The Kith and Kin Project, pro- behaviors towards chilvided by The Association for dren and how we view
Supportive Child Care, was a children?” said Timms
14-week training for communities across the Hopi Reservation
in which they addressed issues of
positive disciplining for children.
The project concluded their last
training session at the Moencopi
Legacy Inn on Fri, Jun. 20.
The training on Hopi came
about when Carlton Timms, Tewa
Youth Coordinator met Francine
Loper, Program Specialist at an
Adverse Childhood Training in
Shungopavi Village. It was there
that Timms asked Loper if she
could provide training for parents,
caregivers and adults with the intentions of focusing on positive
disciplining.
As a Youth Coordinator, Timms
said he is always looking for
programs to educate parents and
adults.
Timms said a lot of our children
go through negative experiences
whether it’s in the home, communities or at school.
“How do we modify our attitudes and behaviors towards children and how we view children?”
said Timms. “I felt this was a great
opportunity to bring Francine and
the Association for Supportive
Child Care to help us educate our
children and discipline our youth
by looking at it from another prospective.”
The response was overwhelming with over 30 people signing up
and a limited number of 20 seats
available for the training. But not
to worry, Timms said he plans to
bring back the Kith and Kin Project in September, but an specific
date hasn’t been set yet.
Timms said he hopes those who
attended the training will leave
with positive ideas and perspectives on how to teach and discipline their children and also youth
in general.
“We need to look at things in a
child’s perspective instead of from
an adult’s perspective. We were
also raised in a different generation and we need to adjust to the
modern approach of disciplining
our children while also incorporating our traditional teachings
and culture,” said Timms.
Those who attended the project
Hopi Dance Group at MNA’s Hopi Show.
received safety training as well as
fire extinguishers, outlet covers
and smoke detectors. One aspect
of the training focused on car seat
safety and the repercussions of
these items not being used properly.
The training also focused on
how adults and parents can have
fun with their children by providing activities they could create
using household items that are relatively inexpensive. Many parents
depend on technological devices
to babysit their children unaware
of the harm these items can cause.
When children are consumed with
tablets and mobile devices, they
are not creative or using their
imaginations or getting the exercise their body needs.
Antoinette Honie, from the
Village of Tewa, attended the 14week training and she said she
learned a great deal.
“I learned a lot and how to cope
with the modern way of living. I
really enjoyed learning what is
safe for our children,” said Honie.
She also said she hoped that other
parents could have taken advantage of this class because it was
very informative.

More Hopi religious
objects were sold at a Parisian auction this past Fri,
Jun. 27, despite objections
of Hopi tribal members
and the U.S. Embassy in
Paris.
In Hopi tradition, the
masks don’t merely represent spirits, but embody
them. They are not representations of deities but
looked up as actual ‘spiritual friends’.
On Thursday an appeal
was made to a Paris court
but denied. Because of
which, the Eve Auction
House went ahead with
the sale, which also included Navajo artifacts.
However, only nine of the
29 religious objects were
sold, for an average price
of about $20,800. A 19th
century religious object
fetched the highest price,
$51,000.
The auction was at least
the third one in Paris in the
last 15 months to have taken place over U.S. and Native American objections.
According to Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, Director at
Hopi Cultural Preservation
Office, “The Hopi Tribe
is extremely disappointed
that the most recent auction of 29 Hopi religious
objects was allowed to go
on by a French court.”
The U.S. Embassy
told French authorities
that tribal representatives
should be allowed to inspect the objects being
sold, for evidence that they
may have been taken without the tribes’ authorization and therefore subject
to restitution proceedings.
“The sale of a sacred
object cannot be dismissed
with a wave of a hand as
a mere commercial trans-
action,” the embassy said,
according to the news report. The auction house responded that “no American
law has been violated.”
This is the third time that
a French judge has elected
to reject the Hopi Tribes
request for a temporary
delay so that proper investigations could be conducted.
Even in the United
States there is no U.S.
law against sacred Native
American art and artifacts
being collected or sold by
private owners. The 1990
Native American Graves
and Repatriation Act restricts what institutions
receiving federal funding
can acquire or display, but
it doesn’t apply to private
collectors.
In April, 2013, the
Néret-Minet Tessier &
Sarrou auction house in
Paris generated $1.2 million as 70 Hopi religious
objects went for an average of $17,143, with
one object created around
1880 fetching $209,000.
When Drouot auctioneers
proceeded with a sale last
December, the L.A.-based
Annenberg
Foundation
phoned in anonymous
bids, landing 21 Hopi religious objects and three
sacred Apache headdresses for $530,000, in order
to return them to the tribes.
While the international
community continues to
object to the sale of Native
American religious objects, Kuwanwisiwma says
the Paris auction houses,
with the support of French
courts, have simply taken a
position that is it is “legal”
to sell another’s cultural
material.

