Hopi Arsenic Mitigation Project (HAMP)

Drilling Update

Director Hopi Water Resources Program

The

HAMP

project is steadily

making progress

with the drilling of

new wells located

on BIA Route 4

(Tuorquise Trail

Road) on the Hopi

Reservation.

A pilot hole

for

Turqouise

Trail Well #2 was

drilled to a depth

of 2,510 ft below

ground

surface

(bgs) with a 12 ¼”

tricone bits. Currently the well is

being reamed to

its final production width so that

casing may be installed and is currently at 1,170 ft

bgs.

The Turquoise

Trail Well #2 is

on schedule to

be completed in

2-3 weeks and a

pump test will be

conducted to test

production capacity as well as to

resample the wells

while under operational conditions.

The overall goal

of the HAMP is

to secure a safe

drinking

water

source that is arsenic compliant

while still being

able to meet the

needs of the villages on First and

Native American Day at Hopi High

Mihio Manus

Hopi Tutuveni

Hopi Jr/Sr. High School

celebrated Native American

Week, Sept. 9-13, with students participating in various

activities like Traditional Shoe

Day, Traditional Belt Day,

Traditional Jewelry Day, Clan

Symbol Day and Traditional

Attire Day. The culmination

of the week was Native American Day held on Fri, Sept. 13.

Before the events started,

students could be seen running

to and fro, getting ready and

securing pieces of their regalia

to themselves. The students

looked for their parents or

relatives in the audience and

waved to their friends as they

waited for their turn to dance.

As students and family

members filed into the Hopi

High gymnasium to get a good

seat where they could view the

day’s dances, Assistant Principal Harvey Honyouti gave

a brief welcome address. He

introduced Master of Ceremonies, Bruce Talawyma of

KUYI Radio. Talawyma was

accompanied by Miss Hopi

2013-2014, Nikki Qumyintewa, 1st Attendant, Lori Honyaoma and Mikayla Paul,

Hopi High Student Council

President.

The MC Talawyma wasted

no time in getting events started as the Hopi High Seniors

participated in a Throw Away

Dance in which the males and

females switched roles. The

ladies dressed and danced like

men while the men dressed

and danced like ladies. The

audience of students and parents smiled and laughed as the

group of dancers made their

way across the gymnasium

floor.

Groups of dancers consist-

ing of every Jr/Sr high school

grade level followed the senior

class. Both students and the

assembled audience were fed

lunch prepared by the school

kitchen staff.

“We have a community meal

prepared by the kitchen staff,”

said Glenn Gilman, Hopi High

School Principal. “Traditionally, they serve noquivi, baked

bread or rolls, watermelon and

a salad.”

Gilman noted that this year

the kitchen served red chile

beans instead of the traditional

noquivi, a stew of hominy and

mutton.

Although nationally, Native

American Heritage Month is

celebrated in November, Hopi

Jr/Sr High School has normally celebrated Native American

Week in September. Principal

Gilman said the school has always taken into consideration

the traditional schedule of

Hopi dances and ceremonies

when planning any Native

American festivities.

The principal also noted that

Native American Day at the

school would usually host a

good number of dance groups

from around the community.

“We used to have a huge

contingent of community

dancers come in,” he said.

“This year not so much. This

year the dances wound down

about 1:30pm.”

The echo of songs bouncing

off the gymnasium walls and

dancing of feet across the gym

floor was a welcome homage

to the heritage and traditions

of the Hopi and other local

Native American tribes. In

participation, it was known

that everyone was happy to

celebrate his or her culture on

Native American Day.

It’s the tribe’s investments

It’s mainly the audits that are

Governor Lomaquahu Jr.:

The problem the Hopi Tribe is

facing right now is its financial

audits. That’s overall because

that ties to every department

and every entity, including

BIA and Indian Health Services (IHS). If we don’t complete our audits we will be penalized and we are already at a

level Sanction II with the government. If we don’t complete

the audits they are going to

move us to Sanction III where

the government will not give

us any grant funding or any

type of funding. They will basically be running the Tribe’s

fiduciary side of all the grants,

IHS. and BIA. That’s the main

thing. We don’t want to go

there because we can’t apply

for anymore grants or funding.

