Hopi Chairman Herman G. Honanie,
who was unable to attend the event, sent a
congratulatory letter read by Councilman
Keevama: “You have attained a huge responsibility but which no doubt you are
well prepared to perform. There will be
challenges but with your professional capability, confidence and experience you
will meet these challenges. Please look to
the Hopi Tribe for assistance and guidance
in your professional development so that a
strong and positive relationship will be developed with the National Park Service.”
Vince James, Ganado Chapter President
spoke in the Navajo language and stated
that the Chapter is emphasizing the use of
the Navajo language in the community for
the children. This change will include signage in the Navajo language. He encourages the new Superintendent work with
the community on youth work-learn projects and summer youth programs in farming and history of the trading post. For the
elderly he requests assistance for weavers
and maintaining the trading relationships.
James said, “Have courage and keep your
head up with your family at your side.”
“I am speechless; you have set the bar
and expectations very high. I don’t want to
disappoint anyone,” said Masayumptewa. “I
will need your guidance, support and ideas.”
Masayumptewa pledged outreach to the local
community and other tribes to work together.
The Hopi Tribe is proud of Masayumptewa’s accomplishment!

Breunig of his recognition
from Hopi Council. “I had
no idea and I was completely blown away by the
recognition until you asked
if I was the guy they were

Councilmen who were in
attendance expressed their
thanks to Breunig for his
work at MNA and working
with the Hopi Tribe.
Leigh Kuwanwisiwma,
Director of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office said
Breunig went on the Grand
Canyon river trip with
some Hopi men. During
the trip, Breunig fell off the
raft which led to the Hopi
men informally giving him
a Hopi name, Paayawma
meaning floating along or
drift along in water.
Breunig was presented
with a certificate of appreciation for his 40 years of
service and continued dedication to the Hopi Tribe, and
his support with the Hopi
Cultural Preservation Office
to share the tribe’s vision to
preserve Hopi artifacts.

LOCAL NEWS
Hopi Transit, HDOT, NACOG Bacavi Village CSA speaks
host meeting to address transpor- about village goals and issues
tation needs and priorities
Louella Nahsonhoya
Hopi Tutuveni
As a mission and goal to
improve and provide quality
public transportation for the
Hopi Reservation, the Hopi
Senom Transit, the Hopi Department of Transportation
(HDOT) and the Northern
Arizona Council of Governments (NACOG) hosted
a joint meeting on Sept. 11
at the Hopi Cultural Center.
The meeting was moderated
by Donovan Gomez, Hopi
Transit Administrator.
The intent of the meeting
was to bring stakeholders
together to better coordinate
planning efforts, projects,
and operational endeavors.
Most importantly, the priority was to identify needs
and to organize a Transit
Advisory Committee (TAC)
as mandated in the Federal
transportation guidelines.
HDOT has a Transportation
Planning Committee as required. Per mandate by the
State and AZ Department
of Transportation (ADOT),
NACOG is required to
work with Hopi Transit and
HDOT. NACOG provides
technical assistance in the
areas of planning, and can
assist the Hopi Transportation team in constructing a
joint use facility to house vehicles and for maintenance.
Hopi Transit was recently awarded a $ 519,832.67
federal grant for operations,
administration of rural transit services and can be used
for organization and establishment of a TAC. The
grant includes an $80,000
planning grant for planning
to construct a much needed
Hopi Transit/Transportation Facility. Hopi Transit
and HDOT place this as a
priority and wish to move
forward with this project.

Hopi Transit currently receives funding from the
State of AZ to operate the
bus transportation system,
for which the Hopi Tribe
provides a 20% match.
Several individuals attended the meeting representing villages, various
groups, organizations and
entities. Several needs and
suggestions were made on
how to improve the Hopi
Transit system to provide
safe and affordable transportation to riders. Areas of
concern were: Current Bus
Routes and length of time
from pick up to final destination. Gomez explained
that current bus routes were
established based on need
as determined through ridership/head count. Hopi Senom Transit currently has 3
Bus Routes: Route 1, Keams
Canyon Route; Route 2,
Winslow Route; and Route
3, Flagstaff Route.
Previously, a Moenkopi
Route existed to transport
employees to and from employment at the Hopi Tribe
Government complex. Gomez explained the Route
was exchanged for the
Winslow route due to low
numbers in ridership and often without any riders. Miles
traveled without riders are
referred to in the transit industry as “dead head miles”
and Transit does not receive
operating funds for dead
head miles while racking up
costs in personnel, maintenance and fuel. Running the
bus to and from Moenkopi
was not cost effective and
the route was replaced by
the Winslow route. While
the elimination of this route
created hardship for employees employed at the
Hopi Tribe, it now provides
Hopi residents daily access
to Hopi Housing, Northland

More and more grandparents are helping raise
the next generation. The
relationship between a
child and a grandparent is a
special bond. As the nation
celebrated Grandparents’
Day this month, let’s take a
look at those grandparents
who are not only showering their grandkids with
love, but also helping support and raise those kids in
their homes.
U.S. Census figures show
about 2.7 million grandparents are responsible for
most of the basic needs of
children living with them.
In Arizona, there are almost 60,000 grandparents
who are responsible for
the basic needs of one or
more grandchildren under
the age of 18, according to
a 2013 estimate from the
U.S. Census Bureau.
More than a dozen cities

