(Phoenix, Ariz.) - Tribal

Chairman Tim Nuvangyaoma, Vice Chairman Clark

Tenakhongva and the United

Mine Workers of America

traveled to the Central Arizona Project (CAP) headquarters in Phoenix on May

3, 2018 and demanded that

the CAP Board begin negotiations on a power agreement

with investors that are evaluating an ownership position

in the Navajo Generating

Station (NGS) to operate the

plant long-term.

The delegation – led by

both Nuvangyaoma and

Tenakhongva with United

Mine Workers Local 1924

President Marie Justice –

asked the CAP Board to support the ownership transition

by coming to the table to talk

with potential NGS investors

who indicate they believe

they can meet all of CAP’s

power needs as the most

cost-competitive and reliable

provider of power.

“The Hopi people agreed

to offer our natural resources

to the Navajo Generating Station and the Central Arizona

Project for the prosperity of

Arizona based on assurances

that we would receive sustaining revenues for the useful life of the mine and power

plant over 70 years,” said Nuvangyaoma.

“Once again we are asking

the CAP board to set aside

proposals to purchase nonNGS power and come to the

table in good faith. At risk

are 85 percent of the Hopi’s

annual revenues and 350

Hopi tribal jobs that support essential school, police,

health care and veteran services across our villages.”

Nuvangyaoma has garnered a lot of support with

this message and even traveled to Washington D.C. in

April of this year to testify

before Congress.

New potential owners of

NGS have been identified

and a bill passed by Arizona

Governor Doug Ducey provides tax incentives to make

the deal more appealing to

investors.

Nuvangyaoma,

Tenakhongva and Justice presented

the CAP Board with nearly

5,500 petitions the “Yes to

NGS” coalition was able to

gather online from Arizona

residents who are asking the

board to honor its obligation

to take long-term power from

NGS and fulfill its obligation

to the tribes and taxpayers.

“There is tremendous momentum toward new ownership that will protect thousands of jobs, hundreds of

millions of dollars in annual

economic benefits and keep

families together on tribal

lands,” said Justice.

While all this progress

sounds promising, there are

still tribal community members who want to use this

as an opportunity to look to

economic development projects that promote renewable

resources like wind and solar

energy. Others think developing new revenue streams that

fall in line with traditional

teachings and the Hopi way

of life, like promoting more

tribal tourism, would be a

better way to go.

NGS was commissioned to

run 70 years through 2044 and

adds reliability and resilience

to the electric grid at a time

when natural gas prices are

fluctuating. Premature shut

down of NGS would spark

higher power prices, electric reliability concerns and

higher water rates, according

to studies. It is unclear at this

time what the chairman will

do if he is unable to persuade

the CAP Board to negotiate

with potential new owners.

“This is a clear-cut case

Community Building

Nation Council Delegate

Davis Filfred. “Secretary

Zinke says that rescinding

and replacing Bears Ears

is not about extracting oil

and gas or uranium, but

these records clearly show

otherwise. The Interior

Department asked their

local offices to show them

where the minerals might

be; then they cut those

areas out of the shrunken Bears Ears monument.

It’s unfortunate that tribes

were not given the same

level of access and deference afforded the state.”

“This evidence shows

the Trump administration’s disrespect of their

trust responsibility to our

tribal nations, their utter

dismissal of our government-to-government relationship, and their serious

disregard for our cultural

patrimony,” said Clark

Tenakhongva, Vice-Chairman of the Hopi Tribe.

“These documents detail

officials and the Trump

Nations sought, but did

and a four-hour follow-up

Ute Mountain Ute Tribal

Chairman Harold Cuthair.

“We asked them to leave

the monument alone, but

you can see who they really listened to – those who

want Bears Ears gone.”

“This disturbing information was not voluntarily

released by the Department of Interior, but only

was disclosed to the public

after a lawsuit under the

Freedom of Information

Act was filed,” said Carleton Bowekaty, Pueblo of

Zuni Councilman. “They

should be ashamed of what

has been exposed.” Bears

Ears has been home to Hopi,

Navajo, Ute, Ute Mountain

Ute, and Zuni people since

time immemorial. Bears Ears

National Monument was designated in 2016 to protect

countless

archaeological,

cultural, and natural resources. The monument is also a

celebration of Tribal voices,

cultures, and sacred sites, all

containing timeless volumes

of Tribal knowledge that we

want to see protected for our

Tribal communities and for

all of America.

Hontsomovaqe kuktota –

Making foot prints through

Bears Ears

The Bears Ears National Monument is a spiritually

occupied landscape, known

to the Hopi People as Hont-

somo. It is a landscape that

stands as a testament of Hopi

stewardship through thousands of years, manifested by

the “footprints” of ancient villages, sacred springs, migration routes, pilgrimage trails,

artifacts, petroglyphs, and the

physical remains of buried

Hisatsinom, the “People of

Long Ago.”

