Key word: Village. We have just enough of everything to sustain living. And I mean JUST ENOUGH. Not only that, the village evolved into what it is today over time. At no point did someone come along and build everything you just listed; it happened individually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-29436737063626106622012-03-29T16:01:44.762-07:002012-03-29T16:01:44.762-07:00I find it difficult to understand how a Tribe can ...I find it difficult to understand how a Tribe can complain about making snow on their sacred mountain, yet feel comfortable building a huge development in a culturally sensitive area.

Personally, I'm not thrilled at the prospect of that much development in and around the canyon. It's not freakin' Disneyland. But I do understand that tourism dollars are important to the local economy -- so I hope a compromise can be reached.Emily Devenporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256608640761617862noreply@blogger.com