across Arizona have proclaimed September as Kinship Care Month, a time
to recognize grandparents
and other family members
raising children who cannot be cared for by their
own parents.
For many grandparents,
it can be challenging when
it has been decades since
they cared for young children. So much has been
learned about brain science
and babies. About 90 percent of a child’s brain develops before age 5. Quality early interactions are
crucial for a young child’s
success in school and later
in life.
In Arizona, there are two
statewide resources that
can provide advice and
support to grandparents
who are parenting a second
time around.
The Birth to 5 Helpline
(1-877-705-KIDS) is a
free program and open to
all Arizona families, with

windows to the community, vehicles and some houses,” said Nicholas. “Another issue is the “Certified”
question; we are leaving
that one up to the BOD to
decide what to do.”
Their main priority is to
establish economic development and find services
for individuals between the
ages of 20-54 years.
“We have services for
youth and elders, but not
for those in between,” said
Nicholas. “I would like to
offer these individuals job
trainings and resources to
help them with finding jobs.”
Community
Services
include: water and sewer;
Youth and Elderly services;
and community building
rentals. They no longer offer wood/ coal hauling for
residents due to vehicle
maintenance issues, but do
issue coal cards. Wood permits are obtained through
the Wildlife and Ecosystems Management Program (WEMP). The village
has a computer lab for public use; village members
are given priority.
Nicholas said he invites
village members to attend monthly village/BOD
meetings and water meetings. He said they are trying something new called
“Council Report Night” to
be held on the third Thursday of every month.

University, said Cornell
offers the best educational opportunity for Native
American students.
It’s extremely difficult
to get in to Cornell. They
only take 14% of the students that apply. Cornell
is interested in Hopi High
students because they
are interested in Native
Americans, and they want
more students to represent
Hopi High on their campus. Cornell has more than
80 majors for students to
choose from. Cornell costs
$65,000.

Kathy Halbig joined
Caro for a presentation in
the Hopi High auditorium
on Sept. 16 about Cornell. She said the students
who are at Cornell can
pay their tuition by needbased financial aid. More
than 14,000 students attend
Cornell. The percentage of
Native Americans attending Cornell is less than 1%.
Cornell offers students an
opportunity to get special
scholarships and travel

large variety of programs.

By: Deborah Secakuku Baker, MSW and
Martha Donahue, Friends of Hopi Vice Pres.
The Friends of Hopi Foundation (FOHF),
a 501(c) (3) (non-profit), was formed and
incorporated in 2005 by the Montgomery
family of Texas (John and Bob Montgomery, Frankie Ramey and Selinda Miller)
to provide service programs in the Hopi
schools on the reservation.
The FOHF sponsor a two-week service
program at Second Mesa Day School and
Hotevilla Bacavi Community School in
the fall and spring. FOHF volunteers are
from all over the United States. Most are
retired professionals, and some are certified
educators who contribute their knowledge,
experience and skills with the teacher and
students in the classroom. They talk to the
students about where they live and what life
is like in those locations to give the students
knowledge of other parts of the country.
Virginia Rundell recalls her first visit
more than 10 years ago when Elderhostel sponsored the service programs before
FOHF was formed. She and fellow volunteer Nancy Draper drove to Hopi for the
first time and after an hour on their drive
from Flagstaff to Hopi via the Leupp Road;
they began to think they might be lost in the
desert. She remembers they gave a huge
sigh of relief when they saw Kykotsmovi
come into view. “We thought who would
ever find us in what looks like such a desolate place? Over the years we have learned
that Hopi is far from being desolate. It is
a place rich with culture and life and has
become very near and dear to our hearts.”
Virginia started volunteering at Second
Mesa Day School when the school was in
trailers while the new school was being
planned and built. “I remember the year we
came back and walked into the brand new
school. I cried because it was so beautiful!”
Virginia also remembers with a laugh, “…
the children in class would ask where I
was from and what my clan was. I would
explain I was from the state of Delaware
but that I did not have a clan. The children
would be so shocked and become so sad
that I didn’t have a clan. I finally made up a
clan so the children wouldn’t feel that I was
this unfortunate person from Delaware with
no clan. That is how I became a member
of my own Happy Face clan!” Virginia says
very fondly, “It’s memories such as this that
I always feel I receive more than I give.”

“The Hopi Wildlife and
Ecosystem
Management
Program (WEMP) was established in 2002,” said
Darren Talayumptewa, Director of WEMP. “The program was established with
$10 million through the
Navajo/Hopi Land Dispute
settlement, but the program
operated only on the interest. The $10 million was invested in stocks and bonds.”
The WEMP program consists of two units; the Wildlife Program and Ecosystem
Management with a staff
of ten. the Administrative
staff are: Talayumptewa and
Alfreda Poleahla, Administrative Secretary I. Wildlife
Unit staff include: Daniel
Sorensen, Game Biologist,
Wildlife Technicians II
Shane Honanie and Ernal
Takala, and Wildlife Technicians I Christopher Yaiva
and Stanley Lomayaktewa.
The Ecosystem Unit staff is:
Carl Seweyestewa, Forester; Duwayne Quochytewa
and Randy Lomayaktewa,
Forestry Technicians.
WEMP has a budget
primarily from the initial
investments of the $10
million endowment; grants
through projects from the
Golden Eagle Study, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Services,
Arizona Game and Fish
hunting cooperative agreement and from Revolving
Accounts for hunting and
fishing permits.
Each unit has its own
goals and objectives: The

