mother and

grandmother.

Koruh, has a different

outlook on life after what

she has experienced in

her life. At the age of

five years old, Koruh

was abused verbally,

emotionally, physically

and sexually at the hands

of her parents or other

adults. “I was spanked

with belts, hit with beer

bottles

and

sexually

abused”, said Koruh.

She speaks about her

abuse elsewhere, but to

her own people she had

a hard time because she

feared rejection and the

looks from people. She

overcame this fear when

she was told by someone

that, “If you don’t say

anything or do anything,

one more person will be

hurt by this same thing.”

Koruh used illustrations

as her way of connecting

and getting her message

through to the audience

that

had

everyone

speechless. She used

items that we use in our

ceremonies to represent

what she went through

and the process she used

to heal herself. She now

speaks of her experience

at conferences and has

gone overseas to speak. “I

am an unpaid, no degree

counselor,” said Koruh.

She loves what she does

and loves her life as she

has overcome a lot.

As the night ended,

Ed Kabotie played some

songs off his album and

also played some Bob

Marley songs. Kabotie

is from the village of

Shungopavi and the Tewa

Village of Khap’o Owinge.

He was approached by

Romalita Laban when he

was playing at the Legacy

Inn and she felt that his

music fit into the theme

for the conference. His

music uplifted people and

some were dancing.

“I feel that this is

something that we need to

talk about more. Talking

about it is cleansing and

a part of the healing

process,” said Kabotie.

Kabotie created the

poster for the conference.

When asked about the

poster he said he is a

person who rides waves,

so whatever waves come

results were diverse and

gave interesting insights

to what everyone felt they

could create toward a

healthier Hopi community

for our people.

Groups were provided

raw

examination

regarding

how

our

community views itself

in terms of community

problem areas, community

strengths, family issues,

health

issues,

tribal

strengths, tribal troubles,

substance abuse issues,

etc. But through all the

information placed on

the table, every group

was able to highlight the

top three pressing issues

or areas that they felt

our community needs to

improve on. What came

out from the exercise

was a kind of road map

that could help steer our

community in a healtier

direction based on what

the group thought was

most important.

The top 3 highlights

from every group were

written down and hung

up on the walls and

each group’s top 3 had

similarities with other

groups.

Eventually as

all the findings were

divided

into

three

commonality

groups

with one superseding

the rest, in a group all its

own.

The first group was

C O M M U N I C AT I O N ;

this

represented

the

idea of having better

communication

from

person

person,

community to community,

and so forth. But more

specifically this kind of

communication was to

be in the Hopi language,

which served to keep

Hopi culture alive and to

preserve song and prayer.

The second group

was RESPECT; which

represented the idea of

having respect for others

along with yourself in

order to help promote

unity among community

members. Adhering to

Hopi values was also

something that came out

as a means to help keep us

all grounded.

The third group, and

the biggest, was ROLE

MODELING;

which

represented the idea of

not only recognizing Hopi

values, language, and

teachings but also putting

them into action and

practicing them. This idea

is one the groups thought

should be practiced at

Hopi Tewa Women’s Coalition to end abuse BOD, and Ed kabotie.

his way, that’s what he

rides. His inspirations and

motivations come like

waves and he goes with it.

A print of the conference

poster was given to guest

speakers.

Patrick Schneider of the

Assistant U.S. Attorney’s

Office and Jill Engle,

Chief Prosecutor for the

Hopi Tribe shared their

perspectives on Sexual

Assault through the eyes

of someone who works

for the law. They deal

with victims by assisting

them

prosecuting

the individual who has

committed sexual assault.

Engel works with the local

BIA law enforcement

and helps prepare cases

against the perpetrators.

Schneider works at the

federal level and assists

with some cases on the

Hopi Reservation.

Laban

was

overwhelmed with all

the support they received

from volunteer who made

the conference possible.

“The amount of support

we received today touched

us as an organization, and

I want to thank the Hopi

and Tewa People,” said

Laban.

“Seeing this conference

come to fruition was very

fulfilling.”

Others who were a part

of the conference were

Randall Mahle, Tewa

Community Member who

said the opening prayer,

Community

Member,

closing prayer.

each individual’s level.

Hopi encompasses vast

layers to which not

everyone is equal based

on your own individual

knowledge. This group

was essentially reiterating

the time old phrase, “Be

the change you want to

see in the world.”

And lastly the fourth

group that everyone felt

was a comprehensive

link between the three

previous groups was

LOVE. Love for yourself

and love for others was

the subtitle given to

this “group”. This is a

powerful concept on so

many levels. It shows

that participants felt that

love is one thing that can

help create a healthier

community for our Hopi

People.

This concept of love

has many interpretations

but it is clear that for a

handful of 60 individuals

that work and live on

the reservation, love

is strand that can help

our community learn to

COMMUNICATE better,

show and give RESPECT,

and help people become

ROLE MODELS.