Families Learn The Early Years Build
Strong Minds
Each child went home with a free book and toy. Reading with infants and toddlers will better prepare them to talk,
read and write. Read, talk and play with kids everyday to get them ready for school and set for life!
Cynthia Pardo
Second Mesa, Arizona (June 26, 2014) – The
100 people that filled the
Second Mesa Day School
gymnasium looked like
they were enjoying music,
games, arts and crafts, but
what they were really doing was discovering how
to support their children’s
early health and learning.
About 90 percent of a
child’s critical brain development happens by age 5,
and the quality interactions
kids have with caregivers
lay the foundation for future success. As part of the
Hopi Early Childhood Fair
on June 17, parents and
families were given tools
to support them in their
role as their child’s first
and best teachers.
The best tip for parents?
Read, talk, sing and play
with kids. Through activities like these, parents and
caregivers help children
develop their physical,
mental and social skills.
“It was a great event!”
said Matthew Duyongwa,
father or 2-year-old Brielle. “I learned that you
can do infant massage to
help calm your child if
they have hyper activity
and how oral health is really important … and building reading skills!”
Each family in attendance received free children’s books, toys, educational materials, health
screenings, immunizations
and dental screenings.
“Shots! We hadn’t been
to an appointment in a
while,” said a smiling
Daphne Sahneyah, holding her –month-old daughter, Ty, who stared intently
at a baby board book. “The
fair was educational.”
Chairman Herman Honanie thanked all of the
participants and said he
supports more events that
focus on early childhood
education. He called on
parents to read daily with
their children to support
their early literacy.
Many families registered their kids for Head
Start and signed up for
free programs like parent education classes and
home visiting programs.
Through programs like
these, parents and caregivers can strengthen their
skills to support their children with stable, nurturing and educational environments in their earliest
years.
“Early learning brings
strength to each child and
parent,” said Rayma Duyongwa, Hopi Head Start
Program Director. She
reinforced the message
with parents that strong
families are the building
blocks of strong villages
and communities.
This year’s Early Childhood Fair was made possible through support from
Hopi Head Start, Hopi
Guidance Center, Hopi
Red Rock Native Arts
Guild Provides Venue
for Native Artists
The Guild was founded
by Robert Crying Redbear from the Quinnipiac
Cree Tribe and his wife E.
Pep Taylor from the Hopi
Tribe. Red Rock’s mission
is to provide a place of
venue for Native American artists who could not
otherwise afford to travel
to Art Festivals faraway.
The first Festival in May
of 2013 brought over 30
artists to Winslow, AZ.
This year over 60 artists
were contacted to participate in the July art festival.
However, due to economics, many were unable to
attend. The Guild then
changed direction and decided to open a Native Arts
Shop in Winslow. This
would provide a place for
artists to bring their art for
consideration.
“We also began to trav-
el throughout the Hopi
reservation in search of
artists to bring their art
to Winslow”, said Taylor.
“This is a better way of
helping get native art work
to the market and also to
help the Artists during this
economic hardship.”
“We now have an assortment of jewelry, katsina
dolls, pottery and baskets
from all the Mesas as well
as some Navajo jewelry. I
am also a Native Artist
and have brought to the
shop jewelry, Batik art and
CREE spirit mask art” said
Crying Redbear.
The Red Rock Native
Arts Guild is located at
118 E. Second Street in
the courtyard of the old
Skylark in downtown
Winslow, AZ. The Shop is
open daily, except Sunday
and Monday.

Let me start off this article by saying that the only
way a man can have true
victory over addictions, or
any sin that plagues his life
is by having Jesus Christ
as your God, and your
Savior! I do not believe we
can conquer the flesh in
the flesh but we need Gods
help. If you want to know
about Jesus please ask and
I will be glad to tell you.
Over the next few weeks
I will give you several
Biblical principles on how
to have victory! For this
series of articles we will
bring out three main points
from Psalms Chapter 1. If
you wish to read the whole
chapter feel free to do so,
as I will only be able to
quote small portions.
3. Don’t listen to Critics’
- The Bible says in Psalms
1:1, “... nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful.”. For
some reason there will always be those who mock
and make fun of you. Or
will try to destroy the new
goals, rules, and boundaries that you have set in
your life. If you continue
to listen to them it will
break down all the walls
you have set up to protect
yourself. You start believing the lies that you are
missing out fun, and great
times. That you are being
a bore, and missing some
great relationship that you
could be in... Don’t hang
out with crowed. Remember what it is you are trying
to have victory over. What
it was that put you in jail
and made you curse your
family and ruin your life.
They just want some one
to be miserable like them.
It doesn’t matter if they are
your “friends”, if all they
are going to do is scorn
and critises, then change
friends. There is no sense
if you dying in the gutter
like so many other people
you know, just because
you let someone’s mocking criticism change opinions! Keep in mind that
the Bible says that some
who returns to their sins is
like a dog who goes back
and eats his own vomit!
“Pr 26:11 ¶ As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool
returneth to his folly.”
4. Gods Promise - We
have gone over some basic
principles for victory but
Gods promise goes further... In Psalms 1:2, “But
his delight is in the law of
the LORD; and in his law
doth he meditate day and
night. 3 And he shall be
like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his
season; his leaf also shall
not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
True victory and prospering will come from spending time in Gods word and
following after it! Than
you have the promise of
prospering Like a tree
planted by the water. Remember we at Bethel Baptist Church are to help you
find that victory and prospering (having your life
in order), 928-206-7811