Guest Editorial by

Clark Tenakhongva,

Hopi Vice-Chairman

For more than a decade the

Hopi Tribe worked in cooperation with the Zuni, Ute, Ute

Mountain Ute, and Navajo

Tribes contributing significant

resources, time and support

toward the diligent study of

parcels of land in southeastern

Utah that ultimately resulted

in the creation of the Bears

Ears National Monument

through the proclamation of

President Barack Obama on

December 28, 2016.

Exercising his authority

under the Antiquities Act,

President Obama established

the Bears Ears National

Monument within the state

of Utah, reserving approximately 1.35 million acres

of federal lands for the care

and management of “objects

of historic and scientific interest,” that were identified

by environmental experts,

scientists and tribal mem-

bers. Hence, the Bears Ears

National Monument exists as

a celebration of tribal voices

by establishing an Inter-tribal Coalition that afforded the

Hopi, Zuni Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and Navajo Tribes

stakeholder-decision-making

authority in the management

and protection of sacred sites

and cultural resources within

the designated boundaries of

the monument.

It is my belief that the

designation of the monument

and the establishment of this

Inter-tribal Coalition was a

progressive and meaningful

step toward prioritizing the

protection of cultural resources, while also allowing for

flexibility in the management

of traditional Native American uses, including wood,

plant, and medicinal plant

harvesting, hunting, and pilgrimaging to ancestral sites

and shrines.

Unfortunately, in a proclamation dated December 4,

2017 made by current president, Donald Trump, the

boundaries of the Bears Ears

National Monument were reduced by 85%, from 1.35 million acres to a mere 201,876

acres, effectively revoking,

replacing and dismantling the

Bears Ears National Monument. The President’s cited..

Tribe Condemns Trump Administration’s Motives for Repealing Bears Ears, cont.

...reasons for revoking, replacing and dismantling the

Bears Ears National Monument were attributed to the

specific language of the Antiquities Act itself, namely that

“any reservation of land as

part of a monument [should]

be confined to the smallest

area compatible with the proper care and management of the

objects of historic or scientific

interest.” Evidently, the President deemed the preexisting

monument boundaries not

to be confined to the smallest area compatible with the

proper care and management

of those objects within, proclaiming “the important object

of scientific or historic interest

could instead be protected by

a smaller and more appropriate reservation of two areas:

Shash Jáa and Indian Creek,”

President Trump further stated

that “revising the boundaries of the monument to cover

these two areas [would] ensure that in accordance with

the Antiquities Act, [the re-

serves of land were] no larger

than necessary for the proper

care and management of the

objects to be protected within

the monument.

However, it should be noted that the nonprofit grassroots Utah Navajo Organization, Utah Diné Bikéyah,

which did much of the on-theground work for the Inter-tribal Coalition and conducted an

extensive ethnographic study,

documenting the vast array of

historic landmarks and other

objects of cultural and scientific significance to our Tribal

Nations and ancestors within

the monument, showed that in

fact, 1.9 million acres within

southern Utah was indeed the

smallest area compatible with

the proper care and management of the objects to be protected, and it was this study

that served as one of the bases

for establishing the preexisting monument boundaries.

Furthermore, on March 2,

2018 the New York Times

reported on a trove of doc-

uments released on the process leading up to President

Trump’s December 2017

presidential

proclamation,

which purported to overturn

President Obama’s creation of

the Bears Ears national monument in Southeastern Utah.

These documents showed active coordination between the

state of Utah, the Department

of Interior and others in the

Trump Administration to open

up the Bears Ears National

Monument lands to oil, gas

and uranium development.

This evidence showed the

Trump administration’s disrespect of their trust responsibility to our tribal nations

and their utter disregard of our

government-to-government

relationship. Despite my testimony in opposition to bill

H.R. 4532, known as the Cutis

bill, which sought to codify

President Trump’s proclamation legislatively, before the

U.S. House of Representatives committee on Natural

Resources—Subcommittee

on Federal Lands on January

30, 2018, it seems the idea

of conserving and preserving

a spiritually occupied landscape is incompatible with the

western concept of land, for in

the western world view, land

is regarded as a commodity.

But, for the Hopi people, such

a landscape is regarded as a

community to which we belong, and as such, with regards

to the area known as Hontsomo there are no unimportant

areas. To remove any part of

the Bears Ears National Monument from protection is to

necessarily damage cultural,

spiritual, archaeological and/

or paleontological sites of paramount significance.

Naturally we may never

achieve a completely harmonious solution to protecting

our sacred lands any more

than we may achieve absolute

justice or liberty for people,

but in these higher aspirations

the important thing is not to

achieve, but to strive.

