CONGRATULATIONS
Class of 2018!

(Kykotsmovi, Ariz.) – What led to
the planning of the protest/march on
May 10, 2018? What was the reasoning
behind the dismissal of the Hopi Junior
High school board? Questions and concerns from parents and students wanting to know the full answers to why
all of a sudden changes in leadership
changed over night.
Students and parents waited outside
the legislative building in the unseasonably hot temperatures just for their
chance to speak to the Hopi Tribal
Council and to see if they could be put
on the council’s proposed agenda.
Parents and students who were concerned about the quick change in the
school board and how it affected their
education at the Hopi High School gathered however because Tribal Council
went into Executive Session were not
allowed to voice their concerns. The
sudden change in the Governing Board
leadership for the school, as a result of
Tribal Council taking the dismissal action resulted in leaving some students
of the graduating class concerned if

their diplomas will be legally signed or
if they would graduate at all.
Four (4) to five (5) Hopi High students along with parents and community members came to speak their
minds to the Hopi Tribal Council, and
to question why the standing Hopi Jr./
Sr. High School Board was dismissed
two weeks prior to graduation.
“As far as thinking about this or looking at it, it’s almost graduation time

“I want to be here to
support them, because
they lack the support
from other teachers
and students.” - Mina

and with no school board who’s going
to sign out their certificates? Also, the
teachers are concerned [as well]. Do
they still have jobs or what?” Mary
Siow, a concerned individual stated.
Toni Mina, whose daughter was present on behalf of her fellow classmates,
said, “I want to be here to support my

daughter and her classmates, because
they lack the support from other teachers, students and parents. [I want them]
to be heard today, and I’m hoping that
council will listen to us and to support
our views and concerns.”
As the council meeting began, students and parents flooded the council
chambers while some individuals stood
and raised their hands to be heard. No
one on council acknowledged those individuals. A motion was passed to have
Tribal Council enter Executive session,
which meant individuals not considered a part of Tribal council had to be
escorted out of the council chambers,
which seemed to frustrate the students
and parents more. As the protesters
stood and waited with no assurance that
they would get a chance to speak with
the Hopi Tribal Council, one parent so
determined to speak voiced intentions
of waiting all night, if needed. As the
wait grew longer, one parent said “We
have been waiting here since 9:34 this
morning and waited three hours, they
still haven’t said anything to us...

Tuba City High School Governing Board Deciding
Whether to Renew Teacher Contracts
(Tuba City, Arizona) – The Tuba
City High School governing board
had a meeting on May 14, 2018 to
address the school employee contracts in accordance with the posted agenda which included teachers,
counselors and support staff some of
whom are Hopi.
In total there were approximately
thirty (30) meeting attendees, which
included members of the general
public, media, school staff, parents
and several students.
At the point of addressing the
topic of minutes from the previous
meeting, one school board member
announced his desire to go into executive session prior to allowing fellow board members the opportunity
to complete their review and vote
on accepting the minutes. The board
president reminded the individual
that the board was in mid-review and
had not taken action on the issue at

hand yet therefore the individual remained silent. Once the action was
completed the same individual board
member expressed his desire to go
into executive session, which the rest
of the board entertained, his motion
and determined to go into executive
session. The action resulted in having other the meeting participants,
except for the board, being asked and
escorted into the hallway.
While the board met in executive
session, other meeting attendees
waited in the hallway. The group of
participants seemed frustrated with
not being able to be in the room with
the board members while business
was being conducted and seemed
compelled to share some of their
concerns.
Debbie Yellowman, a school counselor who was waiting stated, “Some
of us are bread winners of the family
and we make this our livelihood, and

every year it seems to get worse, it
feels like we are being harassed and
it feels like my job is always on the
line.”
Others present made reference to
feeling “unjustified” surrounding
governing board’s decisions around
contracts of certain staff and teachers.
Cheryl Onsae-Scott, Tuba City
High School freshman class counselor attended the school board meeting
to listen to the outcome of her contract. She stated “We follow all the
rules, we make sure we uphold the
policies that the governing board set
for us, but I feel that I’m always being targeted, it makes my job harder
to concentrate on, and not only that,
this affects my personal life as well.”
Some in attendance who described
themselves as teachers and staff of
the Tuba City school district also expressed feeling confused and angry

around the subject at hand as well as
the policies that the Tuba City High
school governing board set into place
which they felt were being upheld by
the staff and teachers and how when
personal feelings get into the mix of
business, it can affect not only the
daily lives of the teachers and staff,
but the education of the students as
well.
Approximately one hour passed
before the participants were called
back into the meeting room, the
tense staff and teachers listened as
names were being read by the board
members. Of the members in attendance, all those who are staff were
approved. It is known that this is the
type of stress educators and school
staff face every year around this
time, however with good leadership
and positive communications these
types of transitions can be better prepared for.

