The season of germs and viruses will continue to be amongst us; the best protection to avoid severe illness and sickness is to get updated on your family’s immunizations. You may have been hearing family discussing COVID-19 diagnosis being a result of large gatherings within the month of June. Gatherings with family during the summer season is common due to the ceremonial and cultural activities, graduation celebrations, birthday celebrations and planting parties. The Hopi Health Care Center encourages and recommends the following: 1. Everyone 6 months and older, regardless of current vaccination status, should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against COVID-19 illness. 2. People with symptoms should still mask and get tested for COVID-19. 3. Those with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 illness should continue to follow current guidelines for isolation including staying home and wearing a mask around others for at least 5 days after their symptoms started or after a positive test if no symptoms. 4. Those exposed to COVID-19 should continue to follow recommendations including wearing a mask around others. 5. People may choose to wear a mask at any time based on personal preference, but may be required in other places by local authorities (i.e., individual villages, businesses, and schools). Many individuals and family members have deterred from the practice of wiping down frequently touched surfaces and staying home when ill. Get back in the habit of wiping down frequently touched surfaces to eliminate germs to protect family from illness. Most important message is for one to stay home if you have flu like symptoms to avoid getting others ill.

The law also includes the Nicotine Products and Electronic Smoking Products Tax. The Navajo Nation Council passed the law during the Fall Session in October. The law increases the tax rate on tobacco and nicotine products at retail outlets on the Navajo Nation. “The tax increases on tobacco and nicotine sends a strong message in our work to reduce purchases on addictive and harmful products,” Dr. Patricia Nez Henderson said. “Our mission in creating a healthier Navajo Nation is to dissuade cigarette, e-cigarette, and vaping purchases. This is unprecedented in any Tribal and State jurisdiction in the United States.” Youth on the Navajo Nation are at risk shown in statistics as high as 41 percent in usage. A rate of 40 percent of high school students have used e-cigarettes and vaping products. The law signed by President Nygren became effective as he signed it on Friday. The Navajo Tax Commission will have charge in implementing the new law. “We began this as a community base initiative,” Thomas Walker, Jr. said at the signing ceremony. “Involved were elders, community members, traditional practitioners for years. We followed these efforts in making commercial tobacco control policies for the Navajo Nation. It’s here now. Tax collection on these products will go to Department of Health to be used as a deterrent on smoking. Thomas Walker, Jr. is a member of the Air is Life Coalition, and a former Council Delegate of the Navajo Nation Council. All tax collections on tobacco and nicotine products will put into a fund and transferred to the Navajo Nation Department of Health. It will fund the Office of Traditional Cultural and Spiritual Healing, while providing non-competitive grant opportunities to traditional healer organizations. “This legislation is vital to our process of reclaiming our sacred ceremonial tobacco,” Hershel Walker Clark said. “We need to stand firm against the injustices that the tobacco industry has done to one of our sacred plants given to us by the Diyin Diné’é.” The Air is Life Coalition thanks the many participants who worked for more than a year the tax amendments. Organizations such as the Arizona Tobacco Free Kids, American Nonsmoker’s Rights Foundation, and the Arizonans Concerned About Smoking. Former Council Delegate for Teesto Chapter David S. Clark and his wife Geraldine sat besides President Nygren during the signing ceremony. Clark is also a long time spiritual leader of the Azee’ Bee Nahagha’ of Diné Nation. Other dignitaries who were present were Council Delegate Carl Slater, the sponsor of the legislation, Effie Edsitty, executive director for the Navajo Tax Commission, and Mae Gilene Begay, president of Forrest Lake Chapter. Other co-sponsors of the legislation are Council Delegates Helena Nez Begay, Curtis Yanito, Lester C. Yazzie, Shaandiin Parrish, and Nathan Notah. The Air is Life Coalition extends appreciation to Sherlene Yazzie, executive director for the Department of Health, the staff for the department, and Kim Russell, former executive director for the Department of Health. Appreciation is also extended to the Office of the Legislative Counsel, Luralene Tapahe, attorney, and the Navajo Nation Department of Justice. ### Hopi Tutuveni December 4, 2024 5 PAID PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT We offer available space for Announcements.

Nuvangyaoma and Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs spoke following the Governor’s signing of the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement. This landmark agreement, decades in the making, aims to resolve long-standing water rights issues impacting the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, and San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, and other water users in the region. “We are closer than ever to making this historic water settlement a reality, due in no small part to Governor Hobbs’ steadfast commitment to water certainty in Arizona and the dedicated efforts of Director Buschatzke and the Arizona Department of Water Resources,” said Chairman Nuvangyaoma. “I am optimistic that this coalition of Tribal and State leadership can gain the support of the other six basin states and get this bill passed in this Congress.” The agreement is part of the federal bipartisan Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Act, which is now entering a crucial phase in Congress. Passage of the Act in this Congress depends on reaching a consensus among the seven states that share the Colorado River: Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The seven states are parties to the Colorado River compact, a 1922 agreement that allocates water rights based on each state’s location in the Upper Basin or Lower Basin—the two major areas of land where the Colorado River and its tributaries drain. The Hopi Reservation and Navajo Reservation occupy a unique location that straddles the divide between the Upper Basin and Lower Basin. Because of this, the Tribes need to move Colorado River water between the two Basins to meet the needs of their people across their Reservations. But movement of water between these two regions has implications for the interests of all seven Basin states and resolution of these interstate issues is complicated by parallel river management efforts underway as part of the “Colorado River Post 2026 Operations” process which involves Basin states, Basin tribes, and the federal government. “I recognize that each of the Basin states has valid interests in the management of the Colorado River.” Stated Chairman Nuvangyaoma, speaking on the importance of getting the settlement approved in this Congress. “It is imperative that we move forward—failure is simply not an option.” Office of the Governor Katie Hobb’s official press release can be read here: https://azgovernor. gov/office-arizona-governor/news/2024/11/governor-hobbs-signs-two-historic-tribal-waterrights For more information, please contact the Hopi Tribe Office of the Chairman at (928) 734-3112 ### ARTICLES: The Hopi Tutuveni welcomes original articles reporting on local, state and national news items on issues related to Hopi or of interest to Tutuveni readers.

