Congratulations to Diane Humetewa from the Hopi tribe. She was confirmed by the US Senate this week, as the first-ever Native American woman federal judge. She is also the first Native American woman U.S. Attorney. Did you know that New Mexico Tewa speaking Pueblos have an important connection to the Hopi? The Hopi First Mesa village of Walpi invited Tewa people from the Rio Grande to settle on First Mesa as warriors, to help defend the Hopi villages from an expected Spanish retaliation that never came. The descendants of those Tewa warriors and their families are now known as Hopi-Tewa. They still live on First Mesa in Tewa Village (also known by its Hopi name, Hano), and speak their own Tewa language. -azdailysun, Betsey Bruner, Kelley Hays-Gilpin and Wikipedia.- huffingtonpost/2014/05/15/native-american-judge_n_5330273.html
