I think this thought came about as we are talking about the Navajos, who live the worst of any Indians I've seen. Yet, their casinos rake in more cash than most of the others.

Haven't been on the Navajo rez in a couple of years, but I don't think they have casinos.


The worst thing that ever happened to the American Indian was the reservation.

no, the worst thing to happen to the American Indian was the white man.

Todd, haven't always agreed with what you post, but I have great respect for what you did while on the rez.

Yep. Gone pecan.

Locker, Standing Strong basically stated that she disrespects the climbers (no matter who they are) who climb illegally on the Res. A valid point albeit a bit less articulate than Joe's posts. I'm not sure why she bailed. Maybe it was Kofi's hilarious depiction.

I tried to coax her back to get the full lowdown but verily, something musty have really ticked her off and she be gone. So it goes . . . I do respect Todd's perspective since he's the only one of us who lived out there in the thick of it.

very cool thread and film. I really miss the desert. How many routes are there on the navajo totem pole and what are the ratings?