Wildlife Unit has one main
goal and that is to ensure
the golden eagle population
on Hopi land is doing well
long-term and to ensure
steady prey population.
They also want to make
sure clan gathering areas
have a healthy population to
continue collecting in those
areas. Talayumptewa said
non-collection areas where
juvenile eagles fledge add
to the population making
the population sustainable
and healthy.
“Outside agencies think
Hopi’s collecting eagles is
hurting the population, but
we are not because we only
collect from specific areas,”
said Talayumptewa.
The wildlife unit is continuing with elk and deer
hunts and is looking for
ways to improve habitat by
placing three water catchments in several of the
range units. Talayumptewa
said his goal is to continue
working with Government
agencies, provide more services to the people and get
them involved with their
input and feedback on regulations and projects they are
working on.
The Forestry Unit recently received funds from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) to do Wildland Urban

Every year, the Hopi Office of Public
Health Compliance and the Indian Health
Services Office of Environmental Health
& Engineering receive multiple reports
of bed bug infestations in Hopi villages
and communities and Hopi is not the only
area facing the problem of bed bugs. Infestations are being reported throughout
the USA, not only in homes but apartment complexes, hotels, nursing homes,
stores, offices, hospitals, schools, dormitories, moving company warehouses and
trucks, merchandise distribution centers,
etc. The presence of bed bugs is not a
reflection of cleanliness or because a
person is poor. People of all nationalities, rich or poor; face bed bug problems
because most travel and bed bugs can
hitch rides in suit cases, back packs and
clothing. Even 5 star hotels and resorts
can have bed bug infestations. Everyone
wants to blame or have someone else pay
for the problem. Residents worry about
neighbors finding out and hotels worry
about internet reviews when everyone
should be concentrating on early detection and control, otherwise the infestation
will spread.
Bed bugs are small, flat, oval, brown
insects that feed on the blood of humans
and animals – usually at night while
they sleep. The bedbugs can live several months without a blood meal. Bed
bugs do not transmit diseases, but for
some people they may cause itchy welts,
sleeplessness, stress and anxiety. They
hide during the day in cracks and crevices, such as along mattress seams, box
springs, joints of bed frames, along edges
of carpets, wall sockets, behind pictures
and headboards, etc.
Homeowners have a role of preventing bedbugs from coming into the home.
Carefully inspect new and used furniture
before bringing it home. Bedbugs and
bug eggs can be visually seen. Whenever
you stay in a hotel, no matter how classy
or expensive, inspect your room for signs
of bed bugs. Use the luggage rack to keep
your stuff off the floor and the furniture.

Place all your clothing from luggage immediately in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at the highest setting upon returning
home from travel.
Infestations are easier to control if they
are found early. Killing the bed bugs visually seen will not always eliminate the
problem. The best way to address the
problem is stopping the infestations. One
way is to look for signs such as dark blood
spots (black, brown, dark red) along mattress seams, blood spotting on bed sheets,
skins from molting bugs, sweet musty
odor and unexplained bug bites on exposed skin. Once hiding places are found,
seal cracks and crevices, put mattresses
and box springs inside mattress covers,
remove and bag infested articles, vacuum rugs thoroughly, wash and dry dirty
clothes and linens in the hot cycle. Bagging items in airtight bags will suffocate
the bedbugs and prevent them from finding a host to feed on. Hot water and especially a hot dryer will kill the bugs.
Whenever possible, pesticide treatments should be done by trained professionals. If people choose to apply their
own pesticides, they need to be sure to
always follow label instructions. Never
spray mattresses, bedding or self with
pesticide. Proper use of pesticides may
be part of the strategy but will not by itself eliminate bed bugs. Bed bug control
can only be maintained through a variety
of techniques plus careful monitoring.
In cases of extensive infestations, the
amount of work needed to eradicate the
bugs may go beyond the scope of what
most homeowners are willing and able to
take on; in such cases, professional assistance should be considered.
It will require the diligence and cooperation of everyone in the Hopi communities and villages to prevent and stop
bed bug infestations. Homeowners are
encouraged to inspect all material/items
coming into the home and carefully monitoring for signs of bed bugs along with
appropriate, effective treatment when infestations are apparent. Beg bugs have
been around since the days of the cave
man and communities all over the world
deal with them, not only Hopi.

are other avenues such as

others to use the system
for their own benefit if
they move forward with it.
Also, is it the Tribal
Council’s job to fund individual need cases? For
instance, providing financial assistance to individuals for athletic events
or camps. I requested
assistance for my daughter
to attend a tribal political
program. She was willing
to pay back by interning.
Yet, no response was
given. It was directed to
Tribal Council, Chair-

response; they forwarded
the case to HTGSP. I was
very grateful for their
assistance. They had a

a need.
I was upset that we

regulations on carbon emissions (pollution) and cheaper and cleaner renewable
energy production (solar,

Coal-fired power plants are
also closing (being retired)
because of increasing governmental regulations and
the resulting economic

California and Nevada now

those states to buy electricity from coal-fired power

Los Angeles Water and

Nevada Energy will also
soon get rid of its ownership

and layoffs in the United States with hundreds
of coal miners being laid

is no different. Peabody
has suffered significant declines in its company portfolio. Peabody’s stocks are
down. The uncertain future
of NGS affects the future of
Peabody, at least in the Four

will be reducing its electric
generating capacity soon so
its demand for coal will be
decreasing. This then, directly impacts Hopi because
we sell our coal to Peabody.
Our economy depends

$11.0 million annual royalties from Peabody for
our coal and water. That
is about half of the tribe’s
annual budget. We know
the tribe’s finances have decreased and the tribe is facing budget cuts. So what is
the financial projection for