EPA Scientists Push For New Regulation Of Pollutant
That’s Causing Lung Infections In Children
A group of Environmental Protection Agency science advisors are
urging the agency to enact stricter
limits on ozone, a pollutant that’s
the main ingredient in smog and
that can exacerbate asthma and other respiratory problems.
The scientists of the EPA’s Clean
Air Scientific Advisory Committee
sent a letter to the agency on Thu,
Jun. 26, that made a scientific case
for increasing the federal standards
on ozone, which right now are set at
75 parts per billion (ppb). The committee said that setting the standard
below 70 ppb and preferably as low
as 60 ppb would better avoid some
of the worst health effects of ozone,
including, as the letter states, “decrease in lung function, increase in
respiratory symptoms, and increase
in airway inflammation.”
The worst of those health impacts
are felt by vulnerable populations
such as children, the elderly and
people with asthma. But the letter
states at the current standard healthy
adults who stay outside for more
than six and a half hours can experience respiratory issues. A limit of
70 ppb would still inadequately pro-
tect public health, the scientists say,
so the more stringent lower bound
of 60 ppm is important.
In 2010, the EPA estimated that a
60 ppb standard would avoid 4,000
to 12,000 premature deaths, 21,000
hospital and emergency room visits and cut down on the number of
school and work days missed by 2.5
million.
“The recommended lower bound
of 60 ppb would certainly offer
more public health protection than
levels of 70 ppb or 65 ppb and
would provide an adequate margin
of safety,” the letter states. “Thus,
our policy advice is to set the level
of the standard lower than 70 ppb
within a range down to 60 ppb, taking into account your judgment regarding the desired margin of safety
to protect public health, and taking
into account that lower levels will
provide incrementally greater margins of safety.”
EPA spokesman George Hull told
the LA Times that the EPA “will respond appropriately” to the recommendations.
Though ozone is still in need of
revised standards, another air pol-
lutant that has been appropriately
regulated by the EPA — nitrogen
dioxide — has shown significant
reductions in the U.S. in the last 10
years, according to new NASA data.
Nitrogen dioxide can also lead
to respiratory problems and contributes to the creation of ozone
and particulates. It’s emitted mainly from cars and coal-fired power
plants.
The reductions are a result of
EPA regulations, technological advancements and economic changes,
NASA scientists said, and have occurred even as the number of cars
on the road have increased over
the last 10 years. Still, one scientist
said, more work needs to be done —
including advancements in ozone
regulation.
“While our air quality has certainly improved over the last few
decades, there is still work to do
– ozone and particulate matter are
still problems,” Bryan Duncan, atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a
statement.

Dear Editor:
I am Scott Snethen from
California, and visited
the Second Mesa Cultural Center the last week of
April, 2014. The ranger
at Holbrook, AZ recommended we RV up to the
Second Mesa to visit the
Hopi People. We stayed in
the parking lot of the Cultural Center for the night,
ate dinner, breakfast and
lunch at the restaurant,
toured the Center and the
gift shop.
Last night, I just happened to be looking at
something on the computer and came across your
newspaper article regarding the “Money Tree Peddlers and the Cultural Center Gallery” dispute.
The BEST part of our
stay at the cultural center
was meeting the arts and

