As we continue our travels in the northeastern area of Arizona, you can have the unique opportunity to drive through a few of the reservations.  Even today, a distinctly different culture can be found, when compared to the rat-race of daily existence most of us live in urban and suburban areas.  Life is slower, simpler, and involves a communion between the Native Americans and Mother Earth.  While driving through this area, it's not unusual for the animals to the right-of-way, so one must be prepared to stop and wait for sheep to cross the road every so often.

Much can be learned while visiting one of these reservations.  As depicted by the little girl below, native attire is displayed for ceremonies and other events, as well as when participating in non-Indian affairs locally, such as parades or festivals.  Their culture and costumes are intertwined within our everyday life, from furniture to art to clothing.  Again, you can learn more about their contributions by visiting our section of "Little Saguaros."

The above picture brings to mind that a number of you have seen many areas of our state.  How can this be, you ask, especially if you've never physically set foot in this area? Well, numerous movies and documentaries which have appeared over the past couple of decades, and continue to this date, have appeared on the "big screen" and television.
 

Okay, so I've got your mind wondering which movies you may have seen that contain footage of our are.......can you name even one? Want to see a listing? Go to this site to see a complete listing for Monument Valley in the northeastern corner of Arizona, and forMoab in the southwwestern corner of Utah.

Also, learn more about Native Americans, their culture and their contributions which continue on into today.