It’s like a credit report and its

down or our credibility. What

we need to do is correct those

audits. There was a forensic

audit done because of allegations toward a prior Chairman.

Many Hopi people have

expressed their disappointment in the Tribal Council

when it comes to reporting,

representation and the actions

taken by Council. The Hopi

people elect a Chairman and

Southwest Regional Office

for OTGR Helps Veterans

with Assistance Programs

Homana Pawiki hangs out with Candace Romero from the Salt

River Pima Tribe during the Native American Journalists Assocation

Conference.

Stan Bindell

PRESCOTT, ARIZ.---Veterans with any questions

about health care, claims

or cemetery can contact

Homana Pawiki, director

of the Southwest Region

for OTGR in Prescott.

Pawiki, who is Hopi and

Navajo, is responsible for

serving veterans in four

states: Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah.

OTGR overlooks the

Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Benefit

Association and the National Cemetery Association. OTGR also puts on

conferences to make veterans aware of the services

available to them. They recently held one such conference in Moenkopi and

another one is planned on

the Salt River Pima Reservation from Sept. 16-17.

During the conferences,

veterans learn about services that are directed only

toward them including

health care, claims and

the availability of home

loans. Veterans leave these

conferences with a binder

with the power points telling them everything they

want to know.

OTGR was established

about three years ago within the Department of Veterans Affairs to facilitate

the work of VHA, VBA

and NCA. The VHA deals

with health care. The VBA

includes the GI Bill, home

loans and disability payments.

The NCA has a new

program that extends the

burial of veterans to tribal lands. Tribes can create

cemeteries on their lands

for veterans.

“This is in the spirt of

Arlington

Cemetery,”

Pawiki said. “It doesn’t

happen unless the tribes

agree to it. There are seven tribes in the nation that

have adopted this so veterans can be buried on their

own land.”

Pawiki said veterans

living on tribal lands tend

not to file their claims for

the money or services that

they have coming. She

said the OTGR program is

the gateway for extending

out the services that veterans deserve.

“This gives tribal leaders an outlet to make their

opinions known on VA

programs,” she said.

Pawiki has four colleagues running similar

offices at other regions

throughout America.

“If veterans have any

questions, we’re a good

place to start and we can

direct them to the right office for the services they

are seeking,” she said.

Pawiki said the VHA

will reimburse IHS for the

care of patients who are

veterans.

“We want veterans to

get the maximum benefits,” she said. “Our hope

is that in one year veterans

will be using these services

more frequently. We want

to make sure that veterans

are enrolled in the VA so

they can get their once a

year annual checkups. Service connected conditions

can only be known if their

in the system.”

Pawiki said veterans

can enroll online or those

on the Hopi Reservation

can contact Eugene Tallas,

director of Hopi Veterans

Services.

Pawiki, who worked for

the VHA for eight years

before joining OTGR,

said veterans made great

contributions to America’s

way of life.

“Their families made

sacrifices that the general

public needs to recognize.

They made life changing decisions that marked

them for the rest of their

lives,” she said.

Pawiki said 9-11 was a

critical event and today’s

veterans experiences are

now related to that due to

the conflicts that followed.

“Nine 11 caused people

to step up and get more

involved in the military.

Now, these veterans need

and deserve these services,” she said.

A class for Hopi dance sash (mutsapmuenkwewa) will

Hopi Festival in Flagstaff will highlight Southwest Native arts and culture

HTEDC

Flagstaff, Ariz. –The

Fourth Annual Hopi Sponsored Native American

Arts and Cultural Festival

in downtown Flagstaff is

expected to be one of the

Grand Canyon state’s most

outstanding event this

year. Visitors and residents can experience the

best that Northern Arizona offers when it comes to

Native American culture.

Sponsored by the Hopi

Tribe Economic Development Corporation (HTEDC) as part of their new

tourism program Explore

Hopi (www.explorehopi.

com) – this Hopi-sponsored Native American

Festival of Arts & Culture

showcases Hopi, Navajo

and other Native American artisans including

prominent, nationally recognized dance groups and

Hopi cuisine in collaboration with partner downtown businesses.

