Hopi Tribal Woman Member from

Tewa Village Beats COVID-19

Romalita Laban, Managing Editor

Polacca, Ariz. – Sunday, May 31, 2020,

after just over a couple weeks of learning

that Jacqueline Nahee, an enrolled member of the Hopi Tribe, had recovered from

and beat Covid-19, as Managing Editor of

the Hopi Tutuveni, I reached out to Nahee.

I connected to Nahee and shared that I

recently received results from the CVOD19 test I took at the Hopi Health Care Center – IHS (HHCC- IHS) and that I tested

negative for COVID-19. She knew I have

also been following her progress on social

media. Since she shared on May 9, 2020

on social media about receiving a positive

test result and what she experienced in

her recovery from the deadly virus, I have

been looking forward to learning of her

rebound.

I requested permission to share her May

9, 2020 social media post on Facebook.

On the post Jacqueline, known as G-O to

family and friends, reference her ordeal of

testing positive for COVID-19, the symptoms she experienced and then eventually

recovering.

Since she already made the information

public, it made asking to share her story

much easier. In fact, she replied, “First of

all I’m so happy with your negative result.

You are more than welcome to share my

story. I’m always willing to help in some

way. Keep running those hills, I believe

running is medicine.”

Another reason, I reached out to her is

due to not seeing or reading about Hopi

Tribal members who have recovered

during this pandemic. Although we have

been informed about the COVID-19 data

regarding Hopi Tribal members being

tested at HHCC-IHS, the number of positives, negatives and those still pending,

and some data for some Hopi Villages,

there hasn’t been any reporting about how

many of those with the positive cases have

recovered.

Jacqueline Nahee comes from Tewa Vil-

lage, originally known as Hanoki, located

on First Mesa, and is an enrolled member of the Hopi Tribe. First Mesa is one

of three mesas located on the easterly end

of the Hopi reservation, which has three

Hopi villages located “on top.” The Hopi

Tribe’s Department of Health and Human

Services (HDHHS) is currently describing

First Mesa villages as “Polacca Walpi-Sitsom’ovi-Tewa” when listing data about

Hopi tribal members from those villages

however it is not distinguishing data for

each village in particular.

It is important to note that Nahee was

not tested at the HHCC-IHS, so her particular case would not be included in what

HHCC-IHS is reporting to the Hopi Tribe.

It remains unclear whether her case would

be included in what the HDHHS – Hopi

Tribe reports, either. At this point, contact

has not been made to either organization

to confirm, however, due to HIPPA laws,

I don’t believe either organization would

share that information with Hopi Tutuveni

anyway.

All that aside, I thought it would be a

positive step towards informing and educating the Hopi Tutuveni readers about

how other Hopi Tribal members have

found the courage, not only to get tested but to share their experience, as well.

This allows for others to have something

to relate to and can know and believe that

recovery is happening for our very own

people. It is hopeful to know that those

testing positive do recover and are not just

a number in all the COVID-19 data being

shared.

Nahee is an avid marathon runner and

has completed the Boston Marathon in

the recent past. She comes from a family

of strong runners. Jackie currently lives

and works in Winslow, Ariz. for the project SNTEPP, which stands for Southwest

Navajo Tobacco Education Prevention

Program and is funded by the Black Hills

Center for American Indian Health (BHCAIH) and according to the BHCAIH,

the mission of SNTEPP is: “The Southwest Navajo Tobacco Education Prevention Project’s primary goal is to improve

the health of Navajo people living on

the Navajo Nation with a primary focus

on children through commercial tobacco

prevention, cessation, and policies, while

respecting traditional practices and ceremonies associated with tobacco use.” The

program involves educating the young

about smoking, training and prevention

initiatives. Jackie has worked in the past

for the Hopi Tribe under direct leadership

of Hopi Tribal Chairman Wayne Taylor,

Jr., as well.

With a few minor edits to give context

for readers, below are Jacqueline’s posts:

Posted - May 9, 2020 12:46 p.m. “Good

afternoon! I am thankful for another

beautiful day. Now that I have informed

my mom, I feel it’s time to let you all know

that a couple weeks ago I tested positive

for Covid-19. I was Asymptomatic with

only a headache which started about 3

weeks ago [approximately April 18th.]

