About Restoration
RESTORATION is involved in projects that benefit the Hopi people and the village. We take a participative role by coming alongside the traditional Hopi villages and its leaders, helping them to accomplish their goals and objectives.
RESTORATION helps in providing funds and labor to repair homes and build additions for the elderly and for those who genuinely do not have financial means to better their living conditions. This is accomplished through a joint effort with the Hopi families. Listed below are a few of the construction projects Restoration has accomplished with the help of the families and villages.
- The reconstruction of a portion of the Bear Clan house in Sipaulovi. This was accomplished with members of the family.
- A new roof on the home of the Hotevilla Gospel Church and several projects on the church building itself.
- A full basketball court for two villages.
- Computers for village community buildings and individuals.
- A new roof on the Songopavi Community Building. This was a joint effort with many individuals from the village.
- Plastering the plaza of Sichomovi on First Mesa, also done with village residents.
- Addition and a new roof for the Corn Clan home in Mishongnovi on Second Mesa.
- A new porch with handicap access for Ponse Hall, the Visitor Center for the First Mesa Consolidated Villages.
- Many other projects were done for elderly and widows in traditional villages.
RESTORATION sponsors special summer and winter activities held in the traditional villages for the young and elderly. Several of the photos below are of the 2009 Family Fun Night.
RESTORATION fully supports the visitor etiquette of the Hopi people. Our photographs have all been approved by village leaders and members of the families photographed. Below are a few of our many Hopi friends.