The Festival in Flagstaff

at Heritage Square takes

place September 28th29th 2013 from 9 a.m. to 5

p.m. Set in the shadow of

the Hopi Building (a HTEDC-owned property), the

annual event draws sev-

eral thousand visitors for

the Festival and the City

of Flagstaff. This year’s

event promises to be much

more: The celebration of

Native cultures will include social dances, music

as well as traditional and

contemporary art.

Artisans include potters, carvers, weavers and

painters; notable artists

such as Dalangyawma,

Atokuku, Nampeyo, Honyouti, Quannie, Honahnie,

David, LaRance, Lomadafkie, Navasie, Chimerica, Koruh, Whitethorn,

Begay and Lavato.

“We are honored to be

associated with bringing

together the diverse cultures and art from the many

artisans and the Tribes

they represent,” said Kevin Lombardo, CEO of HTEDC. “This event will be

both a cultural experience

and an economic boost to

the area.”

Entertainment consists

of well-known, nationally recognized, six-time

World Champion Hoop

Dancer Nakotah LaRance, who will perform

the “Circle of Life” dance

that many tribes perform

throughout the U.S. and

Canada. Nakotah is also

a Native American actor

with many acting credits.

Ed Kabotie is a dynamic

native flute player of the

Santa Clara Pueblo and the

Hopi village of Shungopavi. His music reflects both

of these two dynamic cultures. Kabotie comes from

a notable artistic heritage

on his Hopi side through

paintings, jewelry and

carvings.

Other

performances

will include a Paaqavi

Hopi Dance Group, the

Hopi Sun Forehead Dance

group, Haaku’ Buffalo

Dance Group, and The

Serpent Trail Dancers.

Also performing will be

the Forrest Lake Drum

and the Hopi Rattle Snake

Band.

This year’s festival

is bringing together the

downtown

community,

through cooperation with

the galleries and restaurants that have agreed to

host a demonstrator. A first

for Flagstaff, the Hopi Festival will highlight cuisine

as an essential part of the

culture. Hosting Gallery:

Shane Knight Gallery, and

others yet to be announced.

The first Market in 2010

was started to assist artisans to sell their art and

crafts to provide for their

families, and for them to

share a little about their

way of life and rich culture. The Hopi Festival

brings to Flagstaff public

education by way of art,

traditional social dances

and traditional foods. This

event aims to bring the

City of Flagstaff together

with surrounding neighbors to learn from one

another togetherness, happiness and stewardship of

the earth for all people of

different walks of life. This

year’s Festival donations

will go to Child Protective

Services in Flagstaff and at

Hopi to assist with a safer,

better way of life for those

children in need.

“This festival is for the

whole family to enjoy the

beauty of Native American art and culture,” said

Lisa Talayumptewa, Event

Coordinator of HTEDC.

“Life in the eyes of an

artist is unique and reflects the beauty in life and

brings out serenity.”

The City of Flagstaff’s

City Council unanimously

approved a street closure

of Aspen Avenue between

San Francisco and Leroux

Streets allowing for increasing the size of the fes-

tival. A Goal is to partner

with HTEDC to promote

a diversity of arts, culture

and educational opportunities through the Hopi Festival at Heritage Square in

Flagstaff’s historic downtown business district.

“As the interest in and

attendance at the Festival has grown each year,

we realized we needed to

expand opportunities for

additional artisans and

presenters of Native American culture to meet the

demands of the visitors,”

said Lombardo. “Closing

the street to expand the

Festival’s footprint made a

lot of sense and we thank

the City of Flagstaff and

the downtown businesses

for their support.”

“It is exciting to have

our downtown businesses be a part of our Festival and hope that our

working relationship will

only grow stronger,” Talayumptewa said. “Each

year that I work on putting

this Festival together gives

me a feeling of satisfaction

knowing that I am a part of

a rich heritage that I can

share with others”

HTEDC extends a special thank you this year’s

Festival sponsors: Coca

Cola, Sterling Real Estate Management; Coe &

Van Loo LLC; Paragon

Hotel Corporation; Guest,

Shutte, Cosper & Ledbetter; Dallas Realty; Economic Collaborative of

Northern Arizona (ECoNA); Hopi Telecommunications; and Merge Architectural Group.

