Tuba (chief)
Tuba (also Tuvi or Toova; c. 1810–1887) was a Hopi leader in the late 19th century. Tuba was the headman of the small Hopi village of Moencopi, roughly fifty miles west of the main villages on the Hopi mesas. However, he apparently was an important person in the village of Oraibi as well.〔James H. McClintock. ''Mormon Settlement in Arizona'', 80 (University of Arizona Press, 1985)〕 Eventually, Tuba joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and later received his endowment in the St. George Temple. Tuba City, Arizona, was named in his honor.
==Early life==
Tuba was born in Oraibi, Arizona, as a member of the Short Corn Clan,〔Harold Coulander, ''The Fourth World of the Hopis'', 192 (University of New Mexico Press 1971).〕 or possibly the Pumpkin Clan. Hopi tradition does not record his birth name,〔Harold Coulander, ''The Fourth World of the Hopis'', 192.〕 but he told a Mormon missionary that said his Hopi name was "Woo Pah."〔C. L. Christensen. "Hopi Legends", ''Improvement Era'' (1921).〕
Tuba related to this same missionary that during the Mexican–American War (c. 1846), the Mexicans were in full retreat from the environs of the Hopi mesas. However, as they left they caused considerable trouble for the Hopis, and in fact one tried to steal a girl from Oraibi to take south with him. Apparently, Tuba's brother challenged the Mexican interloper to a kind of duel, and the pair fought with bowie knives in the village plaza. Tuba's brother was killed, but Tuba stepped in and killed the Mexican with a spear. This story seems of doubtful historical accuracy for several reasons. Among them, the story recounts that Tuba was eighteen years old when the duel occurred although he would have been in his mid-thirties at the time of the Mexican–American War.
Whatever the case may be, Hopi tradition tells that at some point, Tuba became involved in an unremembered dissension at Oraibi, and left the village to "be at peace". From then on, "Woo Pah" was known among the Hopi as Tuuvi, meaning the outcast or the rejected one.〔Harold Courlander. ''The Fourth World of the Hopi'', 192.〕