Hopi Tutuveni December 4, 2024 Governor Hobbs Signs Two Historic Tribal Water Rights Settlement Agreements FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 7 Hopi Tribal Council Timothy L. Nuvangyaoma, Chairman Craig Andrews Vice Chairman By: Office of the Governor - State of Arizona Phoenix, Ariz. - November 20, 2024 On Tuesday, Governor Katie Hobbs signed the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement (NAIWRSA) and the Yavapai-Apache Nation Water Rights Settlement Agreement (YANWRSA), settling four Tribal nations’ water rights claims. The signing of the Northeastern Arizona and Yavapai-Apache tribal settlements marks a critical milestone along the path to ensure reliable and sustainable water supplies to the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, and Yavapai Apache Nation. For decades, generations of tribal members have fought to secure water supplies for their homelands and put an end to years of litigation. Through the extraordinary efforts of the tribes, northern Arizona communities, and the State, a resolution has been reached and an agreement brokered, providing water reliability for tribal and non-tribal parties alike. “This is a historic moment for the State of Arizona, Tribal nations, and all parties to these agreements. They create a consequential and lasting impact by securing a sustainable water supply for tens of thousands of Arizonans and helping local economies thrive,” said Governor Katie Hobbs. “I’m proud to be a part of this solution that many Arizona families have fought to get for generations. It’s a testament to their strength and determination, as well as my commitment to collaborate with Arizona’s Tribal nations and protect water supplies for all Arizonans.” The NAIWRSA settles the outstanding tribal water rights claims to the Colorado River, the Little Colorado River, and groundwater sources in Northeastern Arizona. Water infrastructure funded through this settlement will help alleviate the lack of safe, reliable water supplies for members of all three Tribes, and help ensure the access to clean running water that all Arizonans deserve. “I want to thank Governor Hobbs for her leadership in helping us reach this historic agreement. I also want to thank the team at the Arizona Department of Water Resources for all of their work,” said President Buu Nygren of the Navajo Nation. “With their help, I’m confident we can build a consensus with the seven basin states to get this through Congress.” “We are closer than ever to making this historic water settlement a reality, due in no small part to Governor Hobbs’ steadfast commitment to water certainty in Arizona and the dedicated efforts of Director Buschatzke and the Arizona Department of Water Resources,” said Chairman Timothy L. Nuvangyaoma of the Hopi Tribe. “I am optimistic that this coalition of Tribal and State leadership can gain the support of the other six basin states and get this bill passed in this Congress”. Additionally, NAIWRSA ratifies a treaty, providing the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe with 5,400 acres after sharing territory with the Navajo Nation for the last 160 years. Passage of NAIWRSA is a monumental step in guaranteeing the Paiute Tribe has a home for generations to come. “The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe sincerely appreciates Governor Hobbs’ steadfast support for the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement,” Vice President Johnny Lehi Jr. of the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe. “Governor Hobbs’ dedication to ensuring passage of the water settlement demonstrates her commitment to the Native American Tribes in Arizona. We are grateful for her continued partnership to ensure the cultural and environmental viability of our tribal homeland.” Governor Hobbs also signed the YANWRSA, which secures safe and sustainable water supplies for the Yavapai Apache Nation, while also preserving and protecting the Verde River. It includes building a 60-mile water pipeline from C.C. Cragin Reservoir on the Mogollon Rim to deliver water to the Yavapai-Apache Nation, providing water certainty to the Nation and neighboring non-tribal communities. “We are proud to have reached this critical milestone for the Yavapai-Apache Nation and the Verde River, which is at the heart of our cultural way of life,” said Chairwoman Tanya Lewis of the Yavapai-Apache Nation. “This comprehensive water rights settlement not only ensures water certainty for the Nation but also supports a healthy Verde River, benefiting the entire Verde Valley and our downstream neighbors in metropolitan Phoenix.” The NAIWRSA and YANWRSA will end decades of conflict and litigation for Tribes, cities, towns, farmers, companies, and others that have sought a water rights solution in Arizona state court since 1974. To become effective, Congress will need to pass legislation to approve the settlements and provide funding for water projects. Governor Hobbs previously announced her commitment to partnering with Arizona’s Tribes and securing safe and reliable water for all Arizonans. Under Governor Hobbs’ leadership, the State of Arizona has jump-started tribal water right settlement discussions with a commitment to reaching a resolution as a cooperative partner, and removing barriers and roadblocks to settlement that have caused agreements to languish for years. Notably, the Governor reversed an antiquated policy that infringed upon tribal sovereignty and had restricted lands from being taken into trust for Tribes through the federal administrative process as a condition of a water rights settlement. ### Tribal Secretary Nada Talayumptewa, Tribal Treasurer Alfonso Sakeva, Sergeant-At-Arms Village of Upper Moenkopi William Charley Robert Charley Leroy Shingoitewa Philton Talahytewa Village of Bakabi Ruth Kewanimptewa Clifford Qotsaquahu Village of Kyakotsmovi Danny Honanie Norman Honanie Wendall Honanie Village of Sipaulavi Raymond Namoki Maude Yoyhoeoma Village of Mishongnovi Arthur Batala Ronald Humeyestewa Marilyn Tewa First Mesa Consolidated Villages Albert T.