The HTEDC was formed

in 2005 by the Hopi Tribal

Council to create and harness an economic environment that will blossom, by

securing resources, and

provide the guidance and

training that allows Hopi

Tribe members to prosper

and preserve their homeland and culture. Headquartered in Flagstaff,

the HTEDC owns and

operates, on behalf of the

Hopi Tribe, the following

enterprises: Hopi Cultural

Center Restaurant & Inn

on Second Mesa; Days

Inn Kokopelli in the Village of Oak Creek (Sedona); the Hopi Travel Plaza

off I-40 near Holbrook;

Hopi 3 Canyon Ranches

near Winslow, Springerville and Flagstaff; and the

commercial properties of

Heritage Square, Continental Plaza and Kachina

Square in Flagstaff.

while some decided at the

last minute to compete in

the pageant, and they did

very well.

“This is an independent

experience for these students, we encourage them

to try and do this on their

own without the help of

their parents and we inform the parents of this,”

said Silas.

Judges: Anjanette Sangster, Teacher; Michael

Tenakhongva,

Teacher;

Albert Sinquah, Jr. High

Principal; Celia Sewemaenewa, Teacher; and Melissa Gaseoma, Teacher.

The student will represent the school by attending activities in the

surrounding communities

such as pageants at other

schools during their Native American Week.

Letter to the Editor

Tribal Member Concerned about Direction of Tribal Leadership

September 9, 2013

To My Hopi People:

I am writing this letter to

my Hopi-Tewa people to

give you my views of our

Hopi Tribal Government

and how it has been operating over the many years

that I have been watching

as a Hopi tribal member.

I really don’t know how

to write on political issues

or concerns. I am only a

political observer like a lot

of you. Please read and

see if you agree with some

of this.

I remember when our

traditional leaders helped

develop and organize

the Hopi Government by

electing or appointing

Tribal Council members to

work on behalf of the people. The directive by the

leaders was to help make

a government that would

represent our people when

we dealt with the United

States Government on issues that faced our people.

As the years have passed

since the Hopi Tribal Government was organized, I

have seen many changes of

how the outside world has

changed and how our Hopi

Tribal Council Leaders

have not kept up with the

changes in education and

learning the whiteman’s

way of operating. This has

become a big concern for

many of our people.

We are now in an election year and should look

at who we want to represent us. I believe that our

Chairman and Vice Chairman should have a higher

education college. I also

believe that our villages

look for representatives

that have had college education as well as experience in the bahanas world

so that they will make decisions that are good for

the benefit our Hopi-Tewa people. This is what

we want for our people

now and into the future.

This will make the Leaders more effective and be

more responsive to our

people’s needs.

I say this to my people

because we need help in

getting more services from

the Hopi Tribal Government, Federal Government, State Government

and other outside agencies

that will help protect our

way of life for our children

and for our future generations. In order to do this,

we need to know how to

be more effective in dealing with the bahanas.

I write this to our Hopi-Tewa people because I

am concerned and want to

see progress continue for

our people. I also encourage our people to get out

and vote to elect the best

person to continue to lead

our people. If you have

questions, you may contact me at 928-206-5955.

Kykotsmovi Councilman Johnson Urges Voters to Clean Up Tribal

Government This Election Year

September 15, 2013

Editor

Primary election for

Chairman and Vice-Chairman is set for November 6,

2013 and General election

is set for November 20,

2013. Finally the time is

here to throw Leroy Shingoitewa and Herman Honanie out of office. Some of

us have waited four years

to do this. Now is the time

to act and not just talk

about it.

With this in mind I

would like to suggest a

plan on how to get rid of

these corrupt officials who

only think of their own

welfare. These two have

intimidated the Tribal employees with their unjust

actions.

By the 9th of October,

all the serious candidates

will be interviewed by the

election board and certified. That will be the time

for a general meeting to

be held in which all these

candidates will present

themselves to the public. At the conclusion, the

public will select a Chairman and a Vice-Chairman

candidate. These two will

then become the people’s

candidates. Members of

this public will then go

through all the villages to

get out the vote for these

two candidates. This is the

only way to make sure that

the Tribal government will

be changed.

