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

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."

declares state of emergency,
issues curfew to last all week

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.
