LADIES IN TRADITIONAL DRESS @ HAVASUPU FALLS
Havasupais have lived in
Arizona ~ The Grand Canyon
Visibly for over 1000 years !
A Stone Age survival in the
Sophistication of Modern
U S A ! Their Reservation ~ A
Pristine 200 thousand acres !
Accommodating over 1000 People
I have visited several Native American Reservations
The American Government is now
Recognising the importance of North American
Indian Culture ! Every STATE is
Befriending and promoting Native Americans
EVERYONE should protect their CULTURE !
Thanks for visiting Comments Welcome ~ BRIAN
The HAVASUPAI TRIBE can only be reached by
an eight mile walk or by Horse. They are the
only Americans to still get their mail by Pony
Express ! To stay on the Reservation or to
visit you have to book in advance and carry
at least ONE GALLON of water per person.
There is no Hospital and people with severe
injuries have to be ferried out by Helicopter !

It's great that the preservation of their culture is at last being observed - oh that that were the case for all cultures. Fine write Brian.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ Yes it's a pity that groups like the GYPSIES & DRUIDS etc are not treated with more respect in the UK ! I have visited New Zealand and the Maoris are given equal place and all signs are Bilingual as in WALES ! The Aborigines less so in Australia ! I always visit the Native American Museums when I am in America. They have visited the University of Essex and give lectures on "What is an INDIAN !" Yours BRIAN
Good write, and like Michael I agree that there culture is being observed and hopefully preserved.
Thanks ANDY ~ The Native Americans are the "True owners of North America" hundreds of years before the Paleface ! He come ~ He take Land ~ He slaughter Buffalo ~ He push us into Badlands ~ Paleface He BADMAN ! Thanks for your comment ~ Yours BRIAN
A fine write Brian. Remote and unspoilt. I'll get me coat ready to visit them - and me horse!
I thought the number 7 bus went that way? Some wag adds: Nope, it's the number 11 bus you need!
Thanks STEVE ~ The GREYHOUND stops at the Top of the CANYON ~ You then have to walk or hire a Burro for the eight mile to the Base of the Canyon ~ where the Tribe live ~ not for the faint hearted ! Thanks for your comment ~ CHIEF BRIAN ~ HOW !
Thanks Brian. You on that horse?!
Buongiorno,
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Yes, people of the
blue-green waters!
A great write to remind
us to respect and preserve
all cultures!
Un Abbraccio e Baci...

GRAZIE LAURA ~ MIA CARA AMICA ~ When I was a BOY SCOUT ~ we studied how the Native Americans lived in harmony in harmony with Nature an tried not to pollute the environment ! We also had TOTEM POLES on our Camp Site which told the History of the Scout Movement which started in the OK in 1908 ! La cultura di Americani Nativi e molto importante per essere conservarte e incoraggito en ogni Stato di USA ! Baci e Abbracci e Amore ~ BRIAN XOXOX
I'm so glad it's so hard to find them! Maybe they will make it another 1000 years if we leave them alone - aren't their clothes beautiful!
THANKS LORNA ~ The clothes and jewellery worn by the Native American Ladies are breathtaking ~ lots of very beautiful bead work ! All NA Reservations are protected by the Government as is there lifestyle ! It is exciting in Arizona (for people from the UK) in a Super Market or a Restaurant ~ when a Native American Family come in traditional dress. We were in IOWA one year for the Independence Day Fair and several AMISH FAMILIES came in their Buggies ~ in their traditional dress (which the always wear !) America (as you know !) is a very interesting place dresswise ! Brotherly Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@
You did a fabulous piece on these Native Americans! I live near an indian reservation and it is fascinating to see how they live and the goods they make. What I would give to observe these people you wrote about!! Fascinating! Sisterly hugs--Christina
YES CHRIS ~ All Native American are special and they need to be respected and protected and their heritage preserved. It seems to me in the 21st C Th USA has made a special effort to make sure Young People in every State understand their Native American Heritage. The same is true of the Amish & Mennonites and other Spiritual Groups. Other areas such as Jazz ~ Country ~ Blues and all the different Regional Cooking and Art etc is very important to preserve ! We have a chance to study American History in the UK Open University and it is very fascinating. I did a Course on America in the 20th C and my two special areas of study were Country Music and Architecture. At the moment I am preparing talk on JOHN DENVER ~ One of my faves ! Thanks for your comment and thanks for saving it as a fave ! Big Hugs ~ BROTHER ~ Running Deer BRIAN ! @@@@@@@
My pleasure Running Deer!