the “Money Tree”. We
met a Hopi man near the
post office, who directed
us to the Cultural Center.
In the evening we met a
lone craft seller who engaged us in conversation.
We agreed to meet the
next morning. Our Hopi
friend took us on a tour
of his pueblo, and spent
about three hours speaking to us about the Hopi
history, the People, his
education, his family, the
reservation structure and
government, the clans
and all interesting aspects
of the village, and the
three mesas.
He took us to meet
his toddler children, his
brother in law, his mother in law, his nieces, and
their yard. The entire
family was so excited to
show us their crafts, explain their meanings, the
method of creation, and
the symbolism associated with their items. Of
course the intent was to
solicit a purchase, but
their excitement about
explaining their creative
abilities was paramount.
We purchased about
$100 of items from the
family, and spent about
the same amount at the
Cultural Center restaurant.
While I appreciate the
Cultural Center’s administrator’s
concerns
regarding
“peddlers”
cannibalizing sales from
the Center’s gift shop, I
can testify from the tourist and purchasers’ perspective, THERE IS NO
COMPARISON between
the items available from
the craftspeople and the
gallery items.
I saw the Gallery’s selection of merchandise
as “art” and collectibles.
Everything was beautiful. The gallery prices reflected the artistic
abilities of the creators.
The merchandise selection was limited. From
the display of the articles, I assume the artists
represented worked out
of private workshops, as
full time artists, and had
gallery/agent representation. However, I had no
idea if the articles for sale
were actually made by
the Hopi people, or purchased for resale by the
gallery.
Outside under the
“Money Tree”, I got to
meet the craftspeople
and talk with them They
showed me their pieces,
explained the entire creative process, the significance of the markings,
and their pride in their
abilities. I could immediately see the benefit of
purchasing from the creator of the pieces, as opposed to buying an object
through a clerk at the gallery cash register. I can
see the craftspeople are
merely
supplementing
their family incomes, not
“making a living” on their
craft work.
I thought I understood
that the Hopi lands “belonged” to the Hopi people. I see nothing wrong
with “the People” selling
their crafts on “their”
land, even if it is outside the Cultural Center;
which “the People” own.
I learned MUCH more
about the Hopi culture
and the people from the
craftspeople outside the
center, than I learned
from my tour of the Cultural Center Museum, gift
gallery and restaurant. I
wish the cultural center
much success and prosperity, but I believe the
craftspeople “peddlers”
are a significant CONTRIBUTION to the center.
I believe the Gallery
offers items to one type
of buyer, and the “Money
Tree” sellers offer other
items to a different type
of buyers.
Thank you for reading.

OTHER:
Vice Chairman – (Executive Session)
*Vice Chairman Lomahquahu requested for
an open session.
Hopi Chairman opened
the floor to discuss the
issue in regards to a complaint letter filed against
the Vice Chairman.
On May 27th the Hopi
Tribal Council Secretary,
Vernita Selestewa read
into record a letter submitted by former PBX Operator, Carol Sekayumptewa
in regards to Hopi Vice
Chairman Alfred Lomaquahu Jr. and his Staff
Assistant Elda Joshevama.
In the letter, Sekayumptewa states that she is writing the letter to tell of her
experience and share her
opinion as to what is going
on at the Hopi Tribe. She
also states that she was
terminated for violating
tribal policy and the confidentiality policy for speaking of her termination.
As an example, she
shared what she allegedly
saw at the Arrows Bar in
the Twin Arrows Casino
on the weekend of May
3rd. Sekayumptewa said
she observed the Vice
Chairman and Joshevama
drinking in the bar and Joshevama was escorted out
of the bar because she was
too intoxicated to walk on
her own.
Chairman Honanie said
the Vice Chairman’s actions were a violation of
the Hopi Constitution and
that there needed to be immediate action.
Bacavi Council Rep.,
Lamar Keevama responded to Chairman Honanie
by stating that it is not a
violation of Constitution.
“As you recall earlier
Chairman, you went into
an agreement with a lawyer without the Council’s
approval. That is a clear
violation of the Constitution,” said Keevama.
Marilyn Tewa, Mishongnovi Rep. said Council was not in a position
to decide and they needed
legal advice to give them
a clear understanding of
what council needs to.
Nada
Talayumptewa,
Kykotsmovi Village Rep.
added by stating that there
are no formal charges that
have been processed.
“If council writes a resolution it’s going to be a
conflict of interest. It’s up
to the people to remove
him and with a written
resolution. All we have
is a complaint letter, until
we have proof we can’t do
anything about it,” said Ta-
layumptewa.
George Mase, Sipaulovi
Rep. recommended that
Council table the issue on
the Vice Chairman. The
Vice Chairman knows
himself what happened
that day and the real problem is his staff member. He
may need to take administrative actions on his staff.
There are no police reports
on the Vice Chairman and
we need those evidence.
In the Constitution it does
refer to drunkenness, but
if the said person is found
guilty in the court of law.
“As you recall with the
incident on Cedric, there
were no police reports but
he was removed without
any evidence,” said Mase.
There was no resolution to the situation as the
council members went
back and forth on the code
of conduct and taking responsibility.
Davis Piqosa, Bacavi
Rep. reminded the Vice
Chairman that he is not a
private person anymore,
he belongs to the people.
As a leader he must set an
example.
Chairman Hoanie said
this was a very serious
matter and feels that it
should be acted on in a
timely manner.
“We have an obligation
to our people,” said Chairman Honanie.
Vice Chairman Lomahquahu Jr. said the council
is setting up precedence
for people who write complaint letters. “There are
different kinds of drunkenness,” said Vice Chairman.
“Greed, hate and jealousy
are intoxicating. You also
say I have a code of conduct to follow, that should
go for all of you as well.”
Vice Chairman asked
council if the incident
leading up to this will
make a difference. He said
there was no letter until he
released a former employee from his office that is
now a staff in the Chairman’s office and believes
that this is the work of a
disgruntled employee.
Council had questions
on how they should approach the situation as
they may be criticized for
the decisions they make.
Motion was made by
Mervyn Yoyetewa, Mishongnovi Rep. to turn this
matter to Cisneros to see if
it has merit.
Amended and seconded
by George Mase to include
that they have a teleconference with Cisneros and the
Hopi Tribal Council.