I let my guard down. A few days later,

the person I was exposed to, tested positive for the virus. Once I was informed,

I went to the clinic, but couldn’t be tested

due to [no] symptoms. However, I knew

I had it. Finally, two weeks from tomorrow [around April 26th] I went back to

the clinic and insisted that I be tested although I still had no symptoms. Two days

later I was informed that I was positive for

the virus. One good thing was that I was

already practicing social distancing and

wearing a mask, so I knew I didn’t infect

anyone. I was still able to go on my runs

to check my breathing and if I came across

someone, I’d move to the other side of the

road to keep my distance. I had my bad

days and late nights where I would get this

feeling of being in a daze or light headed.

I called it that “ugly feeling.” When I did

get that ugly feeling, I would go walk or

jog regardless of what time of the day it

was, at night I would clean. It’s been al-

most a week now where I have not felt that

ugly feeling. I was retested yesterday and

awaiting the results. I just want to express

how important it is to exercise, because I

strongly believe that it got me through this,

take your vitamins and know your body.

Walking, running, biking, leg lifts, lifting,

etc. anything to move your body. I’m not

seeking sympathy but awareness that this

virus is for real and should be taken seriously. I am fortunate that I have such

great friends Vanessa Kvien, Emily Kewanimptewa and Terri Little who brought

me groceries, dinner, support, also, my

loving sisters for checking on me every

day. And my boss Dr. Patricia Nez Henderson who [help] me with controlling my

emotions and being there all hours of the

day and night, when I needed to talk. Mom

has been through so much so I kept it from

her. With that said, please be careful, stay

home, wash your hands, no visitors, wear

your mask, no hugs, but stay in touch with

loved ones via phone, internet. I thought

sharing my story will help in some way. I

love you all.”

Posted - May 15 at 6:08 p.m. “Good

Evening! Today I got retested...Negative! I beat Covid-19. Thank you for your

prayers, please continue to pray for all

those who have this awful virus. Again, I

would like to emphasize the importance

of social distancing, wearing your mask,

washing your hands and staying home.

Love you all.”

Nahee has continued running throughout her illness and is still going strong and

ran 13.1 miles on the day the article was

being written. Hopi Tutuveni appreciates

Jacqueline Nahee’s willingness to share

her story and wishes her continued good

health now and throughout her life. For

all those being impacted by COVID-19,

we send positives and a quick and speedy

recovery from the illness and/or any losses experienced from the contagious virus.

Stay hopeful, be safe, be well and wash

your hands. – Uma nahongvitotani.

UPDATE – Hopi Tribal Council Holds May 21, 2020 Special Meeting and

June 1, 2020 Third Quarter Session at Hopi Jr./Sr. High School

Romalita Laban, Managing Editor

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – Monday, June 1,

2020 Hopi Tutuveni and KUYI Hopi Radio staff were present at the Hopi Jr./Sr.

High School once again for the Hopi Tribal

Council’s Third Quarter Session.

Hopi Chairman Timothy L. Nuvangyaoma called the meeting to order at 10:17 a.m.

and presided while Roll Call was completed

by Barbara Lomayestewa, Hopi Tribal Secretary Staff Assistant determined that those

in the room and those on the telephone and

connected via Zoom established a quorum

with nineteen (19) present and/or online or

connected by phone.

All the First Mesa Consolidated Village

(FMCV) Representatives present in the

Hopi Bruin’s Den which included Albert T.

Sinquah, Wallace Youvella, Sr., Dale Sinquah, and Wallace Youvella, Jr.

Also in the room was Hopi Vice Chairman

Clark W. Tenakhongva, Merwin Kooyahoema - Village of Mishongnovi Representative, Rosa Honanie - Village of Sipaulavi

Representative, Clifford Qotsaquahu – Village of Bakabi Representative, the Village

of Kyakotsmovi Representatives including

Phillip Quochytewa, Sr., Danny Honanie

and Herman Honanie.

Hopi Tribal Secretary Staff, including

Barbara Lomayestewa, Berdella Nasingoetewa and Violet Sinquah, Sergeant-At-Arms

was also present.

All those present wore face masks and

were aligned to allow for proper social

distancing in the area and in consideration

of CDC guidelines. Hopi Tribal Secretary

staff ensured that there was plenty of hand

sanitizer, wipes, telephonic equipment, and

were set up to conduct Hopi Tribal Council

business complete with having laptops and

microphones ready for the meeting to occur.

The Agenda was being followed in order by Chairman Nuvangyaoma who asked

Vice Chairman Tenakhongva to provide the

Invocation and proceeded to add his own

words after Vice Chairman spoke.

