Healing on Hopi During September’s

National Recovery Month 2023

By: Romalita Laban, Managing Editor HT

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – September 26, 2023

during National Suicide Prevention Awareness and

National Recovery Month a gathering, hosted by

Hopi Behavioral Services at the Peace Academy in

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. brought Hopi Tribal Leadership,

local Hopi tribal members, Hopi School students

and visitors together.

The event began at 11:00 a.m. MST with a

packed agenda up through the evening when event

color run.

The event hosted Recovery Speakers, Presentations, Interactive activites, Resource Booths, Food

Vendors, Arts and Crafts Vendors and plenty of

sunshine, smiles and encouraging messages for

those seeking sobriety, in recovery and support-

ing those who are living life with the intention of

well-briety after having challenged with living

through the Covid pandemic.

Topics raised during presentations included;

Goal setting, fellowship, recovery, various definitions of success in work, marriage and raising

children.

Attendees were reminded about positive behavioral changes which can be incorporated whether

one is sober or not.

Attendees were also reminded that Hopi principles of living, such as; Sumi’nangwa, hita’nangwa,

kyaptsi are essential when caring for one’s sobriety, which can be so very fragile. Speakers reminded attendees about the importance of unconditional

support for those seeking sobriety and recovery

rather than “bashing” them for their choices.

Shungopavi, Ariz. – September 20, 2023 It was a perfect, Hopi dawn-break morning

complete with a rooster crowing somewhere in the background of Shungopavi village

on September 3rd to begin the much anticipated 50th Anniversary Louis Tewanima

Footrace.

The Louis Tewanima Footrace is held annually at Shungopavi village to honor Hopi

tribal member Louis “Tsokahovi” Tewanima, a genuine United States Olympic Silver

medalist who in 1912 at Stockholm, Sweden brought home the Silver medal for setting

a US Olympic record by running the 10,000m besting other runners earning acclaim

at the highest sport level.

Tewanima had already represented the United States in 1908 Olympic trials in London, England but it wasn’t until he ran against a fellow Carlisle school team mate and

fellow Native, a Sac and Fox tribal member Jim Thorpe in 1912 that Tewanima set this

record.

Tewanima’s record was not to be broken for an impressive 50 years before it was

broken by another Native, Billy Mills in 1964.

It is because of this major sport accomplishment that Tewanima’s Shungopavi family decided to honor their family member and in 1973, they formed a group, now the

Louis Tewanima Foundation that sponsors this annual running event every Labor Day.

This year there was a record number of entrants for both 5K and 10K in both men

and women’s categories at the Louis Tewanima Footrace.

Hopis revere running.

It’s a highly respected activity that accompanies both cultural and religious Hopi

life.

Hopis run in competition during Basket Dances and in competition with other villages for Hopi art traditional prizes.

Hopis also ran to deliver messages all the way from the New Mexico pueblo villages in relay type runs during the Pueblo Revolt when New Mexico pueblo villages and

Hopi were under attack from Spanish marauders.

Hopis also run to send prayers for much needed moisture and rain for their crops

and their people’s livlehood.

It is with these thoughts of Tewanima’s historic Olympic win and his return to his

homeland back to his humble farming and religious village life that his family wanted

to honor the Hopi tradition of running.

Native and Non-Native runners came from near and far to compete this year with

one runner, Amanda Cheromiah from Anchorage, Alaska coming the furthest to compete. Cheromiah was gifted a special miniature Hopi sifter basket by the Tewanima

Foundation members. The tiny sifter basket was to be given to the runner who came

the furthest to be at Shungopavi event and was gifted this prize during the awards

ceremony on Sunday morning.

Special features at this year’s footrace event, included a life size photo cut out of

Tewanima during his 1912 win which was set up at the softball field, so runners and

visitors could take a “selfie” with the cutout. The cutout was gifted to the Tewanima

Foundation by Bill Crawford, an established American writer who is currently working on the new TEWANIMA book of historical fiction which is due out next March

2024. Crawford lives in Monterey, Mexico and flew out to support Ron and Madelyn

Milford and the entire Tewanima Foundation members during this special event.

Television news cameras from both Channel 3 and Channel 5 were also on hand to

capture the race, its runners and also shots of the mesa edge and attending crowd.

Current 2022-23 Tewanima Board President Ron Milford was extremely pleased

with the overall events success as this year there were quite a few new entrants.

“After Covid, we had to hold the event virtually and that isn’t just quite the same as

having the race in person and having a huge community crowd of family, friends, relatives, and the interested running community here at the mesa top was pretty exciting.

I hope that this running competition will remain strong and continue with the new

officers elected for 2023-24.”

Outgoing Tewanima Foundation officers are Ron Milford-President, Jaynas SaufkieVice President, Marnette Quanimtewa-Treasurer, Madelyn Milford- Secretary.

HOPI H.E.O.C UPDATES

Hopi Tutuveni October 4, 2023

Hopi Tribe Department of Health and Human Services

Covid-19 Emergency Response -Re-publication

Submitted by: Joyce Hamilton, Director - DHHS

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. - June 2023 marks one year for the Hopi Tribe Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for occupancy of office space at the newly developed

Turquoise Well Government complex. You may be asking yourself; “Where is the Turquoise Well government complex?” “What is the Turquoise Well Government complex?”