In Memory Of Max ‘Qovo’ Maimone
The Hopi Tutuveni Office was saddened to learn about the death of one of its former employees, Max J. Maimone. “Qovo” as he was known to many, was a Reporter for the Hopi Tutuveni. He is most remembered by the
last story he wrote regarding the Hopi High School Graduation in the June 3 edition. Our condolences go out to
the Maimone Family.
In Loving Memory of
Max Joseph Maimone
Nov. 1, 1989 – Jun. 17, 2014
Funeral Services for Max J.
Maimone were held at the Norvel
Owens Mortuary in Flagstaff, Az on
June 23.
Max’s father Mark Maimone
made opening remarks and intro-
ductions, after which his mother,
Margaretha Maimone gave a speech
in tribute of her son; followed by his
wife Keshia’s Aunt who said a few
words on her behalf. She spoke with
emotion as she shared heartfelt remembrances of gatherings and the
love family shared with Max.
The Veterans of Foreign War
(VFW) Post conducted the Cere-
mony with the Chaplin performing
the service. The military style service included a presentation of the
US flag to wife Keshia followed
by a gun salute and the Taps being
played. The Commander noted that
Maimone was discharged with honors from the U.S. Marines after serving his Country.
TRIBUTE SPEECH IN MEMORY OF MAX
by Margaretha Greijdanus
Mother
“Max is our son. Losing
Max is incomprehensible,
for he is our strong man,
our hero. To his wife Keshia and two children, Anna
and Adrian, he is their protector. For the world, he
is a Marine, standing for
freedom and peace.
Max died in the prime
of his life. There were still
great plans in the making,
amazing projects and ambitions to complete.
So much has happened
in his short life.
Max was born a Guarani Indian of South America where he was left in an
orphanage. We found him
at the orphanage when he
was not yet 2 years old.
We adopted him and took
him to our home in Long
Island, NY where we
raised him as our son.
Max was a good musician and excelled in playing the viola. He was also
a very outstanding athlete
and even went to the Junior Olympics to compete in Olympic Fencing.
He went through several
schools and graduated
from the Marine Military
Academy in Texas. He
was intensely proud of
becoming a Marine. The
Marines have given him
the skills and gave him his
calling. He met his wife
Keshia while they were
both in the military.
When he married Keshia, they started a family
where they lived in the
East Coast and then in Arizona. They were beautiful
young adults who had a
lot to give to their Country. Keshia was deployed
at sea in the Navy and
Max did his tour in Iraq
during the war. After an
honorable discharge from
the Marines, restlessness
came over him. Max had
great talents, a wonderful imagination, strength,
courage, boundless optimism but many of his
plans were never realized.
He kept searching.
All by himself, in this
beautiful part of Arizona,
he was beginning to find
a new spirituality. “Mom,
don’t worry, be proud of
me, I am a Native Indian,”
he told me.
Max was far away from
us in New York and conversations of the last few
months were often puzzling to us. He had found
a Hopi mom, had lots of
new friends and wanted to
be a corn farmer. Getting
water to his plants was not
easy. A stretch of arid treeless land, seemingly on
the edge of the world.
Tuesday morning, the
17th of June, Max walks
the road home. It is the
earliest hour, when the
stars retire from the sky
and the sun makes it shy
appearance. Max may
never have seen it coming, but a car at high speed
kills him instantly.
The sun and the stars
must have gasped at
the violence of this mo-
ment: a body sprawled
out in the middle of the
road and spirits sending
a message through the
strong winds that day.
If a crime has been committed, then, we as a family shall stop at nothing –
Nothing– until justice has
been done.
Before God and the
world, there was one
witness to this senseless
death. The warm brown
eyes of a puppy dog saw
it all, as it cowered under
a nearby tree. A skinny
thing, shy and always
looking out for Max. It did
not dare to step onto the
road. It stayed at the exact
spot for days before finally seeking company with
Rosa, Max’s Hopi mom.
This cannot be the end.
We have all been touched
by Max. We have felt his
energy and seen his gorgeous smile. We have seen
him as a loving father,
husband, and son. Max
was real – a dreamer – but
real. A beautiful Soul.”
gave me a new look on life
and our family. He never
judged anyone on they’re
believes but just opened
up his horizons. During
family events, especially
during our family’s time
of sorrow, he was there to
help, made us laugh, and
push us through it. He always had so much hope
and help in anything and
everything. He did hold
grudges nor allowed anyone to be angry at him. If
we were mad he would
say “are you really mad
at me?”, “i bet i can make