Preliminary and usual business included

on the Agenda was addressed with a few

fluctuations in the order of Agenda sections

before Announcements, Minutes and Calendar Planning sections were addressed.

During the Announcement Section, Robert Charley, Village of Upper Moenkopi

Representative who was calling in on the

phone, made an announcement to the Council that the Hopi Tribal Housing Authority

was entertaining a resolution from FMCV

for a project, which he referred to as “kind

of unusual and unorthodox” before continuing to announce that FMCV wants to build

with the help of a consultant, a dialysis center and “10-unit housing” for Coronovirus

patients. Charley also mentioned, “Just let

the people be aware of it, even if they say

it is shovel-ready, have to meet with all the

landowners…”

Chairman Nuvangyaoma proceeded to

announce he was moving onto “Number 8

Minutes” to which he announced the Secretary indicated no minutes were available for

approval before realizing he skipped over

the Correspondence section of the agenda

and proceeded by asking Barbara Lomayestewa, Secretary Staff to read all correspondence into record.

There were five items read into record

which included three letters and couple of

memorandums. The letters included those

from First Mesa Kikmongwi regarding

meeting with the Chairman, a letter from

the Village of Shungopavi to the Chairman

and a letter from Chairman Nuvangyaoma to the Council regarding meeting with

CDC officials. The letter from the Village

of Shungopavi was not fully read into record by Secretary staff as it was described

as being addressed to the Chairman and not

necessarily the Council.

After discussion surrounding Committee

meetings and dates, Committee Chairpersons were asked to submit Committee meeting dates, via email, to the Secretary’s office

for dissemination as part of the Calendar

Planning section of business.

After some going back and forth with

Representatives on the phone lines and with

some inaudible remarks, Chairman Nuvangyaoma reminded Council that his goal was

to get through the preliminary business of

opening up the Third Quarter Session and

getting the Agenda approved.

With the reminder from the Chairman

spoken, Wallace Youvella, Sr., FMCV Representative then made a motion to approve

the Agenda with the addition of the “CDC

letter from the Chairman and letter from

First Mesa Kikmongwi.” Albert T. Sinquah,

FMCV Representative announced a second

to the motion. The motion was put to a vote

and it passed with no opposing or abstention

votes.

The Chairman then went into announcing he would be recessing the meeting until Monday, June 8th at 10:00 a.m. and that

another area is being proposed at the Tribal

Chambers. He also mentioned that others

are working on technical difficulties there

and are yet to be determined.

Before the Chairman could continue, Albert T. Sinquah, FMCV Representative then

proceeded to make a motion to recess until

9 a.m. and mentioned he didn’t think the

Chairman can recess before the Chairman

mentioned, “It is normally up to the discretion of the Chairman, so going ahead and

recessing at 11:09.”

Prior to the June 1st Hopi Tribal Council

session a Special Meeting was conducted by

HTC from May 21st through May 22nd and

continued again on May 26th through May

27th.

The Special Meeting was to address New

Business items listed on the April 29, 2020

Agenda as:

1.Discussion/Action – Hopi Tribal Council’s Budget Modification to purchase teleconference capability;

2.Discussion/Action – List Hopi Tribal

Council Members as essential workers and

provide access to Tribal Facilities as required.

3.Discussion/Action – Additional funding provided by Congress for COVID 19 to

and CARES Act funding and the forming

of a committee to determine how funding

Cont. HTC session article

Some of the “Briefs to Council” were addressed by having some individuals present via Zoom and phone while

others were allowed to submit written Briefs to Council.

Hopi Tutuveni has been prepared to cover any Hopi Tribal Council meetings to provide updates to readers on actions being taken by Tribal Council. However, attempts by

the Hopi Tribal Secretary’s Office to hold Tribal Council

meetings have failed until recently with the Special Meeting session and the Third Quarter session being held at the

HJSHS Bruin’s Den and mostly due to the Hopi Tribal government phone system and technical issues with teleconference lines. The following is a list of dates on which Hopi

Tribal Council attempted to meet and reasons for meetings

not occurring:

Tuesday, April 28, 2020 – Hopi Tribe phone system down

due to hardware issues.

