“In fact, look more closely at Grand Canyon West, and it is as if the roles of the United States government and the Indian tribes had been inverted or exchanged. The Park Service takes an almost sacred view of the canyon landscape, as if drawing on an imagined Indian conception of the land, striving to protect it from encroaching pressures, noise and commerce brought by nearly five million annual visitors. The Park Service does not permit anything resembling the Hualapai Hummer off-road tours; it has banned helicopter flights below the canyon’s rim, like the ones the Hualapai offer. And it would not permit a permanent horseshoe of steel and glass to protrude into the canyon.” NYT | Sideshow | Hualapai brochure

i was just going to post this xentr0py. as a matter of fact i was looking for the past news on that, and watching ludwig's video referral on it...
i was going to name it; 'eagles realm'. ;.)
thanks..
heh. You're far more subtle than I am at times Orhan.
I was going to link to ludwig's piece but figured people were already fairly acquainted with the story. Better safe than sorry I guess...thanks
it was a tough one to select the caption for the news blurp. but here is another one; i did decided the same paragraph you punched in.;.)
it was fairly captivating how the roles were changed between the tribal sacred traditions and the park service.
i am not going to say great minds think alike because mine isn't...
but the H U A L A P A I R A N C H Destination brochure trumps all. far reaching with dr. buzz aldrin gig.! (which doesn't come up on my computer)
hahah. You're right. That paragraph is spot on. Academia is littered with post-colonial theses that speak its point.
I'm not buying your false modesty. In France there's an apt expression for someone like you.
Un homme de coeur.Besides, anyone that can reference a classic Rafelson flick in their "caption" deserves to keep writing, imho.
ah ha. thanks.. likewise then..
