    Navajo People lived along the banks of the Colorado River. Others that were not Navajo but later became Navajo also called the river banks their home.
    The river offered life, protection, and peace. The waters fed the fields and the steep canyon walls offered protection.
    Today the Colorado River provides life and powers the homes of millions.
    But, in a world of ownership it is difficult to lay claim on what traditionally couldn't be owned.

    Beautiful land and teachings. I apologize for the ignorant people who desecrated the rock paintings. Hurts my heart. Remain free, proud and wise. Thank you Grandfather and Shane.

      Why would you apologize? Did you do it? Or are you a spokesman for them? Seem like an issue that needs to be addressed before you do something harmful.

      That was uncalled for. If someone's family member has died and you tell them you're sorry for their loss, it doesn't mean they are responsible for that loss. Same thing.

      As people that have moved into their lands and culture, many of us feel badly for what has been done to many of the 500 nations! Nothing can be done about it now. But we can befriend them and support them as I have done. Whether we are guilty of destruction of their ancestry or not, the feeling can be expressed, and is! Blessings and healing for our wise native friends. ❤

    My last name is Armenta I am Chumash from san luis obispo/Santa Barabra area(Cenral Coast California). I currently live 20 minutes South of Las vegas on hiway95 about 20 min from colorado river. There is a cove called Armenta's Cove. The water is so clear so beautiful in the summer I like to swim in the nice cool water. Although I have no ownership of the land and water in this area, somewhere deep down inside I feel my ancestors over centries have migrated all across this land. I feel connected to this land a water and no land owners government, borders or state can take that away. One Nation.

      😮 wow that is a remarkable incredible connection! Thank you for sharing. One people one nation that's beautiful. I love that so much ❤ my defector Scandinavian ancestors mixed with the local people along the central coast I won't say which tribe we don't know my Choctaw Irish great grandmother walked through this land on her way to California because Choctaw territory was becoming extremely uninhabitable with the dustbowl. I felt like I was in very sacred land when I was in Sedona, Arizona the area is vast and filled with life in the hardest conditions it's a miracle. The stories we all have transcend time and they are inside us no matter what it felt like I was back home and it was the first time visiting for me. I hope I get to see more of the Four Corners in the coming future I pray we all get to have a change of heart and love and appreciate this holy land and pay respects to the descendents of the holy people who inhabited it for thousands of years! ❤

The canyons when they dammed the water was just more genocide of the people's heritage. Plenty of people's opposed that way back.

    There will always be those who want to destroy but it does not mean any one people are all bad.. I hope everyone knows the world is a crazy place and has been for many generations. Lets all try to be the best we can, and not the worst. Enjoy life for it is not long. I thank you for giving your knowledge brothers. We are all united and created to find harmony to make a perfect balance. Life is ruff enough dont add to the sadness. Be positive and positive you will be. Be negative and destroy the honor of your family who fought and died to get so far, just to be brought back to the same line in the sand. Grow like the mountains do not waste your time fighting for imaginary lines. Love to all who are able to listen. Even more to the ones who cannot. Do not pity the lost, but guide, or your part of the problem. Bless this beautiful rock, and all that dwel appon it. Maybe one day we will dance happily together. That is my dream, and I pray more think the same. yee yee

Show human kindness and respect everywhere you are allowed to dwell on this mother earth.