he always did. He will be
greatly missed by many
friends and family, but
most of all by us, his wife
who love him endlessly,
our daughter who was
very fond of him, and our
son who looks so much
like him sadden to only
have little memory of him.

AUCTION from Page 1
securing the return of art
looted by the Nazis, issued
a statement Friday saying
it was outraged by the most
recent Paris auction of Native American artifacts,
and that French authorities’ decision allowing it
to go forward was “both
tragic and shameful.”
“What is interesting is
that France suffered immensely during World War
II when Nazi Germany
looted many museums of
valuable art. Through today, France has benefited
significantly with the repatriation of many of these
pieces of art from Germany,” Kuwanwisiwma said.
“In contrast, France continues to tolerate the sale
of Hopi religious objects.
The Hopi Tribe will continue to intervene future
sales of Hopi material.”
Ori Z. Soltes, the
group’s chairman, said he
had urged France’s Con-
seil des Ventes (Board of
Sales) to use its regulatory power to suspend the
auction, but that instead it
had issued a ruling saying
that no Native American
tribe has a legal standing
to pursue cultural claims
in France.
Soltes said the decision flies in the face of
the French government’s
endorsement of the 2007
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The declaration affirms
that “states shall provide
redress through effective
mechanisms…developed
in conjunction with indigenous peoples,” to secure
restitution of “cultural,
intellectual, religious and
spiritual property taken
without their free, prior
and informed consent or in
violation of their laws, traditions and customs.”

wellness; the Navajo Nation Vice President Rex
Lee Jim signed a proclamation with Hopi Chairman Herman Honanie
and Hopi Vice Chairman
Alfred Lomahquahu Jr. on
Jun. 23 at the Hopi Tribal Council Chambers in
Kykotsmovi Village.
“First and foremost,
we have to collaborate
and work together as different nations. We have
worked with the Zuni and
Ute’s and now with Hopi.
As neighbors we have to
work together on health issues,” said Vice President
Jim. “This run reminds
me of when I ran with my
brother back in the 1980’s
in commemoration of the
Pueblo Revolt.”
The Hopi Special Diabetes Program has begun
planning for this event by
seeking runners to take
part in this event. They
have also requested for

Hopi Youth to Participate in World
Youth Basketball Tournament
Crystal Dee
Hopi Tutuveni
Basketball is a very popular sport on most Native
American
reservations.
Children as young as five
years old are playing in
local tournaments while
the older children travel
nationally to play in tournaments.
As will one of our youth,
Channing Antone will be
travelling to Hawaii to
play in the World Youth
Basketball Tournament on
July 26-30 in the 12 & under division.
Antone, 12, is from Tewa
Village and is from the Tobacco clan. His parents are
Deidre Honyumptewa and
Geoffrey Antone; maternal
grandparents are Dorma
Sahneyah and Clayton
Honyumptewa; paternal
grandparents are Nick and
the late Sharon Antone of
Mishongnovi.
Antone has three sisters;
Lindsey, Taylor and Carly;
one brother, Kyle; and two
stepsisters, Shaelana and
Jere.
Channing attended Moencopi Day School (MDS)
for his 6th grade year and
will be attending the Tuba
City Boarding School next
school year
Antone will be travelling to Hawaii with his
basketball team; Northern
AZ Hoopsters, an all-Native boy’s basketball team
from Tuba City. He joined
the team when his family
moved to Tuba City from
Goodyear, AZ in January.
When he enrolled in
Moencopi Day School, it
was too late for him to join
the basketball team. When
his mother, Deidre, real-
ized it was too late for him
to sign up for his school’s
team, she took it upon herself to look for basketball
leagues in the area.
She found a league
through the Health Promotions Department at the
Tuba City Regional Health
Care Facility.
Since joining the league
he has played in several
tournaments:
• AZ Youth Basketball
Championships – 2nd
place
• Pinon 12 & under – 1st
place
• Ball Till You Fall
Tourney – 1st place
• Many Farms Youth
Tourney – 2nd place
In the last two months
the Northern AZ Hoopsters
have played 24 games and
have traveled to places like
Sedona, Prescott, Page,
Red Lake, AZ and Farmington, NM to play ball.
Antone started playing basketball at the age
of three and played in his
first tournament when he
was four. His father Geoffrey was on Hopi High
School’s State Championship basketball team in
1997, and inspired his son
to play basketball.
“I like to play basketball
because it’s challenging
and it teaches you to have
patience, discipline and
teamwork,” said Antone.
He added that his favorite
basketball team is the L.A.
Clippers and his favorite
pro basketball player is
Michael Jordan.
“He inspires people with
his words. He says you
can accomplish anything
if you can work hard at it,”
said Antone of Jordan.
His mother noticed he
has matured and shows
leadership and sportsmanship.
Antone is very excited
to go to Hawaii because
this will be his first time
on an airplane and also to
travel without his parents.
He is looking forward to
playing with kids at his
level and he hopes to visit
the beach.
Since Channing has
been selected to go to
Hawaii with his team, his
mother and family are
fundraising for his travel
expenses. They hope to
raise $2000 to pay for his
airfare, hotel, food and
spending money. They
have raised $600 thus far.
Honyumptewa said she
is planning to do a prize
raffle, 50/50 cash raffle
and three benefit runs in
Moencopi. Tickets for the
prize and 50/50 raffle are
$1 each and the drawing
will be held on July 11.
She plans on having additional fundraising events
and encourages everyone
to check on her Facebook
page to see the schedule.
People can also donate
using their credit or debit
cards at www.gofundme.
com/channing2hawaii.
Antone said he would
like to thank his family
and most importantly his
mom, dad, grandparents,
his great grandmother
Ernestine Goldtooth, his
coaches and everyone for
their donations and for
giving him the support to
go to Hawaii.
“Don’t give up on your
dreams, practice so you
can get better and don’t let
anyone tell you, you can’t
accomplish
anything,”
said Antone.