LeRoy Shingoetewa and

Herman Honanie will be

candidates for Chairman.

They will have their supporters who are at work

already. These are the

people who have benefited from this corrupt tribal

government. I think the

people know who they are.

This is the only way we

will throw these corrupt

officials from office. No

candidate can do it alone.

Otherwise one of these

two, LeRoy or Herman

will be elected and absolutely nothing will change.

It will only get worse. Believe me it will. Now is

the opportunity to clean up

the tribal government.

Council Reports

Hopi Tribal Council - Fourth Quarter Session, June, 2013

REPORTS:

Financial Report- During the

second half of the financial report, Tribal Attorney Norberto

Cisneros, Forensic Investigator

Mike Fahlman with the firm of

Grant Thornton, Interim Finance

Director Lillian Dennis and Executive Director Donovan Gomez updated the Tribal Council

with a written progress report on

the status of the Tribe’s Audits.

Mike Fahlman informed the

Council there were over 250

significant financial transactions

from 2010 that were under investigation but they have narrowed

them down to 10 categories;

however, amounts are still significantly high.

Ms. Dennis reported progress

is being made, but certain documents and information are not

being forwarded to her which

hinders work on the audit. Communication and cooperation is an

essential part of completing the

Audits and she stresses the need

for having access to information

in a timely manner. Dennis stated completing the audits is a high

priority of the Finance Department, and she and her Staff have

been working diligently to help

resolve the Hopi Tribe’s financial

issues. Dennis told the Council

that since she was hired on as Interim Finance Director her “first

round” of action was to review

and ensure compliance with applicable regulations, laws and

policies. She said outstanding

items still need reconciliation;

i.e, General Entries and Vouchers Payable. Ms. Dennis also

said requested information from

the Office of General Counsel

had not been received, requiring information to be sought

by other means; this prompted

a discussion by the Council to

which Attorney Cisneros offered

to work directly with Ms. Dennis to ensure information is received in a timely manner. She

also informed Council she was

unable to obtain documents involving the Seawall Contract,

to provide public defender services for those cases in which the

Firm has a conflict of interest,

a scheduling conflict or otherwise cannot represent the Tribe

(conflict cases).” The Tribe has

“determined it necessary or desirable to increase the amount allocated under H-110-2012 to pay

for the costs of legal counsel to

act as public defenders” and “the

Tribal Council has determined

that the source of funding to pay

for the costs of legal counsel to

act as public defenders will be

the Tribe’s unallocated working

capital account; and the Tribal

Council has determined that the

actions are in furtherance of the

welfare of the Tribe.” The Tribal

Council affirmed the procedures

set forth in Resolution H-1102012, until they can approve a

permanent arrangement for public defenders for the Tribe. The

Council approved and directed

the Chairman to negotiate with

and engage the services of such

prospective legal counsel to provide legal services on terms and

conditions the Chairman feels are

necessary and appropriate and

increased the amount allocated

for public defender services to

$100,000.00, which is to be paid

they were not involved in this

said he would be able to get the

to build the two hotels, there is

a possibility the Hopi Tribe may

never get the money back, unless

the land is sold.

Ms. Dennis also said the

the communities. I think to

a large extent that hasn’t

been fulfilled. My idea is

to consider doing several

meetings on a regular basis

with each village throughout the year; and it would

all just depend on how we

schedule or how I schedule such meetings. I’ve

even toyed around with the

idea of giving an annual or

semi-annual state of the

nation address. Other than

doing simple newsletters,

which is also helpful. This

would be more individual.

rect this problem?

Vice Chairman Honanie:

As I said earlier, it’s not so

much the programs that

are at issue with regard

to the audit leading to the

sanctions. The BIA looks

at the Tribe as a whole.

So as I indicated in my

opinion, 90% of the audit

question in challenge has

to do with the investments.