Hopi into fiscal year 2016
and beyond? And what is
being done to address the
potential impacts on jobs,
services and programs?
Hopi must immediately
seek other ways of creating
jobs and bringing in additional revenues.
To this end, in 2013 we
submitted a proposal to the
tribal council for a large
utility-scale solar energy
project that would bring in
millions of new revenues
for the tribe and create
hundreds of jobs for tribal
members. Our team met
with the Water & Energy
Team in August 2013 and
submitted a formal proposal
with a proposed action item
to the tribal council in May
2014. We were finally able
to make a formal presentation to the tribal council
in July 2015 and are now
waiting on final action and
decision by the tribal council on October 26, 2015 at
1:30 p.m. I encourage those
of you who are interested, to
attend the council meeting.
This proposal can provide
long term benefits for our
tribe and tribal members.
Our unemployment rate is
high and people are doing
what they can to provide for
their families. Tribal members now have a chance to
have a stable income to provide for their families, be
able to have health and life
insurance, to be able to have
a savings account, and be
able to retire from these jobs
with good benefits. Creating a solar energy company
and selling electricity in the
market can make Hopi a key
player, if not a leader in the
renewable energy market.
There are many other spinoff
benefits from this project.
Hopi does not have to depend
on a coal economy, Peabody
and NGS. See the charts that
show potential revenues and
potential jobs.
Thank you for your time.
I am available to make presentations at your villages to
explain this project. Again,
I encourage you to attend
the tribal council meeting
on October 26, 2015 at 1:30
p.m. Kwak’wha.
Ben Nuvamsa, Shungopavi
Former Hopi Tribal Chairman

In regards to the Action
Item 099-2015 Request for
financial assistance to fund
a private high school tuition that was discussed by
Tribal Council. I disagree
with the action moving
forward. If there was no
policy stating HTGSP
did not fund private high
school, then it should have
been left at that.
Sending your child to
a private school is a personal choice. I have two
children in high school. It
is my responsibility to pay
for needs if necessary. I
chose to send my children
to school, out of state.
But, that is my option and
according to my income.
I’m curious to see how

Over 55 years ago, the
federal government (and
attorney John Boyden) determined that Hopi would
have a coal-based economy and that Sentry Royalty Company (Peabody
Coal Company’s predecessor) would monopolize
the mining of coal on the
Hopi Reservation. Sentry Royalty later assigned
the coal leases to Peabody
Coal. Peabody wanted coal
to fuel two power plants in
the Four Corners area, the
Mohave Generating Station (MGS) near Laughlin,
Nevada; and the Navajo
Generating Station (NGS)
near Page, Arizona. There
was no competition on who
would mine Hopi coal.
Hopi was literally forced by
the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) and John Boyden,
into agreeing to the coal
lease. The first lease was
signed by the BIA; and for
15 years Peabody mined
over 200,000,000 tons of
coal and still wanted more.
In 1966, Peabody decided
the best way to move coal
from Black Mesa to MGS
was to build a 275 mile
pipeline and use the Navajo
Aquifer water to “slurry” it.
Again, Hopi was forced into
agreeing to the use of Navajo Aquifer water to slurry
coal. Peabody paid Hopi a
mere $1.67 per acre foot of
pristine Navajo Aquifer water to do this when the market rate was around $20 to
$30 per acre foot of water at
that time. Peabody pumped
millions, if not billions of
gallons of water before
they were stopped by Hopi
and Navajo in 2005. In the
end, Hopi received very little in royalties for the coal
and water. Virtually no jobs
were created as promised.
Today, the MGS is shut
down and the pipeline was
decommissioned years ago.
Hopi received about $6.0
million annually from Mohave but when it closed its
doors nothing was done by
the tribe to address the $6.0
million shortfall in revenues.
Today, the coal economy is down. This directly
impacts NGS and Peabody
Coal. The coal economy
is down mainly because

Dear Editor,
We the Hotevilla/Bacavi
Community School, Governing Board would like to
inform our Hopi Senom,
Parents, Grandparents, Uncles, Teachers, Administrators, and all interested
Hopis we are in receipt of
an application that was submitted to the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) by our
Hopi Department of Education (HDE) Director Noreen
Sakiestewa.
The Grant proposes funding to be used to conduct a
feasibility study and allow
for review and revisions of
Hopi Ordinance 36 (Education Ordinance). Further,
the Hopi Tribe was awarded the grant and awarded
$200,000.00 for each year
beginning 2015, for a total of
$600,000.00 for a period of
three years. According to her
application, titled “TO FACILITATE HOPI TRIBAL CONTROL IN ALL
MATTERS RELATING
TO THE EDUCATION
OF HOPI CHILDREN”,
she states “ the Hopi Tribe
is exercising its sovereign
rights pertaining to self-determination and local control and proposes to BIE to
focus on local community
and tribal control of education programs to explore
options for establishing
a CENTRALIZED OFFICE that will coordinate
resources, provide educational technical assistance
and oversee education on
the reservation. In order to
accomplish this, the Hopi
Tribe is proposing that objective study be conducted
to assess activities similar
to those of county school
office. Upon completion of
this assessments, the final
desired results is to develop a structure to provide
optimum services of educational, and support services to the children, staff,
communities, and stakeholders on the Hopi reservation. The recommendations will include areas of:
governance, funding, regulations, and policies, etc. to
POTENTIALLY become
a Hopi reservation-wide
school system”.
This is not only a feasibility study of Ordinance 36 as
stated, but her office is wanting to take total control of
our grant schools, to assume
all the responsibilities that
the Grant Schools now have
and exercise, and eliminate
the Boards and establishe a
reservation-wide education
committee. For your information, the HBCS Board
invited Ms. Sakiestewa to
a school board meeting to
present information on the
grant. The HBCS Board
had no knowledge that Ms.
Sakiestewa had submitted
this proposal, she was asked
about the application and
she responded by telling the
Board she was not able to
share the application with
the Board, that it was going
through a review process.
Furthermore, our school
was denied a copy of the
application. Upon denial of
the application the HBCS