the KEYS internship program. This is the eighth
summer the program has
been presented. With
this session, 233 Arizona
teens have contributed to
research projects across
the university. This year,
faculty in bioscience, bioengineering and environmental health sciences are
participating.
Students’ internship experiences include a weeklong training institute and
research under the mentorship of UA investigators and graduate students.
Interns also attend weekly
seminars to discuss their
experiences and practice
science communication
skills. Their work will culminate in presentations to
their peers and the public
in a poster session July 18.
The skills and techniques learned in the program are enhanced by the
opportunity to network
with others who share an
enthusiasm for science:
fellow high school students, UA undergraduate
students, faculty and other
mentors.
“KEYS is a wonderful opportunity for high
school students to see
what science is all about,”
says Marti Lindsey, SWEHSC community outreach
and education director,
and KEYS co-director.
“The program gives them
hands-on experience in
conducting a scientific
experiment and communicating the results.”

Photo Exhibit Displays Still Images of Hopi
Life From the Past
Crystal Dee
Hopi Tutuveni
There’s a saying that goes, “Pictures speak louder than words.”
There are no words to describe the
black and white photos which were
on display at the Moencopi Legacy
Inn on June 21 during a Photo Exhibit Dedication Event hosted by
the Hopi Education Endowment
Fund (HEEF).
The photos were a glimpse into
the Hopi life of the past as it was
lived over 100 years ago. Looking
at the photos one can only imagine
how life must have been simple yet
complicated in its own way; and
then to compare it to the life we live
today. Life was simple.
The photo exhibit titled, “Itaaqatsi, yuumoq itaa’öqala” (Our Life,
Our Strength for the Future) gave us
an understanding of what life was
like back in the 1800’s.
The historic photo exhibit was
dedicated to HEEF by the Moencopi Developers Corporation (MDC).
HEEF is under the direction of
Lou Ann Leonard and has assisted
over 1500 students to pursue their
college education. Many of these
students’ lives have been enhanced
by HEEF. It is a non-profit entity
that was created by the Hopi Tribal
Council in 2000 to help fund educational opportunities for tribal members.
Lois Reynosa Quimyintewa,
President of the HEEF Board of Directors is Water Clan from the Village of Shungopavi. She earned her
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
from Northern Arizona University
and has been a member of HEEF
since 2009.
As the President for the Hopi Education Endowment Fund, she said
she was pleased to be and the event
and welcomed everyone to the dedication of the photo exhibit.
“It’s our job as fundraisers to add
to the funds so more of our students
may pursue their dreams of obtaining post-secondary education,” said
Quimyintewa. “Seeing these photos
for the first time in person and to see
the details in each of them; it brings
back a lot of memories. It also
brings up a lot of speaking points
in what we have forgotten and what
we have lived through as Hopi people to get to where we are today.”
LouAnn Leonard, Hopi/Tohono
O’ohdam is from the village of Sichomovi; is the Executive Director of HEEF. She said HEEF was
granted permission to reproduce
the black and white photographs
onto cards and prints for sale which
will benefit students in the form of
scholarships and educational opportunities.
Leonard described the collection
as being unique in that it gives us
a glimpse of Hopi life as it was
over100 years ago. She also added
that she heard some of the comments from those around her that
is some of the pictures you can still
see the scenes as it still exists in this
day in age.
“It makes your heart feel proud
in that we were able to carry on our
traditions into this new day,” said
Leonard.
The items for sale at the exhibit
were three different set of cards with
five images in each package that
represent male roles, female roles
and agriculture life. Other items for
Leland Dennis, curator for the photo exhibit, talks about the simple way that Hopi lived back in the
1800s.
Arizona State Representative Jamecita Peshlakai and Hopi Vice Chairman Alfred Lomahquahu Jr.
sale were posters of significant pieces. These items will continue to be