The 638 Grants and Contracts appear to be operating okay, but in the eyes

of the BIA they look at

the whole entity; not just

the programs or certain

things. If we could be able

to establish a schedule and

work together and be open

about how we’re making

progress. If the BIA is

satisfied with the progress

that we’re making, then

perhaps there is light at

the end of the tunnel to be

able to avoid a recession

or having BIA take over

the other programs. Also,

you have to keep in mind

that even though the BIA

maybe threatening us with

resumption of these programs there are various

steps that need to be followed and that is time consuming. That is considering if Congress will pass a

budget, if not they will go

on a continuing budget or

resolution.

Governor Lomaquahu

Jr.: One of the first things

that needs to be addressed

is that the Chairman and

Vice Chairman need to

get together and delegate

to what their roles will

be and work with one another throughout this process. Currently, from my

understanding is that the

Chairman and the Vice

Chairman don’t work in

concert with each other for

the Tribe. We do need to

start inviting all the villages back into the council,

even though we have representative there we need

to make sure that we are

transparent and tell them

everything that is going

on with the Tribe and what

they are currently working

on. We have two ways of

Q. How would you cor- source of revenue is from

Peabody.

Q. What are your

thoughts on this and how

do you propose additional revenue for the Hopi

Tribe.

Vice Chairman Honanie:

I think it not such a new

response to that, but there

has to be a broader look

at revenues. Yes, Peabody

royalties is one, but we

really need to seriously

consider royalty taxes.

There are things such as

the gaming opportunity

that we have to look at and

that might have to go back

to the people. In this case

about leasing the gaming

machines and/or considering a gaming facility

someplace, but the leasing

of the gaming machines is

an option for us. We have

to look at how much money that will bring in versus

actual casino moneys for

revenues. But doing a tax

ordinance or royalty tax

ordinance, I’m not sure

what the term is, but if

we can apply those to operations like Peabody and

other major corporations

that are on the reservation,

I believe that would be a

significant boost to our

annual royalty payments

coming in. In addition to

that of course, once we

line up our investments

accordingly and find good

areas to invest in then we

should be able to bring in

additional revenue through

that process as well.

Governor Lomaquahu

Jr.: This has been a real

long standing dilemma.

Yes, Peabody is the sole

funding source for the

Hopi Tribe. At an earlier

point when gaming was

first starting we had the

opportunity to lease gaming machines to casinos

for revenue, but as the

years go by that is becoming less viable. The casinos are getting more com-

petitive and they have their

own machines. What the

Tribe fails to notice is that

we are on a tax free base.

We need to really look at

our tourism, our ranch

lands off reservation and

make sure we use them to

the best of our resources

that are there. The Tribal

Economic Development

needs to do more and step

up for the Tribe. We have

several properties that are

dilapidated that should be

bringing in revenue.

Q. What are your

thoughts on the Hopi

Tribe’s economic development progress…if

any?

Vice Chairman Honanie:

That’s been somewhat of a

stall for many years, but I

think that we just need to

go on with it and really

determine what it is that

we want to develop on the

reservation. Housing is

one thing, both economic development and the

Tawaovi Project is one

thing and the Hopi Tribal

Economic Development

Corporation

(HTEDC)

has certain endeavors off

the reservation, and those

need to be strengthened

in my opinion. And other

projects on the reservation such as we may need

to do force accounts on

tribal housing projects

to employ people. And

whatever else we need to

look at. And toying with

the idea about bringing a

business or something like

that to occupy the building

in Winslow and hopefully

employ people and thereby

bringing us an amount of

revenue to the reservation.

The biggest challenge is to

create jobs for our people.

Governor Lomaquahu

Jr.: There is really none

right. There always seems

to be problems within departments and it all comes

to people to doing their

job. We need to really look

at how we can use our resources and properties to

their full advantage. We

have some property in

Flagstaff, downtown and

at the first interchange

in Flagstaff. We need to

look into Potash and other

things that are being proposed right now. Housing

has been a big issue. Hopi

Housing has been trying

to work with the Tribe on

housing basis. We are on

tribal lands and we are

on a different economic

scale. We need to look at

other tribes and how they

have been handling their

housing development. For

example the Navajo Tribe,

they have housing development in almost every

community. We need to

network with other tribes

as far as establishing housing on our reservation.