4 TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2018 | HOPI TUTUVENI

Earth Day on the Hopi Reservation!

Jenifier Himel “Sa Povi“

Tewa Community

This land we have borrowed is like a beautiful

piece of art formed by

forces beyond our complete understanding. Hopi

mesas are pillars of resilience, standing tall for

eons in a desert, providing

nourishment for our people for millennia. Just like

a prizewinning sculpture

in the Heard Museum, our

mesas need to be treated

with care. This is the story

of a community ready to

make a caring change.

From the village of

Tewa at First Mesa, the

Nuvayestewa family has

sponsored a small village

clean-up for the past three

years which usually includes the village area, the

plaza, homes and sheds.

The effort alone results

in a collection of a lot of

trash and waste management is a real concern

on the Hopi reservation.

While the Tribe has a trash

collection service, there is

no public entity to collect

bulk trash or separate recyclable materials. For some,

paying for trash pick-up or

hauling away large items

is not viable and eventu-

ally a lot of the trash ends

up being thrown off the

side of the mesa or secretly

dumped into the surrounding washes. Still, environmental supporters like the

Nuvayestewa family have

stayed hopeful that the day

would come to challenge

any naysayers of clean-up

efforts by quietly planning

an effort to restore the

beauty of the place we live

and love.

On a breezy Sunday

morning, April 22nd,

also known as Earth Day,

about two hundred volunteers ascended the top

of First Mesa to collect

trash. These volunteers

came from the First Mesa

villages as well as other

surrounding villages. Volunteers saw this “coming

together” as Sumi’nangwa

- a Hopi principle of coming together in aid. Beginning at seven am, volunteers on top and below

the mesa picked up trash.

Hopi Ancestral Lands Program set up a zip-line used

to descend the hundreds of

filled trash bags and burlap

sacks below the mesa to

the road behind and be-

low Tewa village. Volunteers lined up their trucks

and trailers for hauling

the trash transported via

the zip-line. The trash was

hauled to a collection area

near the Tewa Community

Administrative Office in

lower Polacca where more

volunteers were sorting

and washing glass, aluminum, paper, and plastic to

be taken to Flagstaff for recycling. Back on the mesa,

volunteers loaded horse

trailers and flat beds with

bulk items such as televisions, couches, mattresses,

and more. By the end of

the day at four o’clock, a

metric ton trash container

had been filled to the brim.

Besides hauling and organizing challenges, organizers of the clean-up dealt

with apathy from some

community members. In

an interview with Lori

Nuvayestewa, she named

a few other challenging

issues such as difficulty

in seeking resources from

Tribal Government due to

the lack of capacity. Lori

repeated the words of her

grandfather, Leon Nuvayestewa Sr., “Nothing is

Kyrsten Sinema Visit’s Hopi

Angela Gonzalas

Hopi Tutuveni

This week, Arizona Congresswomen

Kyrsten Sinema visited the Hopi Tribe to

meet with council members and veterans

to discuss the challenges and opportunities the community faces, particularly

around health care, jobs, law enforcement, and support for local veterans.

“It was an honor to join the Hopi

community this week,” said Sinema.

“I look forward to continuing to work

hand-in-hand with Hopi leaders to serve

the veterans, families, and all members

of the Hopi Tribe.”

As a Congresswomen, she worked

across the aisle with Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs to pass the AMBER

Alert in Indian Country Act. The law

gives tribes the resources they need to

utilize the AMBER Alert system in the

event a child is abducted.

independent voice for Arizona.

Kyrsten is committed to working

together to get things done for the Hopi

community. That means creating jobs,

ensuring access to quality education,

and making sure community health centers and veterans service providers have

the resources to ensure all members of

the Hopi Tribe can access the quality

care they deserve.

getting done about it. It’s

been years and years. If

nobody is going to do it,

I’ll do it.” They sought out

donations, free marketing,

aid from the community

and a long list of possible

donors. Local businesses,

organizations, and partners

such as; Ancestral Lands

Hopi, Hopi Telecommunications, Inc., Tewa Village, Sichomovi Village,

Walpi Village, First Mesa

Consolidated

Villages,

Hopi Tribe Department of

Public Safety and Emergency Services, Rezcycling, APS, and KUYI

88.1 FM contributed resources and their expertise,

to assist in the effort. Lori

described this effort as a

traditional Hopi concept of

being a part of something

good without being asked

or being recognized.

Although the clean-up

was completed there are

still more hurdles to get

over, the bulk trash at the

collection area that could

not fit into the metric ton

trash container still needs

to be hauled away. This

trash will be hauled by

Leon Nuvayestewa and

volunteers to the Hopi

transfer station for proper disposal however the

cost is not totally covered.