School Board researched
and successfully retrieved
a copy. The components
of the grant are completely
counter to Dr. Sakiestewa
presentation; she lied to
the Board and possibly to
other school boards. We
were assured by Ms. Sakiestewa that this application
had nothing to do with consolidation of our schools;
including funding, operations, maintenance, hiring
of employees, etc. Further,
she assured that our schools
would be status quo.
Brief background of this
grant. On September 2013
Secretary of Interior and
Secretary of Education convened an American Indian
Education Group to propose
a comprehensive reform
plan to ensure that all students attending BIE-funded
schools receive a WORLD
CLASS education. Upon
completion, the study group
issued a Blueprint for Reform; BIE Progress Report
2015. As a result of this
report, Blueprint recommends that “BIE support
tribal nations in their efforts to assume control over
BIE-funded schools and by
increasing tribal control,
further the impacts of our
failing education system in
Indian Country, high rates
of unemployment, lack of
technology, aging school
structures, difficulties of attracting and retaining teachers, inadequate socio-emotional networks and an
out of sync curriculum not
tailored to tribal needs or
the 21st Century learning”.
On June 15, Department
of Interior (DOI) received
applications and awarded
to seven tribes, with Hopi
being one of them. BIE
awarding this competitive
grants to tribes and their
tribal education agencies
is to promote tribal control
and operation of BIE-funded schools on their Indian
Reservations. The purpose
of the grant is to support the
tribe’s capacity to MANAGE and OPERATE TRIBALLY
CONTROLLED
SCHOOLS and to improve
educational outcomes for
students; and to improve efficiencies and effectiveness
in operation of BIE-funded
schools. Grant awards will
range from $100,000.00 to
$200,000.00 per year depending on the number of
schools involved and creating new tribally managed
school system. Grant funds
will provide the tribes to
develop an implementation
plan that will reform the
Tribes current organizational structure that will support
schools and students and
cover the execution of the
implementation plan with
identified staffing, projected
timelines, proposed budgets
and activities. Proposals
must include a narrative,
budget narrative, missions
and goals, an outlined work
plan and a Project Director
to manage the execution of
the grant, in case of Hopi,
Resolution and application
identifies Dr. Sakiestewa as
Project Manager to execute

Flinn Scholarships available to native american students

Recruiting high school seniors
from throughout Arizona, and
especially from tribal communities, to apply for Flinn scholarships. Recruitment for applicants for the class of 2016 is in
full swing.
Students should stand out for
their intellectual and emotional depth, not merely test-taking

mastery. They assume leadership roles at school and in the
community because they believe
their commitment and effort will
make a difference..
In general, Flinn Scholarship
applicants should:
• Participate and demonstrate
leadership in a variety of extracurricular activities

• Rank in the top 5 percent of
their graduating class (if their
school reports class rank)
• Attain at least a 3.5 gradepoint average (unweighted)
• Score a minimum 29 on the
ACT (composite score) or 1300
on the SAT I (critical reading
and math).
Occasionally, applicants who

fall short on something will advance in the selection process
and be chosen as Flinn Scholars.
The submission deadline for the
online application is Sunday,
October 18, 2015. Further details, including a link to the application, can be found at www.
flinnscholars.org. You can reach
Anne at alassen@flinn.org if you

the implementation plan.
Tribal Education Department (TED) Dr. Sakiestewa
needs to explain its evaluation of the current system
in place and how the implementation plan will assist
in embedding a reformed
tribal education department
to support the tribal control
of these schools. The plan
must explain in detail how
the tribe will establish a
TED with an organizational
structure that can operate a
school system in the area of
Finances, Human Resources, School Governance and
Academics. Some concerns
we have are:
1. Action Item which requires village input, on the
application, was checked
no, which indicates that
consultation with villages is
out of the question, yet they
are the major stakeholders
in the education
of their
children.
2. Application was done
without any ones input and/
or consultation and why just
the Executive Offices namely the Chairman Office was
aware of this until it went
through review process.
3. What was so secretive
about this application that
Ms. Sakiestewa refused and
denied sharing a copy of
the grant application.
4. Is her department ready
and prepared to take control of our locally controlled
schools as it stands today,
we don’t think so.
5. There are Resolutions in
place Adopting and Authorizing all responsibilities
to the local school boards,
in fact two schools had just
transitioned from BIE to a
Grant status.
6. What are the implications
of our tribal sanctions if any
and/or audit failures and its
findings.
7. Currently the Education
Department has Administrative over site over Head
Start and Higher Education only, and no authority
over Elementary and High
School. However, should
this grant be approved by
Council, Dr. Sakiestewa
will have total control of the
grant schools.
8. Hiring of a consultant to
conduct a feasibility study
of our Education Ordinance,
this can be done by our local Education Professionals
and not an outside consultant to dictate to us again.
We thank you for your
time and consideration of
our editorial. Please join
us for a Public meeting at
HBCS on October 7, 2015
at 5:30 p.m. to address the
questions and concerns regarding Sovereignty in Indian Education Grant. We
urge those of you who are
opposed to having the Department Education take
control of our grant schools
to please submit your letters
of objection to Hopi Tribal
Council. Action Item #1162015 and its Resolution is
scheduled to be heard on
October 29th at 1:30 p.m.
at the Tribal Chambers.

