The People

I can’t say enough about the great Navajo people I met on this trip. Everyone was very hard working and cordial. They put in very long hours and really appreciated the chance to work with me. I arranged for Chief Tsosie to do a private portrait session with me at night within the canyon. At that point he had not been to sleep in 48 hours. I had also arranged a private evening tour with a guide, Milo, who took me to his home country 30 miles south of Page, high up on the plateau overlooking Bitter Springs. He called this his backyard. It was nice to get a chance to learn a little bit about the Navajo. Just keep in mind, this is not the Wild West and that they do all this to make a living for fees and tips are appreciated by all. It is always a good policy to let them know that you appreciate their work and then reward them appropriately.