Friday, May 8, 2020 9:00 a.m. – Hopi Tribe phone system

technical difficulties apparently due to “getting a hit” during

a recent rain storm and according to Chairman Nuvangyaoma. (Meeting rescheduled to Monday, May 11, 2020)

Monday, May 11, 2020 9:00 a.m. - Phone system technical difficulties. (Meeting rescheduled to Thursday, May

21, 2020)

Hopi Tutuveni attended a meeting on Monday, May 18,

Hopi Tutuveni June 3, 2020

2020 at the Hopi Jr./Sr. High School where some Hopi Tribal Council representatives, Hopi Tribal Secretary staff, Hopi

Chairman Nuvangyaoma and Hopi Vice Chairman Tenakhongva all joined to do a test run of holding a Council meeting in the Hopi Bruins Den – Cafeteria while meeting social

distancing requirements, as much as possible.

HJSHS technology staff, KUYI Hopi Radio staff and

Hopi Tutuveni were also in attendance making sure all the

technical aspects were covered and to cover the progress

being made to ensure Hopi Tribal Council had internet and

email access, the phone system was accessible and any

Tribal Council representatives choosing to dial-in or log

into a Zoom type meeting could do so, as well. The next

Hopi Tribal Council meeting scheduled to occur on Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. and which the public will

be allowed to listen in via KUYI Hopi Radio at 88.1FM did

occur.

We will do our best to cover the meeting as well and hope

before the meeting occurs, to have received an updated

Hopi Tribal Council Agenda for the rescheduled meeting.

Although we would like to keep Hopi Tutuveni readers

up to date, informed and educated about issues affecting

them, until we receive word from Hopi Tribe’s Management Information Systems and Facilities Department about

after hours/weekend access, we cannot promise any updates

during any other times.

Until we receive communications about internet, email

and Risk Management Building access the Hopi Tutuveni

is being seriously impacted in its ability to bring up to date

information to Hopi Tutuveni readers and users of the webpage.

While it is critically important that we do our part to

prevent and control the spread of the highly contagious

COVID-19 virus, the June 3, 2020 publication is scheduled

for distribution only to local stores, post offices and areas

accessible by the public for food and other essentials during

the Stay-at-Home Order for all residents of the Hopi Reservation. In addition, a limited amount of printed copies will

be provided to the Shungopavi Security check point staff, to

hand out to residents upon entrance to the village and until

the supply is depleted.

Hopi Tutuveni office remains closed to the public and in

accordance with the Tribal Government shutdown requirements through June 20, 2020. Hopi Tutuveni staff can be

reached at 928-734-3281 or 928-401-6435 and e-mails can

be sent to rlaban@hopi.nsn.us from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Monday – Friday.

Say their names & tell their stories

(AP Photo/Noah Berger, File)

Associate Press/Staff and wire reports

In Baltimore, protesters shouted the name of Freddie

Gray. In Topeka, Kansas, T-shirts were emblazoned with

the name of Dominique White. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, people gathered in a spot where white mobs killed hundreds

of blacks a century ago and chanted the name of Terence

Crutcher.

Across the U.S. as protesters poured into the streets to

voice anger about last week's death of George Floyd, they

also marked the occasion with reminders that the handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as on officer pinned

him to the pavement with his knee on his neck is simply

the latest addition to a grim roster.

Their stories have substantial differences, but protesters used their names and faces on posters to drive home

the point that Floyd is part of a larger story about the dangers of being black in the United States.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention Native Americans are more likely to be

killed by police than any other group, including African

Americans, 3.1 times more likely than white Americans.

An investigation by Stephanie Woodward writing In

These Times called out so many of the names that need

to be said.

"Suquamish Tribe descendant Jeanetta Riley, a 34-yearold mother of four, lay face down on a Sandpoint, Idaho street. One minute earlier, three police officers had

arrived, summoned by staff at a nearby hospital. Her

husband had sought help there because Riley—homeless, pregnant and with a history of mental illness—was

threatening suicide," Woodward wrote. “'Drop the knife!'

they yelled, advancing, then opened fire. They pumped

two shots into her chest and another into her back as she

fell to the pavement. Fifteen seconds had elapsed from

the time they exited their vehicles."

Woodward's list includes a list of Native men and women who died in police custody and most of their stories

are not carried on signs at marches or in media reports.

"On the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe’s reservation in

South Dakota, an angry crowd marched on police headquarters after tribal member Phillip High Bear’s mother

alleged her 33-year-old son was beaten to death there,"

Woodward wrote about his 2015 death. "Protestors sang,

drummed and shouted taunting references to the 1890

shooting death of Lakota spiritual leader Sitting Bull at

the hands of Native police officers."

