Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

This is really not an easy page to read. I've edited it a bit but what's the point of all the demographic information when some of it has not comparison. Also don't most US cities have a taco bell. I think much of that section could be deleted. SuzanneKn 18:38, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How did Tuba City get its name?

I've googled it and can't find an answer Bob Palin 03:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tuba Time

The Navajo Reservation officially observes Daylight Time in sync with the rest of the country. Although most of it is in Arizona, which does not observe DST, parts of the reservation extend into Utah and New Mexico. Tribal government is headquarted at Window Rock Arizona near Shiprock New Mexico. Both communities having different legal time could be a problem. In practice many communities in the western part of the reservation remain on standard time. In my summer travels around Arizona I have personally noticed businesses in Gray Mountain, Cameron and Tuba City with clocks on MST. The school district and other tribal offices are on MDT. Federal Indian Affairs offices and hospitals remained on MST, but may have changed in recent years. Most historic time zone reference work has no mention of this practice. It should be noted though this is mostly for the benefit of Astrologers to create more accurate horoscopes. Birth times were likely always noted in MST then regardless of community practice. This can and does cause confusion in scheduling High School athletic competitions. The Arizona Daily Sun of Flagstaff called this "Tuba Time" after Flagstaff High School showed up an hour late for a football game. I don't know how far back this practice has been observed, at least since the late 1980's. Recent Federal government time zone maps have noted the reservation is on daylight time but I do not know if Federal offices and hospitals have changed to MDT or not, or if community practice influences this decision.

Generally speaking, Federal and Tribal offices observed MDT, or at least they did when I lived in TC in the early 1990s. The public schools as well as Greyhills and the boarding school usually operate on MDT, but there was one year I was there that there was a controversy over either MDT either early in the spring or late in the fall, and the public schools altered their schedule. But as I recall, they simply started at a different time while still on MDT, but I may be wrong. Some tourist oriented businesses do not observe MDT, presumably to keep in sync with the rest of the state, but businesses geared many to local residents go with MDT. Then to confuse things even more, directly across US 160 is the Hopi village of Moenkopi, which doesn't observe MDT. 173.30.174.133 (talk) 03:50, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona?

They're relatively small, but they're also based in Tuba City..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.17.85.152 (talk) 02:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC) and kiizhoni is awsome — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.203.38.233 (talk) 18:25, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
