Dr. Angela Gonzales

Hopi Education Endowment Fund (HEEF) Executive Director, LuAnn
Leonard, was awarded an
honorary doctorate degree
from Northern Arizona
University (NAU). The
honorary doctorate degree
was awarded to Leonard on
Friday, May 12, at the NAU
commencement. Leonard,
the first Native American
member of the Arizona
Board of Regents received
the award from NAU President Rita H. Cheng.

class of 2017. “Thirty-four
years ago I was sitting exactly where you are. The
year was 1983 and I was a
proud 21-year-old Lumberjack. Sitting in the Skydome
on commencement day, my
classmates and I were ready
to take on the world, filled
with the possibilities of what
lay ahead.”
Leonard told students
that like many of them, she
too was “first” in being the
first member of her family to attend and graduate
from college. Speaking
of the responsibility that
comes with the privilege of
having earned their college
degree, Leonard reminded
students, “each of you has
a contribution to make to
your community– however you define this – and a
destiny to fulfill.”
In 2008, Leonard was
appointed to serve an eightyear term on the Arizona
Board of Regents (ABOR)
by then Arizona Governor
Janet Napolitano. ABOR
is the governing body of
Arizona’s public university
system, providing policy
guidance to Arizona State
University, Northern Arizona University, the University of Arizona and their
branch campuses. Leonard
completed her service in
the Fall of 2016 and holds
the distinction as the first
and only Native American
to ever serve on ABOR.

Leonard from P1
Dr. Laura Huenneke,
NAU’s Vice President for
Research and Provost during
much of Leonard’s 8-year
tenure as Regent, reflected on
the important contributions
Leonard had on shaping the
state of higher education in
Arizona. “These were challenging years of state budget
cuts and rising tuitions. LuAnn Leonard brought fresh
eyes and a new voice to the
state’s discussion of university education. She reminded
the Board of Regents at every occasion to acknowledge
the diversity of students – including those from rural areas and tribal communities–
who should be served by our
university system.”
As a Regent, Leonard presided over countless commencement ceremonies at
all three state universities.
Leonard recalled how she always got “teary eyed as the
PhD students were hooded
because I recognized all of
the hard work, time and sacrifices each student made to
achieve their degree.” Never
did she imagine that one day
she might be among them
having the doctoral hood
placed over her head by the
NAU President.
Leonard received a stand-
Dr. LuAnn Leonard
ing ovation following her
commencement
address.
Afterwards, as she was congratulated by family, friends,
faculty and students, Leonard remarked, “I’m still a little speechless.”
The impact that Leonard
has had on higher education
has been felt by many. Justin Hongeva, a HEEF Board
Member who earned both a
baccalaureate and master’s
degree from ASU spoke of
the meaning of the honorary doctorate awarded to
Leonard. “As a member of
the Hopi Tribe and the Hopi
Education Endowment Fund,
I am proud of the work LuAnn (now Dr. Leonard) has
accomplished for Indian education in the state of Arizona.
Not only has she created support for Hopi sinom seeking
higher educational opportunities, she has advocated for
people of the 22 federally
recognized tribes in Arizona
in securing them in-state tuition rates for Arizona’s state
universities regardless of
their states residency.”
Throughout her tenure as
a Regent, Leonard continued
to serve as the Executive Director of the Hopi Education
Endowment Fund. Under
her leadership the fund has
grown in value from $10
million to over $22 million.
The HEEF has received recognition for their outstanding
work from the Harvard JFK
School-Honoring
Nations
Program and the Northern Arizona Association of
Fundraising Professionals.
Leonard closed her commencement speech by reminding students of the love
and sacrifice of their parents
that made it possible for them
to earn their college degree.
“When you were precious little babies . . . Your family, especially your mother brought
you into this world with great
hopes and prayers. Prayers
for a good life. Prayers for a
long life filled with happiness
and health. Prayers for a life
in which you would reach
your full potential through
education and experience. By
graduating today you can take
great pride in knowing that
you have helped to make your
mother’s prayers come true.”
Leonard is Alwungwa
(Deer Clan) from the Village of Sichomovi. She and
her late husband Bernard
have two children Nicole, a
graduate of the University of
Arizona and Joaquin a sophomore at the Ft. Lewis College in Colorado.