Local residents had to be

reminded and asked to refrain from bringing any

more trash to this site as

they were still adding to

the pile after the event was

over.

In addition to challenges, restoration of the

mesa was at the forefront

of the volunteers minds.

While much of the trash

embedded into the sides

of the mesa was preventing erosion, it was also

preventing natural vegetation from growing. Enter

the Ancestral Lands Hopi

Program who offered to

assist with restoration by

planting seed balls into the

area where the trash was

removed to begin revegetation and develop erosion

control systems as a natural way to prevent erosion. In one day, with the

combined efforts of volunteers, the top of First Mesa

Village and the backside

of Tewa were cleaned

but was only a portion of

First Mesa. Many more

clean-ups will be needed

to remove all the trash and

plans for this have already

begun for the fall.

With the Inaugural Earth

Day clean-up finished, organizers of the First Mesa

Inaugural Clean Up provided reminders about the

care for the place we have

borrowed by emphasizing

that the Hopi people are

notorious for understanding respect for the Earth,

now let us act upon it by

being conscious of consumption, disposable, and

reporting illegal dumping

to the Hopi Law Enforcement. Creating dialogue

with leaders and those

who are create ordinances,

provide resources and approve the use of resources

can be a positive direction

in becoming a part of the

solution rather than blaming. If we all make a few

changes to our lifestyle,

we may enjoy the beauty

of the landscape art, Creator made for us to live on.

Hopi Tribal Council Intercedes Against Hopi Jr./Sr. High

School and Second Mesa Day School

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hopi Tribe

KYKOTSMOVI, AZ – After

the receipt of several letters from

members of the Hopi community, expressing concern regarding

the conduct and performance

of the Hopi Jr./Sr. High School

faculty, Governing Board and

administration, the Hopi Tribal

Council voted to place the Hopi

Jr./Sr. High School Governing

Board under an investigative review.

Following the provisions set

forth in resolution H-040-2018,

which was passed by majority vote on April 24th, 2018,

the Hopi Health and Education

Committee (H & E) was granted the authority to review any

school board policies, fiscal documents and school board decisions of any Hopi Tribally-Controlled school.

Furthermore,

as per the resolution, if there is

evidence that the local governing board has acted contrary to

appropriate policies, regulations,

or statutes the Hopi Health and

Education Committee additionally, has the authority to intercede and take appropriate action

to resolve any issues uncovered

during the review.

As all Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) funded schools

on the Hopi reservation have

transitioned from BIE operated

schools to tribally-controlled

schools, this marks the second

instance in which the Hopi Tribal Council felt it was their collective responsibility as a fiduciary of any tribally-controlled

school to intercede and resolve

issues regarding the management and conduct of an educa-

tional establishment. The first

instance being the creation of

an interim school board by the

Hopi Tribal Council to oversee

the operations of Second Mesa

Day School (SMDS).

The circumstances that precipitated the March 27th action

against SMDS were expounded

upon in Resolution H-041-2018,

which stated that “…as the Hopi

Tribal Council serves as grantee of Second Mesa Day school

(SMDS) a tribally-controlled

school under P.L. 100-297 and

whereas the SMDS was required

to report on a yearly basis to the

Hopi Tribal Council, yet no reports have occurred within recent

years, and pursuant to the receipt

of a letter of concern from the

Mishongnovi Village Board of

Directors on March 9th”, which

provided substantial enough reason to intercede, the Hopi Tribal Council resolved to create an

Interim School Board to oversee

the operations of Second Mesa

Day School. The resolution

waived all SMDS school board

member eligibility requirements

from the interim board and Hopi

Tribal Council Representatives

David Talayumtewa, Albert Sinquah, LeRoy N. Shingoitewa,

Pansy Edmo, and Alverna Poneoma were appointed to serve

on the interim school board until

such time an election is held and

a new school board is seated.

“It is important to note that

the Hopi Tribal Council is ultimately responsible for the

Tribally-Controlled Schools on

Hopi.” said David Talayumptewa Chairman of the Hopi Health

and Education Committee.

The motivation for the interceding actions of the Hopi Tribal Council with regards to both

the Hopi Jr./Sr. High School and

Second Mesa Day School is further indicated by a clause within resolution H-040-2018 itself,

which states that the Hopi Tribal

Council “recognizes and embraces the responsibility to ensure [that] all children residing

on the Hopi reservation are provided with the best educational

opportunities.”

The findings of the Hopi Jr/

Sr. High School investigative review by the Hopi H&E are to be

presented to the Hopi Council on

Simply being a friend to those who

are in most need of one.