Hopi Special Diabetes Program host Diabetes Expo Nov. 2
TAAWAKI Trail Run - “Lolmat’ovi Nanamungwa” at Hopi Veterans Center
always something differ- moving, to join us for this questions about the Fitness Valerie Nuvayestewa

Physical Fitness Coord.
The Hopi Special Diabetes Program is very excited to host the upcoming
TAAWAKI Trail Run that
consists of a Half Marathon, 10K & 8K runs. In
celebration of the running
tradition here on Hopi, the
Hopi Special Diabetes Program takes pride in how
far this event has come.
The first event was held
in 2007 with a 10 mile run
and a one and two mile fun
run/walk. The vision was
to expand the event and offer longer distance runs to
allow runners of all levels
to take on the unique challenges that the trails hold
within the area of the Hopi
Wellness Center. If you
were to ask any past participant of the TAAWAKI
Trail Run on either run,
you will likely get the same
response that no matter
how many times they have
run the course(s), there is

ning skills each time; and
still holds the great scenic
views found here on Hopi.
The TAAWAKI Trail
Run is a noncompetitive
event that promotes “Lolmat’ovi Nanamungwa”;
which in general terms
translates to “Running
for Everything Good in
Life”. Running is a personal journey that tests the
inner spirit and strength to
endure the hard challenges
along the course. “Lolmat’ovi
Nanamungwa”
can also take on a deeper
meaning to any runner and
is a common prayer that is
taken onto the course to
clear one’s mind, strengthen one’s mind and body,
and pray that in the end,
there will be good things
to celebrate. Our Special
Diabetes Program team
and all the volunteers welcome runners of all levels;
from the elite to those who
just like to be outdoors and

The TAAWAKI Trail
Run is just one of the
many activities that the
Hopi Special Diabetes
Program has to offer. We
also take pride in the beautiful Fitness Center that is
available to the public at
no charge. You can’t beat
that!
Other fun events
hosted by the program are
Zumba Fitness Parties,
Group Fitness Classes, Enhance Fitness Classes (for
the senior population), 100
Mile Club fun run/walks,
and the Hopi Tribal Employee Wellness Program,
to name a few. We love
to see new faces and enjoy
seeing dedicated participants at the Fitness Center
and in our events. We encourage everyone to come
check it out, but most importantly, to make physical activity a part of daily
living. For information on
the TAAWAKI Trail Run,
registration deadlines, and

ty,you may contact our office at (928) 734-3432.
“When your legs can’t
run anymore, RUN WITH
YOUR HEART!” We look
forward to seeing you on
October 4 for the TAAWAKI Trail Run!!!

November is Diabetes Awareness Month; and the Hopi
Special Diabetes Program will be hosting a Diabetes
Expo on Nov. 2, from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. at the Hopi
Veteran’s Memorial Center. An expo educates consumers on diabetes, healthy eating, active living, and overall
wellness all under one roof. This free event is open to the
general public; anyone interested in learning more about
their health should attend and take advantage of all the
information that will be made available.
Our hopes are that the Expo will educate and motivate
people to adopt healthful habits to reduce the impact of
obesity and Type 2 diabetes on our Hopi/Tewa community. For some it will mean looking at ways to improve the
health of their families and feeling better about making
those changes.
The Diabetes Expo will include:
• Health screenings/foot checks
• Dialysis demonstration
• A1C tests
• Blood pressure screenings/Blood
sugar testing (no fasting req’d)
• Exercise demonstrations
• Massages
• Cooking demos
ongatoki wild spinach

The motivational speaker for the event is Nephi Craig,
Executive Chef at Sunrise Park Resort; founder of the
Native American Culinary Association. He is interested
in exploring the many aspects and applications of Native
food ways. He states that, “Native foods are not a trend;
they are a way to recover our communities and decolonize ourselves.” Nephi is always a breath of fresh air and
is very passionate about bringing native traditional foods
and produce back to the table.
There will be informational booths on Tobacco Prevention, Substance Abuse, Cancer Support Services, gardening, and much more!
Come join us on Nov. 2, 2015 from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.;

jumped to a 34-0 bulge in
the first quarter and went
on to whip Monument
Valley-Utah 48-6 in high
school football action Sept.
18 at Bruin Stadium.
Hopi High improved to
4-0 as they remain undefeated in Raleigh Namoki’s
inaugural season as head
coach.
It took Hopi a bit more
than two minutes to break
into the scoring column
when Issah Panana-Wytewa rambled 25 yards for
the touchdown. The run
failed to get the conversion points, but the Bruins
led 6-0 with 9:27 remaining in the first period. Panana-Wytewa also setup
the TD with a 17 yard run
that included breaking two
tackles.
On its first possession,
the Cougars moved the

ball from their own 38 to
the Hopi 39 before giving
the ball over on downs. On
the next play, the elusive
Panana-Wytewa took off
on a 61 yard TD run. Irvin
Chee Jr. ran in the conversion points as Hopi led
14-0 with 6:08 left in the
first quarter.
Two plays later Hopi’s
Wyatt Howard intercepted
a Cougar pass and the Bruins took over at the Monument Valley 44 yard line.
After a two yard loss, Panana-Wytewa took off on a
46 yard TD run. Chee ran
in the conversion points as
the Bruins led 22-0 with
4:32 to go in the opening
stanza.
Three plays later, Howard intercepted an errant
pass and returned it 30
yards to paydirt. A run attempt failed for the conversion points, but Hopi
jumped ahead 28-0 with
3:34 remaining in the first
quarter.

