When traditional clowns enter Hopi village plazas as part of Kachina ceremonial dances, they often ridicule and chastise the audience, behaving in a way that serves as an example of what not to do.
That’s how Hopi tribal member Tommy Canyon views the actions of tribal Chairman Ben Nuvamsa and Vice Chairman Todd Honyaoma Sr., who have been clashing for much of the time Nuvamsa has been in office. Nuvamsa was sworn into his post in March 2007.
