    Crossing Worlds Hopi ProjectsSedona AZ (July 4, 2020) – A concerned group from the Hopi village of Shungopavi see the coronavirus pandemic is spreading fast and are concerned about the safety of people in their traditional village.  They have created a service group called Shungopavi Cultural Arts Projects to provide food and hygiene supplies to at least 50 households during the coming weeks of quarantine.  Stay-in-place orders and curfews are in effect in the village, but this group sees a need to reduce the trips in and out of the village and to increase safety practices.

    “We are reaching out for supplies that will sustain life and the health of our people. We want to have all the necessities they need on hand so we can secure the village and do our best to kill the virus in our village.   This will allow people to stay in place and not leave the village so we can have a total lock down for as long as needed.”

    “We are educating our people about the coronavirus.  We need to remind our own village people of our traditional rules that we have had in place since time immemorial which are part of our natural creator’s law.  This includes respect for one another.” (source: leaders of Shungopavi Cultural Arts Projects)

    “Today, Shungopovi is the sole remaining Hopi Village that still maintains and performs the complete Traditional Ceremonial Cycle. It is the last Sovereign Hopi Village with a fully Initiated Kikmongwi with all of the original Highly Initiated Religious Leaders that complete the full yearly Ceremonial Cycle.” (source: official Shungopavi village website).

    242 Hopi Tribal members have tested positive for covid-19 (as of June 30). The active cases in Shungopavi have recently risen to 61.  Shungopavi is on Second Mesa and was the first Hopi village to be established over a thousand years ago.  Today, Shungopavi has 836 residents with 725 families living in 205 households (as of July 1, 2019).

    The goal is to expand support initially to 50 households and then expand to more as donations come in.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