Hopi PD Welcomes New Employees

Crystal Dee

Hopi Tutuveni

The Hopi Police Department welcomed two new

employees, Captain Ismael

Arellano and Officer Calddale Smith. Capt. Arellano

is the Supervisory Corrections Specialist who

will manage the detention

facility and Officer Smith

brings the needed help the

Hopi Police are lacking as

they have limited officers

to cover 2,532 sq. miles of

the Hopi Reservation.

It has been several years

since they have had a Supervisory Correction Specialist at the Hopi Police

Department and Capt.

Arellano will observe the

needs of the detention facility and the community.

Based on his experience,

he believes that whatever

happens in the community has a greater impact on

what occurs in the detention facility.

Capt. Arellano transferred from the Eastern

Nevada Agency within the

Bureau of Indian Affairs

(BIA). Arellano’s experience in law enforcement

dates back 10 years. His

resume includes:

• Military Police offi-

cer with the Marines

where he gained his

correctional experience in conducting

detainee operations.

• Supervisory

police

officer with the U.S.

Department of Veterans Affairs.

• U.S. Bureau of Prisons managing the

medical

program

and medical appointments.

• BIA Supervisory Corrections Officer where

he was later promoted

to a Supervisory Correctional Specialist.

The Hopi Detention Facility currently has problems with being over capacity, issues similar the

Eastern Nevada Agency

where Arellano was transferred from. However, in

the Nevada Agency they

have implemented alternative sentencing and other

ways to modify and assist

the detainee population

and Capt. Arellano hopes

to implement those programs here.

“I’m a fan of alternative

sentencing. I do believe

this community may need

other programs that will

help mitigate the need for

incarceration,” said Arel-

lano.

The Bureau spends a

lot of money placing Hopi

inmates in other detention

facilities. The money being used to contract with

outside detention facilities

could be used locally or

devote to correctional programs.

He also plans on working with Social Services

and the Hopi Courts in order to find plans as far as

giving the Hopi people the

opportunity to seek help.

He sees being in detention as a last resort when

it comes to issues in someone’s life.

He is currently working

on case management internally to identify the needs

of the detainees and looking at communicating with

drug and alcohol programs

and finding a more productive ways of solving some

of these issues.

“This isn’t just occurring

in Hopi, but the entire region where I used to work.

The recidivism in arrests

is constant and I’d like to

change that. I’d like to be

able to break the cycle.

The best way to break the

cycle is to get down to the

basics and using Maslow’s

Theory of basic needs.

Officer Smith left for the Police Academy in Artesia, N.M. on Aug. 26, and Capt. Ismael Arellano will help

with improving correctional issues within the Hopi Police Department.

Of those basic needs I do

believe that the family is

very important and having

a connection with the community and give that person an opportunity to look

at life in a different way,”

said Arellano.

Arellano is Puerto Rican

from Chicago, Ill. He and

his wife have been happily

married for 13 years and

they have five children.

His hobbies include swimming and sightseeing. He

plans to take advantage of

scenery on Hopi and the

surrounding area.

Officer

Calddale

Smith, 35 is Navajo from

Chilchinbeto, AZ but resides in Flagstaff. Smith

worked in the construction field before applying

with the Coconino County

Sheriff’s office. He was

employed with the Sheriff’s office for five years

working as a detention

officer, service officer and

with the courts.

Smith applied with the

Hopi Police Department

in August 2012. Applying to become a police

officer with the BIA is no

easy task as it can take up

to a year to complete the

application process and

a lot of tedious work on

the applicants’ part. Smith

described it as taking one

shot, one kill.

“You gotta do it all at

once and perfectly,” said

Smith.

He was offered the job

in April 2013 where he

completed the drug tests

and physical examination

part of the application process.

“I chose this agency

because of the professionalism they carry,” said

Smith. “My goal is to

come back to the reservation and this is why I chose

this place.”

Smith described an incident where he had met a

federal officer while passing through Tuba City. The

Federal Police officer was

“decked out” from head

to toe, as Smith described

him. Smith’s reaction was,

“Wow, who is this guy?!”

