CANYON WEAVER
The Grand Canyon is rightfully
listed as one of the seven greatest wonders of the world. Its sheer width and girth is enough to take ones breath away.
Its spectrum of color changes subtly throughout the day, crescendoing into what appears to be the canyon absorbing the very sunset itself.
The Native American communities surrounding the Grand Canyon continues to practice the traditions passed on to them from their ancient ancestors.
Represented among these tribes are the Navajo, Havasupai, Hualapai, Kaibab-Paiute and Hopi. The handiwork of
these people reflects their culture, beliefs, and spirituality. Whether it's the Havasupai basketry, Hopi pottery, or Navajo weavings one can easily see the created
world reflected in symbolism, color, and pattern. The voice of the people can be heard through their art. It speaks of the timeless grandeur and enduring beauty of the Grand Canyon.

STRANGER IN HIS OWN LAND
IF THE TREES COULD TALK
THEY WOULD SPEAK THE LEGENDS OF THE LAND
LIKE A ROSE THAT'S BURIED DEEP
BENEATH THE DESERT SAND.
BUT THE SACRED HEART IS BEATING
BENEATH THESE STREETS OF STONE

TO ANOTHER TIME
THROUGH
THE WIND I COULD HEAR THE WHISPERS
OF OUR FATHER'S RHYMES
EACH SEASON KNOWS THE WEARY
ON THESE DUSTY TRAILS WE ROAM
SEARCHING FOR THE SACRED STREAM
O,
GREAT ONE, LEAD US HOME.

So sacred was this relationship that when interviewed by a reporter a warrior of the northern plains was quoted saying "the great Father of Life who made us and gave us this land to live upon, made the buffalo....to afford us sustenance."
