MORNING (de la vai) KACHINA
The colorful religious ceremonies of the Hopi Indians of Northern Arizona are notable
for the ir wildly be(lutiful 'Kachina' dances. The masked dancers, chanting in age-old
cadences, are at the very heart of Hopi religious and emotional life, and have been for
more centuries than anyone surely knows. Rituals follow a'tradition so pure that the
white man's civilization has not visibly affected it.
Many Hopis consider the-Morning Kachina, symbolizing the coming of dawn, one of
their most handsome. Ceremonies are marked by chants and the sound of copper bells.
Some of the bells used by the Morning Kachina impersonators were brought in by
Span ish Padres in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Four large Kachinas are on display at The Arizona Bank here in Flagstaff, and an extensive
collection in The Arizona Bank head office at 44 West Monroe in Phoenix.
The Arizona Bank Kachinas were carved by native artisans on the Third Mesa Hopi
village of Oraibi, one of the oldest inhabited communities on the North American
continent. Great care was taken to ensure authenticity, not only of masks and dress but
of colors as well.

AS \AlE SEE IT
THE SCENIC VIEW FROM BEHIND THE SEAT BELT
This is the season when all responsible editors take pen in
hand to write safety editorials. We too.
Northern Arizona is a very heavily traveled area during
the summer - there is a lot to see here; the Grand Canyon,
the Pow Wow, Oak Creek Canyon, etc.
We do not pretend to be experts on what causes auto acci­dents,
but we have seen the affects. Even the minor fender­bender
can put an awful dent into your vacation outlook.
The more serious ones can cause problems that last a life­time.
This then is no vacation.
Of all common sense approaches to the situation we have
even seen, the seat belt appears to be the greatest insurance
policy you can buy - and we mean seat belts for the kids too.
We've seen first hand the repercussions of a high speed
meeting between a man with a car and a horse. The horse
lost and the car ended up in a less than desirable shape
(unless you like cars without windshields). The homo sapien?
As we walked up to him, he was undoing his seat belt. The
half inch cut on his ear looked as though it needed a stitch,
but a bandage had to do for the time being.
Before you start on your vacation this year, why not take
out a very personal insurance policy - seat belts for every
member of the family. We know you are a good driver - but
how about the other guy?
We're selfish. 1) The life you save may be ours. 2) We're
a young, growing magazine - we can't afford to lose any
subscribers - and we mean you.
A WORD ABOUT PUBLICATION DATES
Western Gateways is a quarterly, written for you and your
vacation planning. We see no reason to publish four issues
just to suit a calendar schedule. Therefore, none are printed
during the summer months - you have already made your
plans and are on vacation.
6
Our Autumn issue, on the Canyonlands Highway, will be
out October 1st - the Winter issue, on Northern Arizona,
comes out January 1st .- the Spring issue, on Lake Powell, is
out April 1st - and the Summer issue, on the Indian Pow
Wow at Flagstaff, will be out by June 1st.
We do not wish to be a pretty picture magazine bilt rather
a service magazine to those vacationing in the great south­west.
This is why we make extensive use of maps - detailed
stories of present conditions and first hand accounts.

And another cowboy bites the dust - in this
case, almost literally. Bareback riding
requires a lot of stick-to-itiveness which this
poor fella just didn't have. The Indians
compete over the three days in all the regular
rodeo categories for the prize money. As
with any other rodeo, the entrants pay an
entry fee all of which is returned as a part
of the prize money awarded. Besides the
monetary competition, there is a great deal
of personal rivalry between the different
tribes who take part.

States restricted entirely to Indians. Some of the
participants come long distances to compete for
over $20,000 in prize money. The rodeo starts at
1:30 P.M. and, like the rest of the Pow Wow, it
is held on each of the three days.

tribe has their own individual religion, which has
come down through the centuries. In many
instances their beliefs are even more deep rooted

Pow Wow is over, some of the tribes will undergo
a cleansing ceremony, in private, to apologize
to their Deities for exhibiting their religion

Pow Wow is always held in July, you must
remember that Flagstaff is at 7000 feet altitude
and therefore it does get cool in the evenings.

As serious as an Astronaut. This
young Navajo carefully pilots his
craft around and around. Along with
the Indian events at the Pow Wow,
there is always a carnival. This is a
great attraction to the Indians who
attend the Pow Wow each year. In
fact, for the youngster the carnival
is probably the most exciting part
of the Pow Wow, which just goes to
show children are all the same
everywhere.
For some little Indians, there are just too
many white men. An Indian baby contest is held
just before the opening day of the Rodeo. Last
year's winner was not accustomed to
all the pUblicity and camera fans. She did her
best to be patient, but after all a girl can
put up with just so much without her mommy.
That is where this little maiden is headed,
prize money firmly in hand. Maybe someday
she will grow up to be the Pow Wow Princess
for the entire three day event.
Dolly Moore, a Chippewa Indian, was the
reigning Princess of the 1964 Pow Wow. This
was the first year they held this contest
which is now an annual event. Each day Dolly
led the parade through downtown Flagstaff
and officiated at the opening of the Rodeo
at the Pow Wow grounds.

