Today, I did some more proactive and in-depth research about Miriam Delicado - I even got in touch with Lee Wayne Lomayestewa, the Repatriation Coordinator at the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office and he was willing to talk to me both about Miriam Delicado and Clifford Mahooty. After speaking about the matter in-depth with him I have to publicly state that Miriam Delicado is no longer considered to be a suspected fraud, in my findings. While some of you may beg to differ with me on that opinion; I came to this conclusion after taking time out of my day today to actually do some 'on the ground' research and Mr. Lomayestewa also gave me permission to mention him in reference to this post.
What's going on between the Clifford Mahooty and the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office, or the Hopi is none of my business and I won't agitate that situation by commenting on it as an outsider on a public forum. Clifford is a friend of mine but I'm not personally going to elaborate on this matter because I choose to stay out of it.
Also regarding Miriam; While some may not agree with her outlook or may think she has a BIG ego, her work with some of the Hopi communities in Northern Arizona is legitimate and she is a regular visitor to those communities. The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office is aware of this situation regarding this specific thread, and I'm stating my findings on here to bring some closure on the matter, at least on my end, about Miriam. After talking to Lee Wayne, I came to the conclusion that Miriam has done a lot of good as a friend to some of the Hopi she works with, directly.
