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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Attention Hopi/Tewa Veterans!

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. --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/documents/tribal%3Ahopi_arizona%3Af309638c1ef1bf28.