Angelina is a tireless advocate and

disabilities warrior always at the forefront of a movement or cause to help individuals with or without disabilities. In

particular, she is motivated to gain more

knowledge on how to address the inadequacy of resources in remote areas. She

perseveres, doesn’t easily take “no” for

an answer, and, when an important issue

upon the opportunity for collaboration

and development of a national network

of support in the area of advocacy for

people with disabilities, she proudly

shares the skills and knowledge she

learned. Angelina possesses drive and

determination and consistently steps

up to serve as a community leader.

These qualities are demonstrated in her

commitment to engage people in civic

life, driving throughout the Hopi and

Navajo communities to register individuals to vote, to make them aware of the

important issues affecting them, and to

reinforce an understanding of why it is

important for them to vote. (Indeed, she

spends so much time traveling to fulfill

her tasks, the odometer on her vehicle

says, “Angie, I can’t record any more

miles!”)

Angelina James has touched and

enriched the lives of people throughout

Arizona. Her work has demonstrated

lasting results and impacted individuals

in the both in the disability community

and the community at large.

Talaswaima Places 2nd in Statewide Bus Competition

Hopi Tribe-Transportation

ference in Tucson. She competed in the

5311 Rural Transit Class and operated a

35-foot low floor bus.

Adrienne placed 2nd in the competition.

On Saturday, April 7, 2018, Transit

Vehicle Operator Adrienne “Cookie”

Talaswaima competed against other

Transit System Operators from the state

in the 2018 Sun Tran Bus Roadeo. The

Roadeo was held in conjunction with the

AzTA|ADOT 31st Annual Transit Con-

Support and encouragement from an

excited community flooded in right up to

the day of competition with cheers such

as “Bring home the GOLD! Go get em

Cookie!” Hopi Chairman Nuvangyaoma

offered “This opportunity is pretty amazing. Adrienne, you’re gonna do great and

represent Hopi well…Um haapi ovi NAHONGVITANI!!”

“It was fun but nerve racking,” said

Adrienne. “Being in the line-up with big

time transit agencies from the cities and

with us being rural...I was intimidated at

first then I became more comfortable and

confident as I began talking with the other drivers on the course.”

Adrienne added, “As a driver you are

the first contact with the public while

representing your agency. You are customer service. You have to trust your

instincts, maintain self-control and show

confidence because above all you are a

professional. At the end of every shift

I am satisfied that I have done my job

because I have delivered my passengers

to their destinations safely. Without our

passengers there would be no public

transportation. Thank you [public] for

riding with Hopi Senom Transit!!”

In order to be eligible and qualify for

the competition, Talaswaima had to be

employed by Hopi Senom Transit for a

minimum of 12 months, hold and maintain a Commercial Driver’s License,

maintain a good attendance record with

limited tardies and have no preventable

accidents in the last 12 months. She was

selected to represent Hopi Senom Transit by Shawn Silas, Hopi Senom Transportation Supervisor and co-workers.

Silas won the state title in 2012, placed

2nd in statewide competition in 2013 and

placed 13th at the National Roadeo in Indianapolis, IN.

“State rules are that supervisors and

managers are ineligible and we have two

very good drivers that were eligible,”

Silas said. “I felt these drivers would

benefit from the competition and experience.”

Bus Roadeos are sanctioned by the

American Public Transportation Association. The International Bus Roadeo Committee goals are to provide the

most equitable competition possible, to

encourage the highest degree of professionalism in bus operators and technicians, and build camaraderie among all

those who compete. Through sportsmanship and pride of work, the APTA International Bus Roadeo stands as a symbol

of the important role bus operators and

technicians play in providing transit’s

customers with safe, reliable service.

Hopi Tutuveni Hires New Managing Editor and Assistant Editor, cont.

“It has always been a dream of mine to work for a newspaper company so I could put my graphic skills to use,” said

Onsae. Commenting on possible changes in the newspaper

moving forward, Onsae said, “people in the community,

especially the elderly, rely on being able to read the print

newspaper, but for younger tribal members like me, we

need to consider a digital version that subscribers can access online.”Commenting on the hire of Laban and Onsae,

Hopi Vice Chairman Tenakhongva said, “The Hopi Tribe is

fortunate to hire two members of our own Hopi community

who possess the skills, expertise and knowledge to implement positive changes to the Hopi Tribal Newspaper and I

am optimistic that they will bring quality content and jour-

nalistic integrity to their reporting on issues of importance

and interest to the Hopi people.”

Also joining the Hopi Tutuveni as an Editorial Board

member is Mr. George Mase. From the Village of Sipaulvi, Mase was appointed to the Editorial Board by the Hopi

Tribal Council in April. Joining Dr. Angela Gonzales, Candace Hamana and Curtis Honanie on the Tutuveni Editorial

Board, Mase commented, “it’s great to be part of a team

that shares my commitment to elevating the quality of news

reporting so that the Hopi Tutuveni will be a reliable and

highly regarded source of news and information for the

Hopi people and the surrounding communities.”