"George Floyd is causing people in their own communities to recall, reflect and then get angry all over again

about their own police killings,“ said Marshall Hatch, a

Chicago minister who eulogized Bettie Jones, who was

struck by a bullet from an officer responding to a domestic dispute at a neighbor's house that also left 19-year-old

Quintonio LeGrier dead in 2015.

Hatch said Floyd's death has served as a reminder to

continue to push for justice in deaths throughout the

country. He said that on Wednesday, he and other religious leaders plan to gather outside police headquarters

to demand the officer who was fired after fatally shooting

Jones and LeGrier also face criminal charges.

"There is a lot of feelings of incomplete justice all over

the country," he said.

Allisa Findley, whose brother, Botham Jean, was killed

in 2018 inside his apartment by a white Dallas police officer who said she mistook his apartment for her own told

WFAA television in Dallas, "It is like pouring salt into an

open wound every time there is another case."

"Yes, it's a different name, but it's the same situation,"

Findley said

In New York, many protesters shouted, "I can't

breathe," a reminder that the words Floyd said in his last

moments of life echoed what Eric Garner, stopped by police in New York City's Staten Island for allegedly selling

untaxed cigarettes, said when a police officer put him in

what appeared to be a chokehold in 2014.

One of the first things Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot

said publicly about Floyd's death was that it brought back

to her the pain that the city felt in 2015 when a video of a

white police officer shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald was released.

In Oakland, California, protesters gathered at Oscar

Grant Plaza, named for the 22-year-old who was pulled

by police from a Bay Area Rapid Transit train early on

New Year's Day 2009 and killed in one of the first police

shootings captured on video by bystanders.

Grant's mother, Wanda Johnson, could not help but

think of her son when she saw a bystander's video of

Floyd's final moments.

"It brought back so many memories of them trying to

demonize him, then trying to have other officers there

and none trying to control the situation," Johnson told

KRON-TV in the Bay Area.

In Baltimore, it was impossible not to think of what

happened in 2015 — from the death of 25-year-old Fred-

die Gray after he suffered major spinal injuries while being transported in a police van to the unrest that followed.

"It was a stark reminder of our own city's trauma," Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young told the Baltimore Sun.

While Gray's name has remained part of the national

conversation about police treatment of blacks, what has

been striking is that demonstrations in every corner of the

country tell their own piece of a larger story.

Terence Crutcher was fatally shot in 2016 by a white

police officer, Betty Shelby, who was later acquitted of

manslaughter.

"If you all could just scream at the top of your lungs

and let Terence know that you still care, that you haven't

forgotten," his twin sister, Tiffany Crutcher, told a Tulsa

crowd.

Michael Ramos, described by friends and family as

black and Hispanic, was fatally shot by Austin, Texas,

police in April as the 42-year-old drove away from officers after first being shot with a beanbag. The shooting

remains under investigation, and Ramos' mom, Brenda

Ramos, questioned why the officer who shot him hasn't

been arrested or at least suspended.

"Now I am in this terrible heartbreaking club," Ramos'

mom, Brenda Ramos, told reporters over the weekend.

"It's a club of mothers of black Americans who have been

murdered by police."

On Monday in Phoenix a state trooper saw a 28-yearold man, Dion Johnson, passed out in the vehicle on a

freeway. The trooper shot and killed Johnson, reporting

a struggle.

In Topeka, protests included the shouts of, "Say his

name! Dominique White." The 30-year-old Topeka man

was armed when officers, responding to a report of gunfire, confronted him and fatally shot him in 2017. While

an internal police investigation found the officers followed department policies, protesters still have questions, as do relatives who have filed a lawsuit.

In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo posted a slide with

the names of many black men killed or abused by police

in cities around the nation.

"You are blind, or in denial, if you are still treating each

one like a unique situation," he said at his Saturday morning press briefing. "How many times have we seen the

same situation?

"Yes, the names change. But the color doesn't."

Davids, Haaland stand in solidarity with

Black community following killing of

George Floyd

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey

declares state of emergency,

issues curfew to last all week

George Floyd - Credit by original post

News Release

Press Pool

For Indian Country Today

Office of Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS-03)

Office of Representative Debra Haaland

(D-NM-01)

Yesterday, Representatives Sharice Davids (KS-03) and Deb Haaland (NM-01),

the first two Native American women to

serve in Congress, released the following statement in solidarity with the Black

community:

“We share in the heartbreak and pain

felt by millions across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd, as

well as the countless other Black Americans who have died at the hands of brutality and injustice in this country. We mourn

for the lives lost, for the families grieving,

and for every person who has been affected by the systemic, pervasive injustices

across the United States.

