"Suvoyuki" translated in the Hopi language means to accomplish work through a "joint effort." "Suvoyuki Day" is an open house on Saturday, Aug. 2 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Homolovi State Park that celebrates the partners who have helped to protect and save Homolovi-area archaeological and cultural sites from destruction.

There will be activities throughout the day, including special archaeological site tours. Cultural artists and demonstrators will also be on hand. The Homolovi Dancers will perform two dances at the event. The corn-roasting pit will be opened at 8 a.m. and will start the day's activities.

Journey Into Hopi Life, Culture

Homolovi, one of a series of many ancient Hopi pueblos found in the Southwest, offers the public the opportunity to begin their journey into Hopi life and culture. Like the modern visitor making their way to Hopi, Homolovi was a stop for the ancestral Hopi people along their migration route, eventually moving on and settling at one of the current Hopi villages.

For more information about Homolovi State Park, call (928) 289-4106.

Homolovi State Park is located five miles northeast of the city of Winslow in northeastern Arizona. The park campground is convenient to I-40 and accommodates large rigs, as well as tent camping. Tent camp sites to full hookup camping sites are available at a fee of $15 to $25 depending on the type of camping site needed.