The last issue of the Hopi Tutuveni was published on

March 8, 2018. Commenting on the unplanned, two-month

break in production, Hamana said, “we sincerely regret the

inconvenience caused by having to temporarily cease production of the newspaper, but with our new Managing Editor and Assistant Editor we look forward to bringing the

Hopi Tutuveni back to our readers stronger and better than

before.”

“The Editorial Board knows that the Hopi community

relies on the newspaper as an important source of local

news and information and we appreciate the support and

understanding from Tutuveni readers during the break in

production,” said Honanie.

Letter from the New Managing Editor

Romalita Laban

As the new Managing Editor, I want to share with Hopi Tutuveni readers a few

reflects about my first three weeks on the job and my thoughts about the newspaper

moving forward. First, I wish to say how happy I am that the Tutuveni Office is now

fully staffed. Second, I want to extend my appreciation to everyone who has contacted

me with messages of welcome, but also questions and concerns about the newspaper.

I value the feedback and I want readers to know that your opinions matter. I know that

there are many in our Hopi and Tewa communities who value the Hopi Tutuveni for

the information it provides for us all.

In coming back to the Hopi Tribe as an employee after twelve years, much has

changed. Recent budget cuts have impacted all programs and department, making

it a challenge for tribal employees and community members alike. But despite these

challenges, many continue their work guided by our Hopi principles of hita’nangwa,

nami’nangwa, sumi’nangwa and kyaptsi.

In applying for the position of Managing Editor, I saw an opportunity to use my

knowledge and skills for the benefit of our people. The press is important for any democracy. The functioning of a healthy democracy requires that its citizens are well-informed. Citizens depend on the media to educate and inform by providing honest and

accurate information. I believe the Hopi Tutuveni can and should play an important

role in helping to educate and inform the community about important issues impacting

our community, these include the possible closure of the Navajo Generating Station,

decreases in the federal budgets that impact funding for local programs and services,

tribal policies that impact the governance of our local Hopi schools, to name but a

few. As the Managing Editor, I am committed to elevating the quality and content of

our reporting while at the same time not losing sight of the interests and needs of our

readers.

During the short time I have been on the job, I have heard from many in Tribal government and in the community voice concerns about the future of the Hopi Tutuveni

and whether the paper had been permanently shut down. I’m pleased to say that it

hasn’t and resuming publication has been a top priority of mine since day one. Doing

so wasn’t easy, and the Tutuveni staff (one of whom has been on the job less than a

week!) and Editorial Board worked long and hard to publish this issue of the Hopi Tutuveni. We know it isn’t perfect, but we felt it important to resume production ASAP

for the benefit of our readers. In the coming months readers can look forward to seeing

improvements in the design and format of the newspaper. In addition to improving the

quality of reporting, we are planning to add new features that incorporate Hopi lavayi.

Input from the community is important and I welcome your suggestions and feedback

as we move forward towards improving the newspaper.

2018 Hopi Code Talkers

Recognition Day

Letter from Steven Berbeco,

Superintendent Hopi Jr/Sr High

School

The 2018 Hopi Code

Talkers Recognition Day

was held on April 27,

2018 at the Hopi Veterans Memorial Center, near

Kykotsmovi.

Veterans,

families, and the general

public gathered to honor and recognize those

who served. The keynote

speaker this year was Mr.

Leigh

Kuwanwisiwma,

Director Emeritus, who

recently retired from the

Hopi Cultural Preservation Office. Additionally,

the event highlighted and

recognized Perry Honani as this year’s featured

Hopi Code Talker. Every

year on or near April 23,

Hopi Code Talkers Recognition Day is scheduled

to honor the 10 Hopi Code

Talkers who served during

World War II in the Pacific theatre. Using the Hopi

lavayii (language), they

transmitted secret coded

radio messages to one another during combat operations. Their military actions helped turn the tide

of war, saved countless

lives of American soldiers

and contributed to winning the war in the Pacific.

Their transmitted communication exploits were kept

a secret until the late 60s

when the code talker operations were declassified.

Through the years, Hopi

Code Talkers have been

honored and recognized

by state, federal, and tribal

governments. On March

21, 2012 Hopi Tribal

Resolution H-041-2012,

established April 23rd of

each year as “Hopi Code

Talkers Recognition Day”.

Finally on November 20,

2013 as the result of the

Code Talkers Recognition

Act of 2008 (Public Law

110-420), signed into law

by President George W.

Bush, 33 tribes including

the 10 Hopi Code Talkers, were honored during a

ceremony in Washington,

D.C., at the U.S. Capitol

Visitor Center. A Congressional Gold Medal,

designed as distinct for the

Hopi Tribe was presented

to then Chairman Leroy

Shingoitewa, with Congressional Silver Medals

awarded to the individual

code talkers or next-ofkin. Family members from

each of the 10 Hopi code

talkers were represented at

the prestigious Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony, and later during a

separate ceremony hosted

by the National Museum

of the American Indian.