We want to be heard! story cont.
...whether we can go in or go home.”
In addition to the protestors making verbal statements some
resorted to providing copies of written statements and letters
to those witnessing the protest. Ms. Dushon Monongye, who
joined the protest for the reason of, as she described “being
a concerned community member” provided an eighteen page
packet which included copies of six (6) letters to Hopi Tribal
Council from various individuals ranging in dates from April
16, 2018 through April 20, 2018, and a copy of a MEMO with
a date of “7 April 2018” to standers by. Some of the document
copies provided by Ms. Monongye referenced concerns and
complaints regarding Hopi Jr./Sr. High School, test scores, financial operations, enrollment, personnel issues and grievances, board governance, requests for an investigation,
With the protest winding down, only one student remained
with her parent and with one or two community members still

waiting outside to be called back into the council chambers. At
approximately 1:30 p.m., the three-hour wait was finally over.
As the council meeting was almost called to a close at approximately 2:00 p.m. the once filled chambers had only a handful of protesters present, still with their hands up, waiting to
be acknowledged. One council member did acknowledge the
protester’s presence and asked fellow council members to allow
the visitors to speak. The concerned parents and students spoke
their mind and voiced their opinions and the few protesters still
present in council chambers expressed when the meeting finally
adjourned a big sigh of relief.
“Meeting with the council was a success, now we wait and
see if our voice had an impact on their decision with the school
board, only time will tell. As a parent, I stand behind my child
to make sure my child becomes successful in any which way
possible.” Toni Mina stated.

Driving around the Hopi
Reservation in springtime
lately isn’t a dangerous thing
to do, especially if you know
the weather patterns. Unfortunately, forces of nature
can still throw things off a
bit. Moreover, the patterns
of winds seem to be stronger
this time of the year.
Springtime is upon the
Hopi Reservation, and that
means all of Northern Arizona will become an extremely windy place. Don’t worry
too much about being blown
to the other side of the Reservation in this rough, rogue
breeze. Other effects of the
wind such as dust storms and
road closures might become
an obstacle on and off the
Hopi Reservation.
Spring is a transitional time
of the year and springtime
changes every year. Temperatures drastically fluctuate
and plant life begins to awake
along, with Hopi men planting in the early spring. Jet
streams flow from the north,
so colder and more powerful
low-pressure systems travel
from the west or northwest,
creating a dry southwest flow.
As these two fronts begin to
meet, a pressure gradient develops creating the powerful winds we see during the
springtime here on the Hopi
Reservation and parts of the
Northern Arizona.

The increase heat from the
sun also contributes to the
turbulence, as the warm air
rises, colder and more powerful currents are forced to
the ground also resulting in a
powerful wind current closer
to the ground.
Little Colorado River,
Black Mesa, Chinle Valley
to name a few, are places to
avoid during these high wind
advisory moments.
Don’t underestimate the
power of the winds on the
Hopi Reservation, but don’t
let them scare you off. Spring
dust storms are significantly
larger than the typical monsoon season. So it’s important to make sure you have an
emergency supply kit in your
car or truck during this time
of the year.
Another risk to think about
is fire. While there is not
much vegetation here on the
Hopi Reservation, high winds
can create the perfect environment for uncontrollable
wildfire. Make sure we practice all caution when building
fires outside of the home.
April and May are the perfect months to have the strongest winds, while June and
July have more moisture and
calmer winds. Preparation
is key when traveling on the
roads in the Hopi Reservation
and off the reservation.

Former Superintendent
of Hopi Mission School
Sentenced to Prison for
Embezzlement

PHOENIX – This week,
Thane Epefanio, 45, of
Avondale, Ariz., was sentenced by U.S. District
Judge Steven P. Logan
to two years in prison for
embezzling money from
the Hopi Mission School
located on the Hopi Reservation in Kykotsmovi,
Ariz. Epefanio had previously pleaded guilty to
money laundering and
wire fraud.
Epefanio served as the
Superintendent and Administrator of the Hopi
Mission School, a private,
charitable school funded
primarily with donations
and through participation

in government programs.
Beginning in 2012, Epefanio used his position
and influence to embezzle school funds and also
directed staff to provide
him money to create the
appearance that the funds
were being used to operate the school. Epefanio
obtained almost $1 million to support his gambling habit and to pay for
personal expenses.
The investigation in this
case was conducted by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Social
Security Administration,
Inspector General Office
of Investigation.
The

prosecution was handled
by Monica B. Edelstein
and Natalie Huddleston,
Assistant U.S. Attorneys.