on sale at the gift shop in the Moencopi Legacy Inn as well as online
at the Hopi Education Endowment
Fund website.
Hopi Vice Chairman Alfred Lomahquahu Jr. said he was glad that
he was invited to help celebrate and
it’s a great opportunity for everyone
to get to know one another. He commended HEEF and MDC on collaborating with each other.
“I hope the students may one day
give back to the program. That’s
one of the philosophies of Hopi,
you receive and give back. We can’t
always do things on our own; someone is always there to help. Things
are possible when everyone gets
together,” said Vice Chairman Lomahquahu Jr.
The Curator for the Photo Exhibit was Leland Dennis of Sipaulovi.
He shared that he was approached
by Jaymes Surveyor, Marketing
and Sales Manager of the Moencopi Legacy Inn & Suites on having a
photo exhibit at the hotel. Previously there were agriculture pictures on
display at the Legacy and it had a
brought a lot interest that the hotel
wanted their own collection specifically on the Hopi lifestyle as it was
over 100 years ago.
Dennis began his search and on
the photos which took nearly a year
to complete. He worked with museums and libraries to get permission
to have the photos released and then
reproduced.
“There was a procedure in how
we obtained these images and it was
not from one museum or institution,
but from numerous places,” said
Dennis. “It wasn’t difficult for us to
get the photos because of my previous involvement with the museums
it made communication easier.”
Dennis said he has always enjoyed black and white photography
especially if they had historic significance. He added that he is very
happy to see this event come to life
after a year of planning. He is very
pleased that other people and tribes
are enjoying the photos as it is history being shared. There are a lot of
stories connected to the pictures.
AZ State Representative Jamescita Peshlakai attended the photo exhibit and said she was very proud of
HEEF, the village of Moencopi and
the Legacy Inn and the entire Hopi
Tribe for putting on a grand project
such as this.
Peshlakai commented that it’s
very important for us as indigenous
people to look back on our history
because our survival is based on the
knowledge of our own culture and
traditions and how our ancestors
survived. That is a key to thriving
and being successful.
As the event continued into the
afternoon, there were presentations
on the roles of Hopi men and women and agriculture. Presenters were
Susan Secakuku, Jeremy King and
Leland Dennis.
“I feel very proud and I wish there
were more people so they would be
able to see these pictures, but I feel
glad in knowing that these pictures
will be up perpetuity and that people will be able to get that information on the Education Endowment
Fund as well as enjoy the beautiful
photographs,” said Leonard.
Leonard would like to thank the
Moencopi Developers Corporations, Arizona Communications and
The Moencopi Legacy; and event
sponsors who put forth the money
to support the event who are Salt
River Project and Walker & Armstrong. Many thanks to the Hopi
people because these pictures are of
their relatives, ancestors.
Thanks to the following libraries
and museums the pictures were on
display for everyone to enjoy. The

with three teams in each
pool and The Rattlers
played teams from the Yaqui Tribe near Tucson and
a Navajo team from Chinle.
“It was a pretty good
experience for the kids because we are the only baseball team on the Hopi reservation. We have to look
for teams to play against,”
said Daylan Quotswisiwma, Head Coach for the
Rattlers. He added that
they played a total of three
games before coming to
NABI.
Quotswisiwma said he
plans to bring the children
to another tournament so
they can get more experience. The heat played
a factor in their games as
they have never played in
such conditions.
He also added that this
is a learning experience
for the children and to prepare them for Junior High
School.
The team would like to
thank their sponsors; The
Offices of the Hopi Chairman and Vice Chairman,
The Hopi Foundation,
Hopi
Telecommunications Inc., Spider Mound
Community, Hopi Traders,
KUYI and all the Hopi
Galleries and artists.
The team made enough
funds to cover their expenses and hope that their
sponsors continue to support them. It’s for the children and to give them an
unforgettable experience
every year.