Attendees celebrated the

Hopi Code Talkers legacy and the importance of

speaking the Hopi lavayii.

Volunteers served meals

while veterans, families

and friends enjoyed entertainment and several

interactive booths for the

youth. Additionally, the

Hopi Diabetes Program

recognized the Hopi Code

Talkers during their 100Mile Run/Walk event on

April 18, 2018 at the Hopi

Mission School area.

Letters to the Editor

April 15, 2018 To the Editor, Tutuveni,

The Hopi Government economic meltdown, caused by the imminent closure of the

Navajo Generation Station (NGS) at the end

of next year, is a wake­up call for the independent villages to act and to do what owners of

NGS, Peabody Western Coal Co. (Peabody),

the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Hopi

Tribal Council have failed to do.

One thing villages can do to avoid a government shutdown is to introduce an “Action

Item”, mandating the Council to immediately

enact a Possessory and Business Activity Tax

Ordinance on the Black Mesa Mine (BMM).

The tax ordinance will require Peabody to

make annual tax payments to the

Hopi Tribe up to the end of the year 2024,

when Peabody’s coal lease with the Hopi Tribe

end.

The tax will be based on the prevailing market value of coal sold on the New York Stock

Exchange, multiplied by the tax rate set by the

Council.

Coal mining on Black Mesa Mine (BMM)

ended in 2006 when Mohave Generating Station shutdown. Nevertheless, Peabody is still

holding exclusive rights to the coal. In other

words, Peabody still has possession of our

coal, but is not paying for it. It is like leasing a

house for free.

Another reason why Peabody wants to hold

onto our coal is because it helped them get out

of bankruptcy. In other words, we helped Peabody get out of a financial mess.

According to a report filed by Peabody in

2002, one coal reserve on the BMM lease area

(J-23), located on Hopi Partitioned Lands, contains 60 million tons of economically mineable

coal.

At one time the market value of coal was

around $60 per ton. The value has since gone

down considerably. Suppose on average, if the

coal is worth just

$20 per ton today, the value of 60 million

tons would be worth a little over one $1 billion. Imagine how much revenue our Tribe

will be getting annually, if they put 5% possessory tax on one $1 BILLION. The tax rate

could be higher or lower.

If a tax ordinance is enacted this year, it is

possible the Tribe can begin collecting tax revenues, starting next year until the coal lease expires in five (5) years. Of course, Peabody will

vigorously fight it and probably take the Tribe

to court. But Peabody cannot prevent the Hopi

Tribe from taxing because the Tribe is a sovereign nation that has a right to tax. Tribal nations are taxing companies doing business on

their lands. Navajo is doing it.

Back in 1992 when I was Chairman, the

Hopi Constitution was amended, giving the

Hopi Tribe the right to tax. I wrote a paper

calling on the Council to enact possessory,

severance, and business activity taxes, but it

got nowhere.

Imagine how much money we could have

in the bank if the Hopi Tribe started collecting

tax revenues in 1992. The tax can also be applied to Arizona Public Service Co. and other

companies, using our land tax free.

If we succeed in receiving tax revenues, it

will buy time to investigate other economic

development opportunities, and we will have

money to do it.

It is up to Independent Villages to wake

up and take action by putting pressure on the

Council to enact a tax ordinance as soon as

possible. The villages should insist that they

decide how tax revenues will be spent-not the

Hopi Tribal Council.

Askwali and happy reading!

Dear Hopi Junior Senior High School Families,

We are nearing the end of the school year at Hopi Junior Senior High School. It’s

hard to believe that the time has gone by so quickly!

It feels like just yesterday that we welcomed students into our classrooms. Our

promotion for eighth graders will be on Wednesday, May 23 at 5pm at the Bruins

Stadium, and our high school graduation is scheduled for Thursday, May 24 at 2pm

at the Bruins Stadium. The last day of school will be Thursday, May 24. Our most

recent data suggest that our graduation rate will be much higher than last year, and

also significantly higher than BIE-funded schools nationwide.

Our students have enjoyed several successes this year. The NWEA math scores

for our students have jumped since the start of the school year with the largest gain

in the senior class: they advanced the equivalent of at least three grade levels since

last August. Go, Bruins! This success has come from a lot of hard work on the part

of our students, and also a lot of great teamwork among our math teachers and high

school staff. We completed AzMERIT testing, too, and will post our scores to our

website as soon as they’re available.

Students have been learning outside the classroom, also. We’re proud of our journalism students for participating in the national student journalism conference in

San Francisco and coming home with a third-place prize in a national competition.