Hopi recovered a fumble
on the ensuing onside kick,
then marched 45 yards in
five plays. Panana-Wytewa
scored on a 32 yard run. A
pass failed on the conversion points attempt, but the
Bruins led 34-0 with 19
seconds left in the opening
period.
Hopi started using its
substitutes in the second
quarter. Later in the period, Monument Valley was

Jeanine Gaseoma named Miss Hopi High Princess
Amber Polacca
Bruin Times Staff
Jeanine Gaseoma, the
new Miss Hopi High Princess, said that becoming
Miss Hopi High is a good
opportunity for her to
travel to different places
to talk to new people and
give speeches. She also
said becoming Miss Hopi
High is a good way to represent her school.
Becoming Miss Hopi
High is important to Gaseoma because it gives her a
chance to express who she

is and where she comes
from. It is also important
to her because it helps people understand that she is a
good hard working young
lady, and helpful to people
in her community.
When Gaseoma goes to
college, she would like to
major in special education
and physical therapy. She
is interested in becoming a
special needs teacher. She
is also interested in physical therapy. That way she
can help people who may
be struggling in life. She is
not sure what college she
wants to attend, but she

would go to any college as
long as it is off the reservation.
For Gaseoma’s talent,
she sang a Yaa-ni-wa song
that talked about a gentle
rain coming down the east
mountain in New Mexico.
The rain was coming to
bring water to Hopi crops
and moisture to the earth.
As Miss Hopi High, Gaseoma will represent the
school and community.
She said students should
stay out of trouble, and
represent Hopi High in a
good way.
As Miss Hopi High,

Gaseoma considers herself
a role model. She tries her
best to do anything that
helps. Her role model in
life is her sister because
her sister pushes her to do
the best. Her sister helps
her when she is struggling.
Gaseoma said she is the
best in the world.
When her friends and
family found out she won
they were happy. Her parents were proud of her
for doing a good job. She
was also congratulated
by many her relatives,
friends, teachers and classmates.

Hopi High School Junior Reserve Officer Training helps students become successful
Amber Labahe
Bruin Times Staff
Charmaine Kinale, public information officer for Hopi High
School Junior Reserve Officer
Training Corps, said “ JROTC
has been going great this year.
We’ve been planning the Piestewa Invite, fundraising for the
Las Vegas trip and teaching the

cadets to learn new techniques.”
JROTC sent a small group of
color guards to Winslow for the
9/11 event.
Events in the future are yet to
be planned like the Piestewa Invite and football games for the
color guard. The biggest events
in the program are the Piestewa
Invite, Las Vegas trip and the
Winslow parade.

“The program motivates
young people to become better
citizens,” Kinale said.
The cadet leaders for the program are Battalion Commander
Avery Honytewa and Executive
Officer Tyler Tewawina. The
teachers are Senior Army Instructor Major James Cox and
Assistant Sgt. Joe DeLeon.
“Parents support their kids to

stay motivated and disciplined.
This helps students change their
actions, as in being professional
and serious,” she said.
JROTC helps students in the
program by not letting them
make mistakes in the future or
becoming criminals. Becoming
successful in life are their goals.
JROTC cadets travel to many locations.

“Getting involved is what I
enjoy about being here. We’re

BIA Hopi Police and Substance Abuse
program host Community Night Out event
By: Crystal Dee
The Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA) Hopi Police
Department hosted its 1st
Annual Community Night
Out event on Sept. 27, in
conjunction with Hopi Recovery Month and Hopi
Substance Abuse Prevention Center.
“The Community Night
Out Event is a national
community-police building
campaign that promotes
police-community partnerships and neighborhood
camaraderie to make our
neighborhoods safer, better
places to live,” said Hopi
BIA Police Chief Jamie
Kootswatewa. “It also includes interaction with officers and their families, and
families within the community.”
The event began with a

walk in recognition of National Recovery Walk &
Law Enforcement Support
Walk from Old Oraibi and
the Hopi Tribe Administration Building that ended at
Hopi Day School where the
event took place.
Local and County agencies; Hopi Tribal Department of Public Safety
& Emergency Services
(DPSES), Hopi Emergency Services (EMS), BIA
Fire Department, Navajo
County Sheriff’s Office,
the Hopi Substance Abuse
Prevention Center and
Hopi Chairman Herman
G. Honanie, were present
at the event and had educational booths and activities.
Kootswatewa said he invited Hopi Resource Enforcement Services (HRES) to
participate in the event and
could not speak to why they
were not present.

Food was served was
served at the event along
with some entertainment
by a local rock/heavy
metal band, Descendants.
Kootswatewa jokingly said
they just returned from
their European Tour with
Metallica; he added that
he wanted to do something
different and invited them.
“I encourage the community members and individuals who have interest in
what police officers do to
come over to the police department,” said Kootswatewa. “We encourage feedback from the community
to let us know how we are
doing so that we can improve in those areas.”
Honanie said the event
was a good way to speak
to the issue of sobriety and
was a big step in speaking
out against alcohol, drug
and substance abuse.

“Hopi to stand proud and
let it be known that we have
these agencies here to work
on behalf of the community
and to work together, but I
think we as a community to
understand their role and
continue to support them
because they are very dedicated,” said Honanie. “It
would have been nice to
see HRES present because
it’s important to see every- BIA Police Officer Emerson Ami takes finger prints of

them.”
Honanie said he supports
all the Law Enforcement
Officers and they are the
ones who are called upon
first and the people owe it
to them and support them.
“As Hopi people we owe
it to ourselves to support
events like this and we
come from a strong culture,” said Honanie.