The Turquoise Well Government complex is the newly developed area on Hopi lands for Hopi Tribal offices which is located 15 miles northeast of the Hopi Cultural Center.

The complex was developed in response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency for Tribal programs. DHHS Administration, Public Health Compliance and the Small Animal Control program have been working at the Turquoise Well complex since June 2022. In January 2023 the staff had to resort to teleworking due to mechanical failure of the

generator which provides electrical power for day-to-day operations. DHHS Administration, Public Health Compliance and the Small Animal Control, are some of the programs

affected however the staff of the programs continue to provide services, such as the recent Food Handler’s class held in the village of Bacavi and the tick prevention event. The

DHHS Department Director can be reached via e-mail at Jhamilton@hopi.nsn.us or (928)207-6481.

Hopi Executive Order No. 002-2022 issued on March 3, 2022 continues to remain in place until such time the Hopi Tribal Leadership determines to lift the Executive Order.

Data from the Hopi Health Care Center and surrounding health care facilities showcase a significant reduction in positive COVID-19 cases and data continues to be monitored

and assessed.

Public Health Authority, Dr. Darren Vicenti, has been working in consultation with Tribal Leadership and local health centers in regards to COVID-19 cases and has determined

that the number of positive cases remain low and will be defining next steps for data sharing.

Various sources of literature predicted that the COVID-19 virus will become endemic over time; what does that mean? An Endemic Disease means that the virus will continue

to be present in a population or region with a relatively low spread OR there may be periods when it doesn’t affect people at all.

The straightforward message to the community is to seek medical advice from your local medical provider for proper care and guidance to avoid further spread to family members if you feel symptoms. The recommended public health practice is to continue with proper hand hygiene, staying home when feeling ill and most importantly get vaccinated.

Hopi Executive Order No. 002-2022 language indicates the following:

1. It is recommended that everyone ages 5-years and older get a complete serious of the COVID-19 vaccine (mandatory for tribal government employees).

2. Face covering use shall be required inside all public facilities and buildings, and certain common areas. (lifted Hopi Executive Order No. 001-2023)

3. The Hopi Law Enforcement Services and health professionals, including community workers will coordinate with village leaders and village security officers to allow for

welfare checks and other health-related contacts.

The Hopi Community Health Services (CHR) program continues to make available COVID-19 home test kits. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hand sanitizers,

face masks and sanitary wipes are limited and will be issued if supplies are available. Contact the Hopi CHR program at (928)737-6342 if you have questions.

Hopi Heals in September National “Recovery Month”

By: Bernadean Kachinhongva, HSAPC Mentor

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. - September 29, 2023 The month of September is National

“Recovery Month.” The HOPI Substance Abuse Prevention Center (HSAPC) looks

forward to this month each year. It’s a time to celebrate an individual and the community’s personal growth in recovery. The month-long recognition is designed to educate

people on issues surrounding mental health, substance use disorders, chronic illnesses

and other ailments. It’s also meant to provide support to family members, friends; who

support and love those in recovery from substance abuse and/or behavioral addiction

disorders.

National “Recovery Month” started in 1989 under the name “Treatment Works!” It

was intended as a way to honor the work of addiction professionals, therapists, physicians, nurses, mental health professionals, drug/recovery counselors, rehabilitation

staff, etc., who work in those areas. It is observed in the United States promoting and

supporting new, evidence-based recovery and treatment modalities and HSAPC encourages those in need to start and continue recovery. Everyone’s journey is different,

and we are all in this together.

The HOPI Substance Abuse Prevention Center celebrated recovery month by hosting

several events throughout September 2023. We started with A Fall Planting event on

Friday September 1, 2023. Next up was an annual Highway Clean-Up event on Friday

September 8, 2023. Thereafter, we joined a collaborative Hopi National Recovery &

Suicide Prevention Month Celebration (a fun run/walk in the evening) event with Hopi

Behavioral Health Services on Tuesday September 26, 2023 at the Peace Academic

Center (old Mission School) in Kykotsmovi, Ariz. The finale event “Hand-drum Recovery Celebration” event was held on Friday September 29, 2023 at the KUYI parking

lot area in Second Mesa, Ariz. HSAPC alsowill also held a fundraising food sale during

the event. All HSAPC events welcomed volunteers, and are drug/substance free. As a

grant recipient of the Arizona’s Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family’s - Trauma Informed Substance Abuse Prevention Program (funds provided through SAMHSA), the HSAPC staff receive trauma informed care training and utilize strategies in

our services. HSAPC mentors help individuals work through their physical, mental,

emotional and spiritual healing journey. “We believe in honoring ourselves by living an

honest, sober, balanced life.” Healing begins with you!

HSAPC mentors provide one to

one mentoring services for youth

and adults, group classes, community presentations, supportive

programs for local schools, and cognitive restructuring for a positive

recovery journey. As a non-profit

organization HSAPC services are

free of charge. We encourage all

who are in their recovery journey to

take it one day at a time; sometimes

it’s one moment at a time. If you feel

comfortable reaching out to HSAPC

mentors, call 928-734-0300.

You can also call Hopi Behavioral

Health Services at 928-737-6300

to schedule an appointment, or