“The pain our country feels is rooted

in generations of institutional racism. We

recognize that the anger in our communities is a sincere and justifiable reaction to

the long-standing failure to reform those

institutions–especially our criminal justice

system. Even amid a global pandemic that

is disproportionality impacting people of

color, the circumstances are too much for

many to bear silently or alone.

“It is inspiring to see people come together to stand up for each other and demand justice. At the same time, a very

small minority are compounding this pain

by resorting to further violence and destruction. As President Obama said today,

‘If we want our criminal justice system,

and American society at large, to operate

on a higher ethical code, then we have to

model that code ourselves.’

“Though we will never know the experience of being Black in America, we

know that Indian Country stands in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters

— committed to fighting for justice and

channeling our frustration into meaningful action and change. Together we can

build a more equitable and just society —

one that lives up to the ideals we expect of

our nation.”

PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has issued a statewide declaration of

emergency, setting a curfew starting at 8

p.m. Sunday and lasting each night for one

week.

Ducey said local leaders made the request. “This gives law enforcement an

additional tool to prevent the lawlessness

we’ve seen here and in cities nationwide,”

according to a Sunday afternoon tweet.

“Police will be equipped to make arrests

of individuals who are planning to riot,

loot or cause damage and unrest.”

Ducey also announced that the Arizona

National Guard will mobilize to “protect

life and property” throughout the state.

The daily curfew will last until 5 a.m.

Those exempt include public safety and

medical personnel, individuals traveling

to and from work and people patronizing

or operating private businesses, according

to the declaration.

It also states that “during the hours of

curfew, all persons are prohibited from

using, standing, sitting, traveling or being

present on any public street or in any public place.”

Protests in Arizona turned violent this

weekend.

On Saturday evening, Scottsdale police

declared an unlawful assembly after protesters began damaging businesses near

Scottsdale Fashion Square.

Officers arrested 12 people, and the department said protesters caused “millions

of dollars in damages and theft,” according to The Arizona Republic.

On Saturday, Phoenix police officials

had warned protesters they would take

swift action if demonstrations turned

criminal. The Saturday news conference

came after a night of destruction in downtown Phoenix Friday night.

Despite the warnings, protesters began

damaging property and setting fires late in

the evening. Phoenix police arrested 114

people on suspicion of rioting and unlawful assembly, according to The Arizona

Republic.

The death of George Floyd has sparked

mass protests nationwide. Floyd, a

46-year-old black man, died after bystander videos showed a Minneapolis police

officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck

for more than eight minutes.

In his Twitter statement, Ducey said he

had been contacting mayors across Arizona “to ensure they have proactive plans to

prevent looting and violence in their cities

tonight and in days to come. This is why

we sought public office. It’s time for leadership, vigilance and action.”

Social media users reacted with mixed

emotions. Some thanked the government.

User Mike Burris replied to Ducey’s announcement with this: “Arizona will stand

together for equal treatment of all races,

but we wont stand for our city to be destroyed!”

However, some users asked for more

details – such as whether the declaration

affects essential workers. Those details

weren’t available early Sunday afternoon.

And some users expressed their frustration. Devora Locke tweeted, “For the

first time since 1968 I feel compelled to

get out on the streets myself and protest.

It’s not just the lawbreakers that this curfew affects, it is everyone with a voice that

needs to be heard.”

Ducey’s office released a statement on

Sunday, saying “destruction of property

does not qualify as freedom of expression,” but vowing that leaders will listen.

“The death of George Floyd is tragic

and abhorrent. It should be condemned by

leaders at all levels - and we should listen

to those who seek to have a civil dialogue

on how to ensure it never happens again,”

according to the statement.

Lets Go Fishing...

By LARRY The CAT

The Hopi Tutuveni

Here on the Hopi reservation we encountered a sickness before. I’m pretty sure

it was smallpox but that was

about 100 years ago, I think?

