Hopi Tribe Economic Development Corporation Makes Donations to Child Protective Services



The HTEDC is a corporation, wholly owned by the Hopi Tribe, that was formed in 2005 to foster economic development for the Tribe with a mission is to oversee the commercial enterprises of the Tribe and through other activities to create economic gains on behalf of the Tribe and opportunities for Hopi.

The funds for this donation ($10,000 total with $5,000 each going to organizations in Flagstaff and on Hopi) are the net proceeds of the 4th Annual Hopi-Sponsored All Native Arts and Culture Festival held each year in downtown Flagstaff and run by the HTEDC.  HTEDC is pleased that the event met expectations and we are in a position to make donations of equal amounts to the Child Protective Services both in Flagstaff and to Hopi Social Services-Hopi Guidance Center on Hopi.

This year HTEDC took a small Hopi market which traditionally had 30 artists and attracted around 2,000 people and created a vision for a destination festival for thousands of people to experience the culture and art of Native Americans from all over Arizona and New Mexico. In 2013 HTEDC opened the event to all native artisans with 76 participating.  The festival attracted over 10,000 people – an increase of 8,000 over prior years' events.

  2. 1 Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.

    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
