RE: Environmental Issues: Grand Canyon 4
So sad that the Navajo now find themselves in this position because of poverty! The Condor is a magnificent bird not so, glad to hear that their numbers are increasing! Very enlightening series you're writing @bigtom13.

Right after the war they jumped at the chance to build a large scale power plant. It added (and still adds) millions to their tribal functions. It really seemed the right thing, and it was a decision made based on the facts at the time.
The Navajo particularly aren't looking to become rich. Tribal custom doesn't define rich as 'owning much' but as knowing much. They are he only major tribe in the US that doesn't have a gambling interest. Which is amazing....