“Breakfast With a Cop”
Brings the Hopi
Community Closer

Carl Onsae
Assistant Editor

Breakfast with Cop in full swing, bringing the community closer. Photo by: Carl Onsae

(Kykotsmovi, Arizona) - It’s a
simple concept, Hopi Rangers, BIA
law enforcement officials, and Arizona Law enforcement, along with
the community members, come together in an informal, neutral space
to discuss community issues, build
relationships, drink coffee and have
breakfast with a cop.
Community members came to the
local Ranger station in Kykotsmovi,
Arizona to have breakfast with a Cop
to get along with their law enforcement, but no matter why they came
to the local event, they are likely to
leave with a more positive impression of their local law enforcement
agency.
Marcus Yowytewa, Lieutenant of
the Hopi Police department, stated that this Breakfast with a Cop
is a statewide event, which brings

awareness to all first responders and
law enforcement, also to honor the
law enforcement officials that have
lost their lives while on duty.
One of the keys to Breakfast with
a Cop’s success is that it removes the
physical barriers and crisis situations
that routinely define interactions
between law enforcement officials
and community members. Instead
it allows for relaxed, informal oneon-one interactions in a friendly
atmosphere. This informal contact
increases trust in police officers as
individuals which is the foundation
to building partnerships and engaging in community problem solving.
With the education that these brave
officials do for the community members it brings the community closer
and make the community safer.

Special Meeting to
Discuss Hopi Education on
the Hopi Reservation

Carl Onsae
Assistant Editor
On Wednesday, May 30 and May 31,
2018 the Public Works, LLC in conjunction with the Tribal Education
Department (TED) Advisory Committee will have a two-day meeting at the Hopi High School library
to discuss the future of the Hopi
schools. The meeting is taking place
after work has been conducted by
the Hopi Department of Education
for almost a year with Public Works,
LLC to conduct a comprehensive
analysis on the Hopi schools and
drafting recommendations to re-design a successful, high quality education system that meets the needs
and demands of education here on
the Hopi reservation. Public Works,
LLC will give a report and will give
the public the opportunity to reflect
and discuss the next steps to better
the education here on the Hopi reservation.

The TED advisory committee consists of representatives from the
Hopi Tribal Chairman’s office, the
Health and Education board, the
Hopi Board of Education, the Hopi
Department of Education and Workforce Development, and school administrators.
Everyone in the Hopi community
is welcome to join the discussion to
make better the educational system
that this community needs.
Questions and to register for the
meeting, can be directed to
Dr. Noreen Sakiestewa - Hopi Department of Education & Workforce Development at 928-734-3501
or by contacting Judy Youvella Hopi Board of Education office at

DROUGHT CONDITIONS
ON HOPI
The O.R.M thanks all the ranchers
who attended the Hopi Conservation
District’s Drought Workshop held on
April 26. Many issues came out of this
workshop and are now being looked at
and worked on. We also hope you take
advantage of the funding available to
the ranchers and farmers through the
USDA FSA programs.
Drought has now become a big topic
within our State and on our reservation
due to the lack of moisture. We have
received very little moisture during the
winter and spring months. Right now
we are at 82 days since we last received
any significant moisture.
We at the Office of Range Management have the responsibility to help
conserve, preserve and protect our
rangeland natural resources when conditions, such as drought, threaten our land
base. How we protect our rangelands
goes back to the regulations/ordinances we have which address land issues.
For the Office of Range Management
this would include the Drought Contingency Plan, the Integrated Management
Plans for woodlands and range, and Ordinance 43.
Right now ranchers should be looking at their range units to determine
vegetation quantity and quality, water
availability, livestock condition. Based
on what you see you should be making
adjustments to your livestock numbers
to fit the current conditions within your
range units. Don’t wait till the last minute, do this now.
We are encouraging all ranchers to
start their own reduction of their herds
by:
1.CULLING: get rid of dry cows,
yearling heifers you will not use for replacement and 2 year old heifers. Get
rid of your steers, they should not be on
the range anyway if they are 6 months
or older.

