beauty of it all just takes ones breath
away. The delicate shades OF pinks,
blues and greens, blended together IN
a perfect color scheme, can never be
reduced to canvas. I have seen some
beautiful paintings Of the canyon but
the colors were 100 vivid. The day
was there, a 'rainbOW stretched across

the indian is not only self sustaining,
but that Mr.. Red Skin will have a lit

can go for miles and miles on roads
built by indian labor, through wheat
