The Hopi Foundation Lomasumi'nangtukwsiwmani

Our mission is outlined in our name "Lomasumi'nangwtukwsiwmani" and signifies a community process of furthering unity of aspiration which blossoms into full maturity over time. The Hopi Foundation has acted on this vision of self-sufficiency, self-reliance and local self-determination to engage in proactive participation toward our own destiny as a community. Locally, we refer to this practice as "itam naapyani", meaning to do the work ourselves.