2.SELL: Look at selling your 2018
calf crop by June 1. The buyers like
calves weaned from their moms and
able to eat feed. They will pay more for
them.
3.GET OUT OF THE CATTLE
BUSINESS FOR A WHILE: If you are
having to already supplement with hay
and mineral/salt blocks and are having
to haul water continuously then you
may want to consider selling your herd
till things get better. If you notify the
Office of Range Management in writing
of what you plan to do it will not affect
your grazing permit status. Grazing
permits for Hopi ranchers are good for
5 years.
Other steps to be taken include:
1.Supplementation with 12%-37%
Crude Protein blocks or tubs. This is
needed due to the vegetation lacking the
essential mineral and vitamins needed
to keep the livestock in good condition.
Most of what is out there is last year’s
growth. Protein will help to digest the
dry feed that the livestock are eating
out on the range. It breaks it down into
energy needed by your cows. Trace
Mineral Salt blocks are also effective.
Purchasing hay is too expensive and not
worth the effort.
Use your common sense, if your livestock are losing weight, are down to a
body score of 2 or a low 3, you have no
new growth and don’t have the means
to buy supplemental feed and you are
hauling water every day…it’s time to
seriously think about selling out or reducing your livestock drastically.
The Office of Range Management
can assist you with hauling if you have
large amounts of livestock to be removed from your range area. We will
help haul if there are 15 head or more.
There is a cost of $5.00/head to cover
the gas and transportation cost. If you
need assistance you can call the Keams
Canyon office at 928-738-0014.

media source. Are journalists entitled
to protection by certain media shield
laws in this context?
The Free Press Clause protects
the right of individuals to express
themselves through publication and
dissemination of information, ideas
and opinions without interference,
constraint or prosecution by any government. This right was described in
Branzburg v. Hayes as “a fundamental personal right” that is not confined
to newspapers and periodicals.
In the Lovell v. City of Griffin case
(1938), Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes defined “press” as “every
sort of publication which affords a
vehicle of information and opinion.”
This right has been extended to media
including newspapers, books, plays,
movies, and video games.
What does this have to do with the
Hopi Nation? Our tribal government
does have censorship over certain
types of media. Certain types of me-

dia or the general public have asked
the Hopi government for certain types
public information and have requested
the Hopi government to allow “Public
Meetings” to be accessible by the media and general public but have been
denied. Do we need to know what’s
going on in these “Meetings?” Can
the Hopi government have the right to
say “No” when it comes to freedom
of the press? Is the first amendment
just a guideline for the Hopi government? Can the Hopi government create its own internal censorship laws?
Also, can the Hopi government put
restrictions on certain types of media
outlets that practice the first amendment? You could be involved in your
democracy by asking these types of
questions and becoming involved
with what happens on the Hopi reservation. So with this, it begs the
question, how will you be the judge
on what is really Hopi’s freedom of
speech and freedom of the press?

OPINION

Hopi Nation and
the Freedom of
Speech
Freedom of Speech on the Hopi Reservation
By: Carl Onsae

When we hear the phrase “Freedom
of Speech or Freedom of the Press”,
we instantly think that we can speak,
write, or draw freely about our minds
without any penalties. Although, the
Amendment that made it possible to
speak, write or draw freely also has
limitations.
The First Amendment protects a
person’s right to convey his or her
own message, to voice one’s own
ideas and not to be compelled to publicly disclose personal beliefs and
associations. When any government
tries to compel a person to speak its
message, these rights are seriously
damaged.
On the Hopi Reservation, freedom
of speech is not a major issue to think
of when it comes to having the freedom of speech, Hopi children and
adults think that the reservation is a
safe place to express their freedom
of speech and freedom of the press.
Although, Hopis use various forms of

free speech every day, whether they
speak, draw, paint, or write about
their thoughts and about the issues
that are happening on the reservation.
It is non-threatening to the Hopi nation when Hopis use this amendment
in this context, but when the Hopi
Tribe controls the media outlets utilized to bring about attention to the
different issues, it may appear to the
Hopis as problematic.
The right to free speech is likewise
violated when people are required
to associate themselves with an idea
with which they disagree with.
When we talk about media and
the “Freedom of the Press” there
is a clause called, the “Free Press
Clause”. These free speech and free
press clauses have been interpreted as providing the same protection
to speakers as to writers, except for
wireless broadcasting which has been
given less constitutional protection.
This law is used to protect the multi-