In closing, we as

Cultivating Wellness felt

that this information was

too precious to keep to

ourselves. We feel that

it would be best to share

this information with the

rest of the community, as

well as to remind those

that attended of the words

they shared.

Talking

about our community

disparities is not an easy

conversation. Susan and I

from Cultivating Wellness

would like to thank all

for participating wholeheartedly and making

the exercise a fun. We

hope that you all learned

as much from each other

as we did from you all.

And we hope that this

kind of conversation and

teachings can stay alive

in every home at every

table because food brings

people together.

Orville Wadsworth, Last Hopi Code Talker To Be Recognized

By Crystal Dee

Hopi Tutuveni

Orville

Wadsworth

was from the village of

Shungopavi and belonged

to the bear clan. He died

in 1970 at the age of

49, leaving behind his

wife, Velma Wadsworth

and their four children;

Elizabeth, Elson, Danford

and Maxine. His children

knew him as a father,

husband,

mechanic,

farmer and a religious

leader. But little did they

know that he played an

important role in the

history of World War II

as code.

October

2012,

Orville was identified as

the 10th Hopi Code Talker

who was assigned to the

90th Bombardment Group.

He was selected and

trained as part of a secret

Native American Code

Talker communications

network to transmit secret

coded messages using

his Hopi Lavayii in the

Pacific campaign with the

Fifth Bomber Command,

Fifth Air Force, and

United States Army Air

Force.

Maxine,

Orville’s

daughter, was working

for the Hopi Tutuveni

as a Reporter when

she was trying to help

Rex Pooyouma receive

recognition as a Hopi

Code Talker.

“He told me he was

Code Talker but didn’t

have the documents to

prove it because they

destroyed during a roof

leak,” said Maxine.

She asked Eugene

“Geno” Talas of the

Hopi Veteran’s Office

for assistance in finding

documents for Rex while

she continued to interview

him.

“While

interviewing

Rex, he told me that

he served with another

Hopi. He said, you may

know him, his name is

Orville Wadsworth,” said

Maxine, “I just froze and

got numb because that

was my father.” She had

no idea that her father was

a Hopi Code Talker.

From there a series of

events occurred as if this

were meant to happen.

Orville lived with his

sister, Flora Mae when

he died. His daughter

remembered he always

had a metal tin that he

kept by his side. She

never knew what the

contents were until it was

recovered by LeeWayne

Lomayestewa in his

mother’s burnt down piki

house where it was stored

after he had passed. What

he discovered in the metal

tin lead to the missing

piece of the puzzle. Inside

was a document, not just

any document, but a V

Bomber Command that

was marked “SECRET”.

This is what is stated in

the Hopi Tribal Council

Resolution, H-024-2011,

“WHEREAS, later in

October 2010, the Director

of the Hopi Veterans

Services was provided

with compelling military

documentation citing Mr.

Orville Wadsworth as a

candidate for Hopi Code

Talker status and his name

was submitted to the U.S.

Army Center of Military

Studies for validation and

shortly after Veteran’s

Day 2010, Mr. Wadsworth

was confirmed as the tenth

Hopi Code Talker.”

“My father was a good

father and husband. He

never scolded us, but he

would play games with

us that would teach us

lessons. He was also a

jokester,” said Maxine

of her father. “My father

named

brother

Danford after an Apache

man by the name of

Nelson Danford who

served alongside him.”

The document that was

found by LeeWayne has

validated Code Talkers

for other Native American

tribes like, White Mt.

Apache and Acoma.

day to get gas and noticed

the very unique hand rail

Gibbs was fabricating

around the property,” said

Curtis Casey, chair of the

NPC welding program. “I

was very impressed with

the workmanship and

aesthetics of the project,

so I hung around until he

took a break. After talking

about his background and

discussing his fabrication

techniques, I invited him

to apply to teach welding

at NPC and the rest is

history.”

Dike has been with

NPC since 2004 and

has taught hundreds of

students. “I would invite

anyone interested in metal

fabrication to register

for his class to pick up

some of the tricks he has

learned over the decades,”

encouraged Casey.

First Mesa Baptist Church, Celebration of Life Ceremony

By Louella Nahsonhoya

Hopi Tutuveni

On Apr. 29, a Celebration of Life

Ceremony was held in Polacca, to

commemorate 109 years of the old First

Mesa Baptist Church Sanctuary. Due to

deterioration and the unsafe conditions

of the building, plans have been made to

replace the sanctuary.

Church members, as well as members

of the Community, joined in the

Ceremony to share their memories and

remembrances of the old sanctuary.

Dickson Silas, spokesman for James

Tewayguna, Kikmongwi of First Mesa

attended on behalf of the Kikmongwi and

delivered a heartfelt message.