Our AVID program has brought students on several college visits as part of our effort to promote college and career readiness, and our Gifted and Talented program

had a great trip to Washington, D.C. as part of the Close Up program.

Our administrative team is working hard to set up another great school year in

the fall. We have established tentative budgets for each of the ten departments and

these will be published on our website when the Governing Board has reviewed and

approved them. The administrative team has also submitted recommendations for

changes to the organizational chart for Hopi Junior Senior High School, in order to

help us become more efficient and to serve our students better.

Please keep in touch over the summer! We are a community school and we’re

committed to working with our community members.

My email address is superintendent@hjshs.org and my phone number is 928738-1401. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

With warm wishes for a happy and healthy summer,

Steven Berbeco, Superintendent

Drought Troubles HEEF looks to award $35,000

for the IMAGINE Grants

the Hopi Reservation

RANCHERS NEWS

Office of Range Management

Feb. 3, 2018 – Fall is typically a transition season when cooler and more unsettled weather gradually settles into the

southwest U.S., but that wasn’t the case

this year. A ridge of high pressure across

much of the western U.S. most likely related to the moderate La Niña event present across the equatorial Pacific, kept the

storm track far to the north away from

Arizona, leaving instead persistently

warm and dry conditions over the past

several months. This ridge pattern broke

down a few times in November, December and January allowing the storm track

to drop into the Southwest, but precipitation amounts with these events were

underwhelming. Moisture was often limited with these events and precipitation

amounts were light and highly localized.

By the end of December, southern Arizona observed more November-December

precipitation, inverting the typical early winter pattern with northern Arizona

typically observing more precipitation

during this period. Storm activity ticked

up a bit for the region in January with

several cold, fast moving storms tracking

across Arizona and New Mexico bringing

more widespread precipitation and finally

some snow to upper elevations locations.

January precipitation amounts were still

below average for the month across most

of Arizona.

The exceptionally warm and dry conditions over the past several months coupled with the early end to the monsoon

season have led to rapid intensification

and spread of short-term drought conditions across Arizona. The February

1st update of the U.S. Drought Monitor

shows all of Arizona observing at least

moderate levels of drought and almost

65% at the severe level or worse.

The February-March-April seasonal

precipitation outlook issued by the NOAA

Climate Prediction Center in mid-October depicted an increased chance of below-average seasonal total precipitation

for all of Arizona with the largest shift in

odds towards dry conditions across southeast Arizona. This forecast for below-average total precipitation for the next three

months is due to the expected continuation of La Niña conditions in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, though weakening

rapidly over this period. The dry weather

pattern that has been plaguing the Southwest over the past several months appears

to have been driven in part by La Niña

and it is expected to continue to impact

the region over the next several months.

La Niña events typically shift the average

winter storm track away from the Southwest towards the Northwest, producing

above average precipitation in that area.

Even though the event is expected to

weaken and end by spring, the impact on

storm track can linger through the late

winter/early spring months. Temperature

outlooks continue to indicate an increased

chance of above-average seasonal temperatures over this period as well.

Rocky Mountain

Spotted Fever “Ticks“

Madeline Sahneyah

Public Health Compliance Officer

Hopi Department of Health and Human Services

Did you know that one

female tick can lay over

5,000 eggs?

The Brown Dog Tick

can carry a bacterium that

causes a potentially fatal

disease known as Rocky

Mountain spotted fever,

or RMSF. People can get

RMSF if they get bitten by

a tick that has the RMSF

bacteria.

RMSF cases occur annually throughout the

country, but in recent

years, they have been occurring much more frequently and severely on

tribal lands, even the Hopi

reservation. One reason

for this is the abundance

of the tick’s favorite food,

dogs.

Ticks can usually be

found feeding and living

on dogs, but also on the

ground and walls near

where the dogs live, lay

and sleep. You can check

your dog for ticks by looking mainly in their ears

and between their paws.

By protecting your dog

from ticks and Rocky

Mountain Spotted Fever,

you are also protecting

yourself, your family, and

your community.

The most effective way

to do this is to collar your

dog with a special tick repellant collar; change the

collar every 3 months or

as recommended by the

manufacturer. Other treatment options such as tick

dips, and topical products

are available but require

more frequent use. Avoid

using multiple treatment

options at the same time

to prevent complications

such as overdosing.

Spaying and neutering

(AKA “fixing”) dogs is

extremely important in

controlling the dog population. Less dogs running

around Hopi will reduce

tick populations and the

risk of children and adults

getting Rocky Mountain

Spotted Fever.

RMSF is completely

preventable if appropriate

action is taken. Be a responsible pet owner and

protect the health of your

pet, yourself and your

community.

Spotted Fever.
