Something about
Window Rock

Before 1886, the site of VIM
dow Rock was simply one of the
scenic wonders of Navajoland.
For many centuries this rockfor-
nation, known by the Navajos as
Tseghahodzani Perforated
Rock( was very important in
Navajo ceremonialism and rite
myths of the Tohee, or Water
Way Ceremony. 1t was one of the
four places where Navajo medi-
cine men went with their woven
water bottles to get water for the
ceremony which was held for a.
bundant rain. The Window itself
is in the Entrada Sandstone which
is part of the Morrison FOrma-
tion. The Morrison Formation
was formed during the Jurassic
Period of the Mesozoic Era and
dates back about 1 5000, 600
years. The Window has subse-
quently been formed by erosion
from wind, water, and blowing
sand.
In 1886, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, John Collier, Sc
lected the site for the proposed
Navajo Central Agency. Buildings
of russet-colored sand stone,
quarried in the vicinity, were
constructed for use by the Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs and the
Navajo Tribe.
Points of interest include the
Window Rock picnic ground, Ad-
ministration Buildings and Tribal
Council Chambers. The Arts 6
Crafts Guild is located in the
building just east of the junction
of Navajo Routes 3 and IL. The
Tribal Museum and Navajo Rang
er Headquarters can be visited at
their building located inthe Fair
grounds. The Fairgrounds is also
the site of the annual Navajo Tri-
bal Fair held during the second
week of Septe mber. The modern,
well-equipped Civic Center pro-
grams a wide variety of attrac-
tions such as movies, Wre sitting,
dances and an annual concert
series that has included Fred
Waring, Guy Lombardo. Mahalia
Jackson and many other noted
celebretieS.

Places To Visit

Fort Defiance--On Route IL,
six miles north of Window Rock.
Established as an outpost in 851,
it was the center of the military
operations against the Navajos.
During the Navajo Campaign of
1863-64, it was renamed Fl. Can
by and used as Colonel Kit Car
sons headquarters. The site was
reoccupied in 1 868 VIII en- the
Treaty was signed and the Reser-
walton established. Fl. Defiance
was the seat of fthe Navajo Agency
until 1886.
St. Michaels--TWo miles west
of Window Rock on Route 3. The
Franciscan mi ssion was estab-
lished in 1898 by Father Juvenal
SChnorbus with Father Anslem
w eber as assistant. The boarding
school was started in 1895 by
Mother Katherine Drexel, head
of the Sisters of the Blessed Sac
rament.
Hay stack s--Several large
sandstone monolithS one mile
south of Window Rock on Navajo
Route 3. The spring which is To-
Gated to the south ofthe hay stacks
and beside the highway was the
first stopping place out of Fl.
Defiance when some 1000 Nava-
JOS started their "Long Walk" to
Fl. Sumner in 1864.
Natural Bridge--A low sand
stone bridge located at the mouth
Of Natural Bridge Cany on appr OK
imately 4 miles SouthWes of Fl.
Defiance on the old Ft Defiance
and St. Michaels road. Near the
bridge are the remains of the
stone house in which Chez Dodge
lived with his adopted father and
his Navajo wife. There are sew
eral small Anasazi ruins in the
area.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

From early days through cOntem-
harmonic transcription to be under
lofty sayings about the rightness and
the authority of 1.-The people" as they
try to guide their own destinies.
= We believe it was Alcuin who,
about 500 AID, put into letter to
Charlemagne saying that political
hucksters have resounded throughout
the history Of democracy: "Vox
populi, vox Del" (The voice of the
people is the voice of God)
Woodrow Wilson put it little more
realistically when he said, 1.-The voice
of the people needs whole art of
porary times one finds some high and
stood"
Small wonder, then, that from time
everyone is a bit confused when they
see President, who presumably
tries to keep one ear to the ground
even when straddling political
fence, try to obtain one thing and
the Congress, presumably equally in
terested in doing what the constitu-
antS want, tries to accomplish some
thing entirely different.
Roscoe Drummond, in his Syndicat-
ed column last Fall, did rather good
job of explaining this strange phe-
nomenon by writing:
g.. The big cities - which usually
want the government to do more and
more and spend more and more - do
most to elect Il Democratic President,
while the countryside does most to
elect the Congress. The countryside,
favored by the apportionment of dis
trlctS which gives it special political
power, elects conservative Con-
greSS - whether Democratic or Re-
publican - while the big city vote
can succeed in electing Il liberal
Democratic President.
.. The political power completes
- the labor vote. The big city vote,
and the minority group vote - must
be won in order for Democrat to
win the presidency. This requires that
the DemOcatic nominee commit him
self to legislative program which
the Congress, dominantly elected by
the small city and rural vote, appar-
emily will not legislate.''
This situation appears good in that
it is vital part of the system of
checks and balances in government
intended by the founders of our
government.
But it still leaves situation in
which President, not too responsive
to the desires of the nation as a whole.
keeps trying to pressure the Congress
Is doing what the members of the
Congress, closer to the grass roots, feel
Is unwise. And there are ways in
which the President can pressure
many members of the Congress.
All of which leads to an examina-
ton of the machinery by which we
elect a President.
Because of the closeness of the last
Presidential election greatly increased
public interest in this matter has led
to proposals in the United States Sem

Editorials.

ate of great variety of changes to
be made in the manner of electing
the President. Thirteen separate pro-
posals are pending there, now.
These proposed amendments may
be divided into two main categories i:
Twelve that would abolish the
Electoral College; and
2-One that would retain the
Electoral College but would change
the manner in which Electors are
named.
Eight of the proposals discard the
majority principle in the election of
the President and the Vice President.
Five of these eight require only 40
percent plurality for election, one a
30 per cent plurality, and two a
simple majority.
Ten of the proposals permit divis-
ion of each States voting strength in
Presidential election. The other
three would, in effect, retain the gen.
eral ticket system for each State by
making the principal part of the
Constitution.
Within the first category Tin which
the Electoral College would be abol-
ished) there are several types of pro-
posalS based on three entirely diff
ferent principles:
CD The direct popular election of
the President on nationwide basis,
ignoring State lines;
% The direct popular election of
the President within States, giving the
entire electoral vote of State to the
winning candidate as is done today :;
and
90 The direct popular election of
the President within States, dividing
the electoral vote among the candi-
dates according to their proportions
OF the popular vOtei
The one proposal in the second
category requires the election of
Presidential Electors on the same
basis that the United States Senators
and Representatives in the Congress
are elected.
With all the talk about this matter
ana all the thought that is being given
TO IT, 1t may well be that before too
long the people of North and South
Carolina will be called upon to make
heard their portion of the voice of
the people"
with this thought in mind, we plan,
from time to time, to continue
series of which this editorial is the
flrst. SO that one and all in the Twin
City Community may understand each
OF the proposals and be competent
to make a decision.
While all proposals will be studied
with equal thoroughness, we expect
people of the Twin City Community
Will be particularly interested i'm pro-
