You were in four corners? Get to see mesa Verdi? Out in the badlands of
South Dakota I spent some time at pine ridge.

Yeah, we went to Mesa Verde; a truly awesome place. We drove way out to the
Hopi Mesas which are about a 100 miles from anywhere. It was torture because
they won't let you take pictures on the Mesas but we bought a couple of
kachinas from the carvers there. They also invited us to a ceremony which I
didn't catch the name or the purpose of. I thought it might be something for
tourists but when we got there, there weren't many other tourists but a
couple hundred Hopis. I got the impression this was not a commercial
enterprise when these guys in deer costumes started throwing produce, candy
and cigarettes out to the people standing around them. We also visited Zuni.
It is weird because with all that we decided we didn't have time to go to
the Grand Canyon.

In South Dakota we stayed at Fort Robinson where Crazy Horse was captured
and killed under a flag of truce. We spent some time at Pine Ridge and went
to a big powwow in Rapid City. There we were invited to a releasing of
spirits ceremony for a young man who was killed in Daddy Bush's Iraq War. We
got to meet Red Cloud's grandson and lots of other nice people.
