The annual Suvoyuki Day Festival will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, at Homolovi State Park northeast of Winslow. Those attending will gain insight into the lifestyle, language, celebrations and history of the Hopi Tribe and learn about etiquette on Hopi lands. “Suvoyuki” translated in the Hopi language means to accomplish work through a “joint effort,” and the day celebrates the partners who have helped to protect and save the Homolovi area archaeological and cultural sites from destruction. There will be activities throughout the day including special archaeological site tours of ancestral pueblo villages. Learn from carvers, jewelers, potters and basket weavers while hearing Hopi history through storytelling, music and dancing. The corn roasting pit will be opened at 8 a.m. and will start the day’s activities.