Silas addressed attendees and members

of the congregation, with reverence, as he

encouraged the Pastor, church leadership

and members of the church to continue

with their mission work. At one point,

he became emotional as he reminisced

on his youth and the influences by some

of the early Christians. In his message

to the Christian community, Silas told

the group that the Kikmongwi wanted

to attend the Event but was unable to,

due to other cultural responsibilities. He

assured the group that the Kikmongwi

and the traditional leadership, supports

and respects the mission work at FMBC

and continues to pray for their health,

wellbeing and longevity of life. The

Kikmongwi considers all his children

and wants only what is best for them

and supports their beliefs and choice

of worship in the Christian way. Silas

shared blessings on behalf of the

Kikmongwi and himself as construction

work proceeds to dismantle the old

building and construct a new sanctuary.

He told the attendees that although

FMBC originally had 10 acres of land,

there were several families, including

AZ State highway 264, that encroached

on their assigned land. Without protest,

the church leadership relinquished their

property for the livelihood of families.

A new land assignment for FMBC was

signed and documented in 2010.

The program included Hopi hymnals

being sung by congregation members and

Reverend Taeil Lim, Senior Pastor of the

First Mesa Baptist Church, shared a short

sermon on the purpose of a worship place

and the future Plans for the community

and the Baptist Church. Bruce Shipul,

a Pastor at Palm West Community

Church in Sun City, Arizona and liaison

to Native American Churches through

Transformation Ministries, also attended

the Ceremony and expressed his support

and encouragement. Shipul concluded the

formal ceremony with the Benediction,

through a Song.

After the Ceremony, several individuals

and families shared their memories and

times in the old church. “We have many

good memories of the old church”, said

Louella Nahsonhoya a member of the

church. “Many baptisms, weddings,

celebrations and funerals took place

here. Most memorable are community

Christmas programs where all Villagers

would come to participate and receive

Christmas gifts, candy/fruit bags and

food. That was a real Big Event!”

Others reflected on the impact by the

older Christians and even remembered

where each one sat in the pews. Several

others talked about “the bell” which was

rung several times before each church

service. “The Bell” is located in the

steeple of the old church and has a long

rope which hangs into the entrance way.

Children would arrive early for a chance

to ring “the bell”. They would jump up to

grab the rope, pull down on it and it would

take them up and bring them back down

again…up and down, up and down.”

Afterward a Big Meal was served to

celebrate the occasion. The day before

the ceremony, church women gathered

and baked fresh bread and pies in the

traditional outside bread oven. They also

made fresh noqkwivi and somiviki for a

traditional Hopi Meal. Since Pastor Taeil

Lim is Korean, a Korean mission team

from California also arrived the night

before to prepare a Korean meal. The

meal was delicious with traditional Hopi

food and Korean food which included

Korean barbeque beef ribs and other

tasty dishes. The ceremony was quite and

event for everyone who attended.

Construction work to dismantle the

building began the next day by local

volunteers and is steadily progressing.

The basketball court, playground area,

wi-fi sites and picnic tables are still open

to the community, except for the portion

fenced off by the orange construction

fence.

The Baptist Church extends its greatest

appreciation to the Kikmongwi, the

Traditional Leadership of First Mesa

and the First Mesa Consolidated Village

Administration for their support and

encouragement of the mission work

at FMBC. The First Mesa Village

Administration providing cases of water,

tables and chairs for the event.

“This was truly a community effort and

we thank everyone who was involved”,

said Louella Nahsonhoya. “We thank

the men who volunteer their time on

the construction project and also a big

thank you to the women who provide a

Hot Meal each day for the construction

crew!”

The old First Mesa Baptist Church stood for well over 100 years. Many church members were very sad to

know it will be demolished.

Sr. Pastor Taeil Lim delivered a strong message of remembrance of the church’s history while reinforcing

positivity in looking toward the future.

The church congretation gathered together to sing songs translated into the Hopi language.

seemed to be very small,

compared to the amount of

recycled items collected.

The Recycling Project

went from Oct. 2012,

to April 2013 and was

noticeably big. NJHS

students collected 10 bags

of cans,34 bags of plastic,

and 96 bags of paper (60

gallons per bag). This

If so, you are invited to participate in the Hopi HPV Prevention Project.

About the Project

Cervical cancer is the most preventable cancer in women. HPV is a virus that increases your

risk for cervical cancer. To help more women get screened for cervical cancer, H.O.P.I

Cancer Support Services is partnering with the University of Washington to offer a test to

check for HPV in the privacy of your home. This test is available for a limited time as part of

a project to improve cervical cancer prevention in Hopi and Tewa women. The in-‐home HPV

test doesn’t replace the Pap test, but it may give you more information about your risk for

cervical cancer. Participants who complete the test will receive a $40 gift card.

If you would like to participate or want to know more about the project, please contact the

Hopi HPV Prevention Project staff, Olivia Dennis or Lorene Vicente, at (928) 723-‐1151 or by