Our elders have stories from

their childhood when they

were told by their grandparents that a great sickness had

struck the Hopi mesas and that

they didn’t know what to do or

what this sickness was. People

started to die faster than they

could bury them. In one village they started to just throw

the dead in a side cave off the

mesa, because they couldn’t

bury them fast enough. Also,

in another village, they made

a house for the sick and when

a person felt sick, they would

go there to die. I’m pretty sure

the house is still there and

maybe contains the remains of

the sick from a long time ago

but that’s just my guess. And

I’m pretty sure Hopi history or

language class never told that

sad truth about Hopi’s past and

possibly because it is taboo to

talk about death in the Hopi

culture. Hopi is about life so

we tend to focus on the happiness of living the Hopi culture

and it could be a good thing to

only remember the past as a

happy event. I believe though

that we must also learn from

the past, like that of what Hopi

encountered with smallpox, so

we don’t encounter great loss

like that again.

So, in my mind and thoughts,

history is trying to repeat itself. Although, the Hopi people have become smarter to

save the Hopi people and to

preserve our culture. But some

people don’t see it like that, we

see it as our rights being taken

away, because we can’t go visit someone in another village

or we don’t follow rules because we think it’s controlling

or either beneath us. We have

become so lewd to our own

culture that we lost respect to

all rules that were set to keep

us safe. We become like the

white man because we need to

have theater popcorn and we

need to have our nails done

at our favorite nail salon. We

have to think about the future

and what this sickness could

Larry’s Corner

do to us if we don’t listen to

the past, and are destined to

repeat history.

When I was a mush head

kitten, we never heard of anything like this sickness before.

Sure, they taught us about the

different pandemics and epidemics, but they never said

that Hopi had suffered a great

loss in the past, so we were

blind to that past and never

prepared for the now-future.

Of course, no one had any

idea how big this new sickness

would be, but still, we should

have taught ourselves that we

can’t completely be safe from

harm. We just have to prepare

ourselves so we don’t become

written words in the history

books.

I know, by now, most Hopis

are tired of hearing the same

news about this Coronavirus

thing and we are sick of seeing the posted “numbers” on

Facebook about how many are

sick on the Hopi reservation.

But, this just to inform people

about this sickness and that

it’s still here on the Hopi reservation and can wreak havoc if

cautions are not respected and

used to stay healthy.

Sure, some of us will say “I

don’t feel sick” or “I’m not

sick” so let me go to the lake

so I can fish on Memorial Day

weekend with hundreds of

“not sick humans” and I know

some of you did that over that

weekend…Facebook

don’t

lie.

But of course, you can’t stay

home because you feel that

you’re not a risk to anyone.

Sure we can be like a white

man for a day and take all the

risks and bring it all back to

the reservation. Then maybe

we’ll start paying attention

to the “numbers” posted on

Facebook as they start to increase. But go ahead and live

your luxuries for a day like we

have been doing in the recent

past.

In my last article, I said that

this sickness might be just a

warning so we can better prepare ourselves for something

worse to come. It seems to me

that we as Hopi people and

Hopi cats are not “spiritual”

anymore because we like our

holidays and we like fishing,

then we post pictures on social

media saying, “Was a great

weekend, good to get off the

Rez.” So now, we don’t believe in the Great Spirit anymore. Now we believe in the

2-for-1 deals at our favorite

clothing outlet and how many

drive-by drinks we have to

buy in order to get a free coffee drink, but I digress.

So, my advice to you is that

we can keep our luxuries and

keep telling ourselves that

we don’t need to listen to any

rules, because we were never given a curfew before. Or

we could start to understand

that this sickness could only

be a test to what might come.

Don’t let white man’s luxuries

entice you away from your

true Hopi-ness. I know this

“lockdown” is a drag…but

hey look at this way, we get to

save money by eating all the

green veggies that we were

given, and when things get

back to a somewhat “normal”

stage in the year 2020, we can

all go fishing and sing “till the

cows come home”…or whatever the white man says.

Critical Care Response Team Will

Further Enhance Patient Care

Across the Indian Health Service

Indian Health Services

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: (301) 443-3593, newsroom@

ihs.gov

Today, the Indian Health Service is

announcing that it is forming a Critical

Care Response Team of expert physicians, registered nurses, and other healthcare professionals on an as needed basis

to provide urgent lifesaving medical care

to COVID-19 patients admitted to IHS or

tribal hospitals.

These expert medical professionals will

conduct hands-on clinical education while

treating patients, expanding capacity and

training the frontline health care professionals on the most current information

for the management of COVID-19 patients, and other critically ill patients. In

the event a hospital or other medical location needs additional resources, the critical care response team can be mobilized

and at the bedside of the patient within 2448 hours notice.

