Predictable. You just knew the local Indians would come out boo-hooing about how the land is “sacred” and no development can be done unless it’s a casino/hotel complex dedicated to Waukon Tonka.

Depends which ones you talk to.

Navajo Supporters of Grand Canyon Escalade Speak
http://grandcanyonescalade.com/navajo-supporters-of-grand-canyon-escalade-speak/

Q: Is Grand Canyon Escalade in Grand Canyon National Park?

A: No, Grand Canyon Escalade is not within the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park. It is wholly within the boundaries and jurisdiction of the Navajo Reservation. The property lies within what was once the Bennett Freeze area, land that was part of a dispute between the Hopi and Navajo. In 1966, then Secretary of the Interior Bennett forcibly removed Navajo ranchers and residents and prohibited new buildings or the construction of roads, power lines, water lines or sanitation facilities. The Navajo brought suit against the US Government and the property was made exclusively Navajo in 1979. The Bennett Freeze moratorium was lifted in 2009.

Some maybe, but it’s the Navajo doing the construction.

Lots of pale faces gladly pay 10 bucks for access to the four corner's monument-- the only place in the United States where the boundaries of four states meet.

Paleface greenbacks makes great wampum.

Indeed. They are as bad as the Muslim with all the "holy city this and hold city that".

In the meantime, THIS is how they treat the white man's history in their care.
