    logo_crossingworldshopiprojectsSedona AZ (January 6, 2015) – Home for Hopi people is rich in meaning and function within the cultural cycle of the year. Hopis are known for their ancestral multi-story plastered stone homes on mesa tops in northeastern Arizona. Today, with growing population and changing building styles, many Hopi families face overcrowding, have substandard housing, indoor air quality challenges with the coal heaters, inadequate plumbing, and much higher than average housing disrepair.

    20150106_crossingworldsYou are invited to this learn more in an free, engaging visual program and discussion at the Sedona Library, January 17, 1 pm: “Hopi Homes: Historical and Today–Traditional Insights of a Home and Empowering Solutions for Modern Day Challenges” by Joe Seidenberg, Program Development Director of the non-profit Red Feather Development Group, and Susan Secakuku, Hopi tribal member and consultant.

    In the past 10 years at Hopi, Red Feather has built eight new green homes and does home and safety repairs. With a focus on education and self-empowerment for Hopi people, Red Feather gives DIY workshops at Hopi such as weatherization, healthy home and green job training. Joe, Red Feather’s Program Development Director, has been instrumental in establishing many of Red Feather’s training initiatives that have significantly increased the number of Hopis served by the organization.

    Susan speaks eloquently of the meaning of the home and how it is passed on through the female lineage, and more. Her firm, Secakuku Consulting, provides services for museum operations, research on Hopi cultural issues, and cultural tourism initiatives. Before returning to Hopi, she worked for the National Museum of the American Indian and Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where she managed a national outreach program for tribal museums. She is author of Meet Mindy: A Native Girl of the Southwest”, a trustee for the Museum of Northern Arizona and Vice-Chair of Red Feather’s Board of Directors.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
