Kayenta:
What’s in a (street) name?

Those of us who choose to live in Kayenta are accustomed to the wandering layout of the community as a result of morning walks with four-legged friends; pulse-pounding bike rides from Highway 91 northward to the highest reaches of the neighborhood; or just through simple, relaxing evening strolls at sunset.  And most of us at one point or another have been intrigued and even amused by the quirky street names we encounter.

So, whether you live in Taviawk (“setting sun”); Posovi (“canyon corners”); Shonto (“sunshine springs”)or Kwavasa (“eagle’s landing”), you’ve undoubtedly scratched your head on more than one occasion and wondered how some of Kayenta’s streets were christened with such unusual names.  Read on! Perhaps you’ll learn something new about the streets that connect us to each other.

Much of the underlying research supporting the selection of Kayenta street names has been done by Silvia Wasden, who’s been part of the community since the late 1990s.  Silvia has filled a variety of roles with Kayenta Development over the years.  Using Hopi (and other native American) dictionaries as well as other resources, she creates a short list of names based upon a variety of factors, including the way they sound as well as their translation from English.  Ultimately, the lists are submitted to the team at Kayenta Development, who determines which names to use and where to assign them. 

Of course, many of our street names need no translation and little explanation or justification.  Given our geographical location in the desert southwest, it makes perfect sense that streets honoring native American Indian tribes (such as Paiute; Cochise; Osage; Shawnee; Shoni;) and legends and customs (Kokopelli; Soaring Eagle; Wind Dancer; Crows Wing) can be found winding across the desert sagebrush and over culverts and ravines.

Similarly, should you reside in either the extreme southeast or southwest corners of Kayenta, you’ll likely live on a street that has adopted a native plant as its namesake (think Sage; Indigo; Wisteria in Willow Springs and Yucca; Agave; Mallow; Penstemon; and Cliffrose in lower Taviawk).   Wicasa (“strong men” and “protector of nations” may be an exception, but this long arching street intersects Talasi (“corn-tassel flower”) and Yamka (“blossom”).

No one who’s lived here for any length of time and heard early morning baying from a distant wash or who’ve had to hit their brakes to allow a reptile to slither across the hot asphalt would question the selection of the Indian word for coyote (“shinava”) or rattlesnake (“towab”) as community street names.

The towering red cliffs above evoke a sense of awe and spirituality from both local residents and prospective buyers alike.  Street names such as Tobats Kan (“home of the gods”); Taiowa (“sun god”); Tuweap (“earth”) Timpe (“rocks”); and Pahrus (“bubbling water”) emphasize the connection between stone and sky, heaven and earth.   The translation of the street name Tuomppian is less clear, though there is an Indian word “tuompiav” that translates as “sky” and would therefore align with this theme. 

Meanwhile, two of Posovi’s street names, Pavasiya (“song of creation”); and Talatawi (“song to the rising sun”) make one wonder what exactly their melodies might sound like on a windy day.

Sipala is often times (mis)translated? from Hopi to English as “peace”, though some scholars claim that the correct translation is “peach” instead…a pleasant-sounding street name regardless of which side of the argument you land on.

We referred to the feathered origins of Kwavasa above, but other neighboring streets are also named after birds, such as Keleva (“sparrow hawk”); Mochni (“talking bird”); Talachiro (“hot weather bird”); Chosovi (“bluebird”); and Pachua (“feathered water snake”…whatever that is!).  And what about Kotori?  The generally accepted translation from Hopi to English is “screech owl” but in fact the spelling of the Indian word is “tokori”.

One of the more curious street names in Kayenta is Big Soldier Court.  You can stand in front of this street sign and look in every direction and draw a blank.  So, what’s the back story here?  According to developer Terry Marten, a local man from the nearby Shivwits Indian reservation worked on many different projects during the early days of Kayenta’s development.  His name was Joe Big Soldier; naming a street after him was deemed a suitable way to honor his numerous contributions and legacy.

Prospective buyers visiting KHP’s office in the Art Village are struck by several distinct and defining characteristics of our community (e.g., our commitment to moderate land usage and growth; our harmonious co-existence with local flora and fauna; our focus on and support for the arts).  Our quirky and unusual street names only add to our reputation as being a bit “different” from the rest…a moniker that Kayenta wears proudly!

Thank you from Sue Gordhammer,
newest Ivins City Council Member

I feel so fortunate to live in a community that is so supportive.  During the course of the primary and general election, so many neighbors helped out with the campaign – you are the reason I am now on City Council and I can’t thank you enough.

I was honored to be sworn in at Ivins City Hall on Jan 6th in front of so many friends.  What a thrill to look out to a room full of familiar faces – seriously almost all the seats in City Hall where full.  Thank you!

So, what can you do now?  I need your support as much now as I did during the campaign.  Government works best when everyone is involved.  Please let me know what is important to you and let all the City Council members know.  I’ll be keeping everyone updated on my website suegordhammer.com as to what’s on the City Council agenda and in particular if something is impacting Kayenta.

Next up are the annual Ivins Neighborhood meetings which the Mayor hosts the last week of January.  We’re building a new City Hall and Mayor Hart is looking for our input as to what we want in our new building.  Please take time to attend the western neighborhood meeting on Thursday January 30th at 7pm at Ivins City Hall, 55 N Main.  Hope to see you there!

INKAS – Ivins No Kill Animal Supporters
Advocate: Lois Hewitt 

Like many of you, INKAS went shopping for gifts during the recent holiday season.

We used a portion of the funds we had raised, and funds donated by the community, to provide needed resources for homeless animals.  The Ivins Animal Shelter (also serving Santa Clara) received new cat trees for the kitten room thus providing more opportunities for play and socialization until they are adopted by their “furever families.”   We fulfilled PAWS (Providing Animals with Support) Wish List by delivering a cartful of needed supplies such as Clorox, kitty litter, extra large garbage bags, and paper towels.  OMC (One More Chance) received three new cat trees for their cat sanctuary.

It is important to all of us at INKAS that our supporters know how their donations are put to use.  Because of your support INKAS is able to assist our local shelter and non-profit animal rescue organizations as they provide compassionate care for animals until their special person arrives to take them home.

Please continue to visit our website at inkas4pets.org to donate and to learn about our upcoming 2020 events.

$150.00  2 hour, outdoor session. Second dog from same household: $100.00.  MUST CALL TO RESERVE  A PLACE FOR BOTH RETEST AND CLASS.  Dogs must be over 9 months old.  With Instructor Jay Smith: 15 years experience, mentored by renowned expert Webb Parton.

Southern Utah LOVES Rattlesnakes!  A rattlesnake vaccine only gives you more time before your veterinarian must step in to save your dog. Keep you and your dog safe by training them to avoid snakes!

Is The Training Dangerous? No! As with any avoidance training, it is necessary to begin with the thing to avoid: A live rattlesnake. The animal is de-fanged as a safety necessity, a painless process that only lasts about 7 days before they grow back. This allows the instructor to safely use all three association sources for your dog: sight, sound, and scent.

How Is It Done? Snake behavior modification is achieved with the controlled use of an e-collar. This is the ONLY use of a corrective collar at Woof! After the correction is applied, the dog immediately thinks they have been bitten by the snake and will no longer willingly go near a snake again. This is followed up by lots of loving from you and our instructor. 

Call now (435) 275-4536 to reserve your space- they fill up fast!