“A critical care response team will further enhance patient care across the Indian

health system,” said IHS Director Rear

Adm. Michael D. Weahkee. “This is a

positive step in providing access to quality

critical health care services, strengthening

organizational capacity, improving operations and giving additional support to our

frontline health care workers. Additional expert critical care support will assist

IHS hospitals during a crisis and provide

our most vulnerable patients the greatest

chance of survival.”

Hopi Tutuveni June 3, 2020

The IHS is responding to COVID-19

with an all hands on deck approach to address the potential surge in hospitalized

and critically ill patients. For instance,

the IHS is working to rapidly deploy telehealth services as needed to allow critical

care consultation for patients managed in

an IHS intensive care unit, and for critically ill patients receiving care at hospitals

before they transfer to a higher level of

care. The IHS also continues to work with

tribal, state and local partners to operate

alternate care sites using existing buildings for patients who have been transferred from the hospital but still require

some level of medical care. These patients

may require oxygen and medications but

do not require extensive nursing care or

assistance with activities of daily living.

The IHS received over $2.4 billion in

new funding to provide resources that

will support a wide range of COVID-19

response activities across the Indian

health system. The critical care response

team will be staffed through a 12-month

contract awarded to Fire Creek Services

Company, a Native-owned small business,

which is part of All Native Group.

The IHS, an agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

provides a comprehensive health service

delivery system for approximately 2.6

million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to 574 federally recognized tribes in 37 states. Follow the agency via social media on Facebook, Twitter

and LinkedIn.

COVID-19 Emergency Response – June 1, 2020 Report

Hopi Tutuveni June 3, 2020

By: Royce Jenkins, DHHS Director

Kykotsmovi, Ariz. – June 1, 2020 — Protests sparked by the mishandling of the

George Floyd incident in Minnesota last week continued to intensify across the United

States, as protesters broke local curfews to voice frustration over policing in America.

Meanwhile, the country is in the middle of a pandemic with a number of COVID-19

cases still increasing throughout Arizona. Here in our state, Governor Doug Ducey imposed a weeklong, statewide curfew after another night of intense protests with random

looting in places like Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson.

The Hopi-Tewa community will continue to abide by the Hopi Tribe’s stay at home

directives in response to COVID-19, even as the rest of Arizona generates more movements guided by the new curfew hours from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for the next week.

Please continue to protect your community and family, especially during the brief moments when picking up essential items in the surrounding towns and cities.

Here is a quick overview of the COVID-19 statistics on a national, state, and local

level:

As of this date – June 1, 2020, 2020

The United Sates now has over 1.7 million confirmed positive cases with 26, 177 new

cases and over 104,396 deaths reported.

Over 20,123 confirmed positive cases now exist in Arizona. Of those, close to 1,873

are in Navajo County alone.

The Hopi Health Care Center has tested over 1,286 patients to this date. Over 97 of

those tests at Hopi Health Care Center came back positive. 40 of those patients are from

the Hopi Tribe.

Of those positive tests, a handful are right here on Hopi – in our villages. The information below provides a glimpse of the current numbers in those respective villages.

40** of the 97 patients total are members of the Hopi Tribe or approximately 41%.

Prevention:

Watch for symptoms. People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms

reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness.

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms or combinations of symptoms may have COVID-19:

•Cough

•Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

•Or at least two of these symptoms:

•Fever

•Chills

•Repeated shaking with chills

•Muscle pain

•Headache

•Sore throat

•New loss of taste or smell

Children have similar symptoms to adults and generally have mild illness.

This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.

Education: School Resources - Be “Wise & Ready”

Community preparedness is the ability of communities to prepare for, withstand, and

recover - in both short and long terms - from disasters, and emergency incidents that

impact the health of the public. This includes the engagement and participation in preparedness activities that works to build shared capabilities across the whole community. For Schools this means children, families, teachers and administrators. Promoting

awareness on how to prevent, respond to, and recover from a public health incident

that may occur in your community or involve impacts from incidents that may have

occurred in distant communities.

Before a disaster strikes, prepare together as a school as a community to be “Wise and

Ready”. Visit the “Wise and Ready” resource page will help you be better prepared for

an emergency, promote an awareness of and access to medical and mental/behavioral

health to protect the community’s health and address functional and access needs.

For questions of more information, please call the Hopi Tribe, Office of the Chairman

at (928) 734-3102, OR Office of the Vice Chairman (928) 734-3113.