He approached the Federal Officer and asked what

agency he was from. The

officer replied he was a

Federal Officer with the

BIA. Smith noticed the

vehicle he was driving was

different from the one he

had seen that read, “Hopi

Police”. At that point

Smith thought to himself,

“Oh shoot! Which police

agency did I apply to?”

In the end Smith found he

had applied with the Federal Police.

He is eager to help the

Hopi Police Department

and to enforce the Hopi

Laws. Before Smith left

for the Police Academy

in Artesia, he experienced

the daily grind of what a

Hopi Police Officer goes

through. He commended

the Hopi Police for managing things with the limited

officers they have and the

dedication they have when

responding to disputes.

While he was out in the

community with the officers he said community

members were thanking

him for coming to Hopi

and helping out. It was

expressed that the officers

needed all the help they

can to work effectively.

His first day at work was

his most memorable as he

was expecting to see a big

modern looking building.

Even though he didn’t

get what he expected he

signed up to work here and

he was going to make it

work. He is excited to finish the academy and start

working.

“I’m a dedicated worker and I have been traveling from Flagstaff since I

started here. When I get

back they will station me

in Moencopi,” said Smith.

On Aug. 26, Smith left for

the Police Academy in Artesia, N.M. and will come

back as a Federal Police

Officer in December.

“We are very pleased

to have Captain Arellano and Officer Smith on

board with our department,” said Hopi Police

Chief Kootswatewa. “We

have already begun making contacts with the tribal court, guidance center,

IHS, and other departments to identify how the

Department of Corrections

will begin functioning

more effectively and efficiently since transitioning

back under the Chief of

Police. Officer Smith has

some experience with the

Coconino County Judicial System which should

help him through the basic

academy.”

Footrace Honors Hopi Olympic

Runner, Louis Tewanima

Crystal Dee

Hopi Tutuveni

In the early morning

of Sept. 1, the village of

Shungopavi was lost in a

sea of fog; it had rained the

night before and the morning was chilly; however

that did not stop 300 plus

runners from running in

the most notable races on

the Hopi reservation, the

Louis Tewanima Footrace.

Tewanima was a distance runner who ran for

Carlisle Indian School;

in 1908 he won the cross

country race at the University of Pennsylvania. After

which he represented the

United States in the Olympics in London, England;

finishing ninth in the marathon. Tewanima’s resume

includes winning a silver

medal in the 10,000 meters

with a time of 32:06.6, setting a United States record

that stood for 52 years. He

was considered the fastest

man in the world at distances between 10 and 20

miles. He finished second

in the 10,000 meters in

1912 in Stockholm, Sweden.

Throughout the year the

Tewanima Footrace Committee is responsible for

planning and organizing

the race. They have quarterly meetings in which

they prepare t-shirt designs

and search for a Master of

Ceremonies for the event.

They rely on donations

from businesses and organizations to buy traditional prizes and to make this

event successful.

The committee members are blood relatives

of Louis Tewanima, the

Taylor and Talakte families. The family members

that make up the committee are: the Taylor Family, Quanimptewa Family,

Talakte Family, Sarracino

Family, Evans Family,

Milford Family. The officers are: Sampson Taylor,

President; Andrea Sampson, pre-temp Vice President; Christine Sarracino,

Secretary; Catherine Talakte, Treasurer.

“It takes a lot to prepare

for this event. We look for

volunteers to help with the

race, trail clean-up, and

set-up for the race. Once

the event is over we are

back to planning for the

race one month after the

race is over. It is a big

event that a lot of people look forward to. We

are happy to be a part of

the planning,” said Sampson Taylor.

With more than 300 runners who register for the

race, Taylor said they all

work together to make this

a coordinated event. They

don’t solely depend on one

person, but work together.

“ I have been very fortunate to have a committee

as hard working as this

one which the end result

is a fabulous event that

leave the visitors talking

about how wonderful their

experience is at the Louis

Tewanima Footrace,” said

Taylor.

There were a total of 206

runners who registered for

the 10k and 5k races, with

a total of 301 runners who

ran the 2 mile and 1 mile

race.

Every year the Tewanima Race attracts people

from all over the world,

and some of those runners

are Olympian’s or former

Olympian’s. This year was

no different as there were
