Hopi Tribe

The Hopi Tribe of Arizona will add the Kuwan.omp’tap Sikisve (Computer Technology on Wheels) to its already very successful Hopi Tutuqayki Sikisve (Library on Wheels) from an earlier Enhancement Grant. The mobile computer lab will operate in tandem with the current bookmobile's schedule, in order to bring public computer and Internet access to the remote villages throughout the Hopi service area. The intent is to bridge the digital divide between those who can and cannot afford computers and Internet service in their homes, and to provide training that will increase the levels of computer and information literacy of the Hopi population. The mobile computer lab with high-speed Internet access will enable patrons to also take advantage of the many library databases and software programs provided by the Arizona State Library and the Navajo County Library District.