News Release
Hopi Tutuveni
The Hopi School recently received a
$32,000 grant from the First Nations Development Institute of Longmont, Colorado. This award will support the efforts
of the Hopitutuqaiki Board strategic planning, fiscal management and preservation
of endangered crafts.
The school will use the strategic planning to work toward its goal of implementing an educational process on Hopi
that is derived from the Hopi people, language, values and culture. The planning
will provide direction and ideas for funding. The grant will provide for a fiscal
audit of the school’s financial records,
giving creditability to its ability to use
donor and grant funds responsibly. Finally, the grant will assist with a Hopi weav-
ing class and enable the school to provide
an additional moccasin making class in
July, 2017, allowing four more students
to learn that craft. One student commented he is now able “to carry on a long-time
tradition of weaving to be passed on.
Also (I will be able) to help contribute to
family or clan by donating my work. i.e.
Hopi wedding or dance regalia.”
Hopitutuqaiki has provided Summer
Arts Programs for 14 years on Hopi and
is now offering classes more throughout
the year. Each year it provides a Hopi
language immersion arts based program
for preschoolers. The school’s Board
is now looking to expand that program
while continuing the arts/crafts for all
ages. More information about the school
is at the website: www.hopischool.net.

Free tablet, backpack, calculator, plus
room and board at college campus
Representatives from SIPI meet with Interim Superintendent Alban Naha
Students anxiously wait to board the Bruin bus for their trip to California
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HJSHS Public Relations Office
Polacca, Ariz. – Is there
a better way to end your
high school senior year
than with all your high
school friends on a 6-day
fun filled trip to California?
Hopi
High
seniors
choose a trip to California for their “traditional
End-of-the-Year
Senior
Trip.” The California adventure includes Knottsberry Farm, Disneyland,
Universal Studios, and Sea
World in San Diego.
Students will spend the
last night of their senior trip
in Phoenix then on to Flagstaff for lunch and the final
stop of the 2017 Senior
Trip is Hopi High School.
Twenty-seven
Hopi
High Seniors carrying colorful blankets, pillows, cell
phones, snacks, and other
necessities lined up patiently waiting as security
searched their backpacks
for contraband. Some seniors sat on the floor while
others walked around the
foyer visiting with friends
waiting their turn.
Hopi High School Senior Hawthorne Dukepoo
said, “The senior trip has
become a tradition at Hopi
High. Teachers and students plan the trip together.
All of us decided where we
wanted to go and what we
would like to see. Then we
needed to fund-raise.”
“The trip is important
because it is the last time
I get to spend time with
my classmates,” said Angela Keevama. “We raised
about $700 per person by
selling water, pop, held
carnivals, bingo’s, and other things. All of us wanted
to go to Disneyland.”
High School Senior Jacinda Yoyokie’s family
joined her in the waiting
line. Her mother Melissa Nicholas said she was
anxious about the trip and
hoped everything would
go well. Her dad Gary
Yoyokie along with younger sister Izabel and brother
James helped carry her luggage to the loading area.
Eileen Navakuku, Hopi
High School secretary
wished students well on
their trip and reminded
them to follow school rules.
“You are still students at
Hopi High,” she said. Navakuku reminded students
that they are representing the
school and community, and
to be on their best behavior.
Math teacher Carmen
Honyoti, senior sponsor, explained the trip is a
Tradition of Hopi High.
Assisting
Honyoti
are co-sponsors Raleigh
Namoki, Jr. and Mary Duwyenie. Barry Honyouti,
security, travels on the trip
to assure students are safe.
Driving the students on
the California experience
are Ryan Pawiseoma and
Delbert Nevayaktewa.

NGS is a three-unit, 2,250-megawatt, coal-fired power plant located on tribal trust
lands leased from the Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona. Coal for NGS comes exclusively from the Kayenta Mine located on tribal trust lands leased from the Navajo
Nation and Hopi Tribe. NGS co-owners have expressed their intention to not operate
the facility after December 2019; as a result, stakeholders associated with NGS have
been jointly discussing the facility’s future in talks facilitated by Interior and its Bureau of Reclamation and Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The intent of the planned listening sessions is to provide attendees with an opportunity to tell Interior officials what they think should be the future of NGS. The
Department will not be responding to comments or answering questions at these listening sessions. Comments may also be submitted in writing at the listening sessions
or submitted electronically before or after the listening sessions at ngs@usbr.gov.
Statements will be limited to a maximum of three to five minutes for each speaker
(based on the number of persons wishing to speak), to allow as many people as possible
an opportunity to have their voices heard. A third-party moderator will facilitate the listening session and a court reporter will be present to create a transcript of each session.
Navajo and Hopi translators will be present as noted on the schedule. At the beginning
of each listening session, there will be a brief presentation by the Department regarding
ongoing activities related to NGS.
For more information on the public listening sessions, please contact the Department of the Interior at ngs@usbr.gov.