Scheduling care at Hopi Veterinary Services

Dr. Carol Yeisley
Hopi Veterinarian Service

Scheduling for Care at
the Hopi Veterinary Service
The Hopi Veterinary
Services has a veterinarian on staff full time and is
now able to offer routine
preventive care services to
the Hopi community. In order for the clinic to be able
to operate effectively we
are offering services on an
APPOINTMENT BASIS.
Why? Because although
there is a full time veterinarian for the service, there
is NOT always availability
to see clients at the clinic
as walk-in only basis due
to other duties and services
the veterinarian must attend to. This applies to both
small and large animal services, and especially our
new procedure for handling herd health requests.
Given the distances many
travel to reach the clinic
it is BEST for everyone to
adhere to an appointment
policy in order to provide
effective services. It also
assures that the veterinarian is available to see clients when we are able to
have appointments scheduled. Although we will try
to accommodate walk-in
emergencies, routine care
SHOULD be scheduled by
appointment for veterinary
services. Clients should
call the business office at
928-738-5251 to schedule
appointments for services.
An important policy that
is now strictly adhered to
is that in order for any prescription or other regulated
medicines to be administered or dispensed, the animal MUST be seen by the
veterinarian. It is a standard of veterinary medical practice that an animal
MUST be examined and
evaluated BY A DOCTOR
before any treatments can
be initiated. Most small

animal vaccines and medications can only be administered or prescribed
by a licensed veterinarian.
Although there are certain
large animal vaccines, supplements and medicines
that are available over the
counter, proper medical
record documentation REQUIRES that the licensed
veterinarian record certain information in a herd
health protocol that is then
maintained at the veterinary clinic. This is a key
reason why requests for
herd health services will
now be following a clear
protocol for proper documentation in a medical record as needed.
Large Animal Services
The Hopi Veterinary
Service clinic DOES NOT
have a large animal surgery facility. Only limited
surgical and diagnostic
procedures which can be
provided under the current
open field conditions can
be offered at the facility.
Routine preventative care
is a key part of providing
for large animal health.
Developing and designing good herd health and
management plans and
encouraging livestock producers to follow a good
management protocol are
important parts of large animal health. As part of our
efforts to provide consistent service, it is important
for livestock producers to
communicate directly with
the veterinarian to determine herd health program
needs. The veterinary clinic is not able to maintain
the same inventory levels
as a farm supply store and
therefore in order for the
clinic to have supplies for
scheduled herd health services available, we need to
establish certain policies to
maintain reasonable inventory. All livestock producers who wish to purchase
their over the counter vac-

cines and supplements for
herd health through the
veterinary clinic should
call at least 2 weeks IN
ADVANCE to order their
supplies so that those items
can be ordered to assure
their supplies are available
for them. It is also recommended that those needing
to have ear tags should
also call ahead to verify we
have the correct tags available as there are different
tags for cattle, sheep and
goats and depend on the
specifics of the herd/flock
involved. Each livestock
client must also have on
file a registration form and
provide information regarding their herd size, location, and other important
management information
to enable the veterinary
service to determine the
scope of services possibly
needed.
For horse owners it is
also recommended to call
to schedule routine services in advance to be certain vaccines and medications are in stock, and that
the clinic has the necessary
equipment to perform certain procedures. Microchipping is also available
and recommended for all
horses as a form of unique
identification which will
simplify Coggins testing
reports and other certificates. The clinic will be
keeping a small inventory
of routine over the counter equine medications in
stock but again this is not
going to be a full line farm
store inventory.
Small Animal Services
Regular yearly examinations and vaccinations for
dogs and cats are available
by appointment. Puppy
and kitten check–ups, and
spay and neuter surgery
are also available by appointment. Sick or injured
animals will be seen but
we still recommend calling to get an appointment

Animal ownership provides a
number of benefits to both the
animal and their human caretaker. The positive benefits of
animal companions have been
well documented. However,
one needs to remember that an
animal companion is not a disposable commodity. They are
living beings that require their
owner make a commitment
to provide for their care and
well-being for their life span.
Responsible animal owners
make a commitment to their
animals to invest the time and
money to provide for their care
and well-being.
First, avoid impulse decisions. Consider whether the
animal you are taking ownership of fits within your lifestyle. Consider if your home
provides adequate space. Consider if you are financially able
to commit to providing basic
necessities such as food, water
and shelter, AND preventative
medical care. You need to establish a relationship with a
veterinarian to provide for your
animal’s medical care needs.
Routine examinations, vaccinations, and other preventive care
are essential to maintain your
animal’s health. Annual vaccinations and a physical exam
are key to the animal’s well being. Horses need vaccination,
hoof care and often dental care.
You must also be prepared for
unexpected illness and injury
and the associated expenses.
This is also a reason to keep in
mind how many and what type
animals you can comfortably

ning at 6 to 8 weeks of age.
Rabies is done after 12 weeks
of age. ANNUAL BOOSTERS
ARE NEEDED for vaccines as
the first set is not a lifelong vaccination. Horses and other animals also require regular vaccinations and all animals should
be treated regularly to prevent
parasites.
Secondly, it is important
that your animals not become
a nuisance to others or have a
negative impact on your community or the environment.
Proper training and socialization are key elements. Preventing your animals from wandering as strays or becoming feral
is very important. Appropriate
waste management as well as
noise control helps protect the
environment. Help prevent unwanted offspring by spaying or
neutering your animals, confining them appropriately, or only
have well planned breeding of
valuable animals. It does not
benefit anyone for animals to
reproduce and then their offspring are abandoned or discarded inhumanely because
someone was not responsible
about spaying or neutering
or planning how to find good
homes for the offspring.
Make certain your animals
are properly identified with a
collar and tags, tattoo or microchip implant, and that any
required registration or license
has been obtained. Microchipping is a great way to ensure
identification and also allows
a better chance of recovering
your animal if lost or stolen.