Housed in this museum, depicting
that era of the late 1800's and early
1900's are pictures, papers, records,
and equipment used, both in the
homes and the industries. One of the
oldest relics on permanent display is
the battle-scarred original flag flown
on the mast of the old battle ship
Constitution (Old Ironsides) which
saw service in the Battle of Tripoli in
the .Mediterranean, and later in the

by these three towns.
In one downstairs room is a glass
enclosed closet in which hang beaded,
bustled, berufHed gowns of the mat­rons
of yesteryear. Surrounding these
lovely costumes are the appliances
with which they worked, cooked and
kept their families happy. Sad irons,
which smoothed many a beautiful
hand-sewn white dress shirt, with its
rufHes of lace, sit abandoned among
the two and four bladed food chop­pers,
wooden potato mashers and roll­ing
pins, butter molds, prints and
bowls, iron griddles, skillets and wafHe
irons which have long since conceded
to electrical appliances.
A beautiful organ, roll-topped desks,
phonographs, pictures of early sett-lers,
their homes and their places of
business, rocking chairs still beauti­fully
upholstered and some built to
accommodate ladies in bustles or
hoops are on display.

through the untiring efforts of Harry

drab wool comfortless looking com­forter

Beside the bed is an incommodious
commode on which is the all-pervad­ing
fumigator, packages of Crazy
Crystals - the cure for all ills - a
small empty case for eye glasses, a
rusty tobacco can, a corncob pipe, and
a box of Copenhagen snuff. A small
flat-topped trunk sits on the well worn
linoleum at the foot of the bed. The
three or four nails on the dark gray
walls were no doubt ample closet
space. A button beside the door (if he
could get to it) like an old-fashioned
door bell, would bring help to the ill.
No pictures adorn the walls, but an
election campaign sign hangs over the
commode stating that more money for
the indigent was needed. $15 per
month seemed a bit inadequate.

engine, used 40 years ago, and one
of the boats in which Emery and Ells­worth

Invitation to an Encampment
by Alice Den Dooven
The Indian encampment at the Flag­staff
Pow Wow should not be missed.
It has the enchantment of the unusual
and the fascination of the unknown.
Here, if you tread softly and observe
quietly, you can see families living a
way which was lived a hundred years
ago.
With a soft swirl of voluminous
skirts, the mother will turn from the
small campfire ~nd feed her family
from the deep and blackened pot. The
odors of mutton stew pervade the
camp and the juniper woodfires all
add their aromas.
Care to sample fried bread? Small
con sessions have been set up by en­terprising
Indians and there it is,
ready to be sampled. Watch the old
woman in back, patting the bread
with wondrous dexterity, over and
over and then flipping it into the hot
grease. Stew, chile, or almost any­thing,
can be had with this local deli­cacy.
Tear apart these puffed up
circles of bread and enjoy a meal at
midnight or earlier. It's available al­most
all during Pow Wow. Now stroll
around and watch the children play­ing
their own inventive games. Go
past all the booths and select some
bracelet, necklace, ring or earring
that catches your fancy. You will be
waited upon with utmost courtesy and
with endless patience; in itself a
rarity.
This jewelry has been created in the
mind and made by hands that are de­voted
to their work. Admire it all, buy
some or none, it's your choice. Admire
the children. Even if you don't get a
verbal response, nothing makes any
woman happier than to be compli­mented
for her lovely dark eyed
children.

The booths of pottery are lovely to
see. Here you will find all shapes,
sizes and descriptions. The basketry
booth cannot be passed by. You'll be
able to find a use for almost any of
them. This is not the time to be seI£sh.
Think of your friends and neighbors
back home and their future satisfac­tion
in owning something made by
Arizonan Indians. All tribes have their
own special designs and names for
their own baskets and pottery.
Here, too, you will find the inter­nationally
famous Navajo rugs, in all
sizes, colors and designs. These will
last a lifetime and help decorate your
home with loveliness and warmth.
Now it is dark and silent. Suddenly
you hear a drum and a distant sound
of music, strange and intriguing.

Indian Tribes 01 Arizona
The twelve Indian tribes of Arizona comprise the largest Indian popu-lation
of anyone state:-Here is how they live today.
THE NAVAJO, the largest tribe in Arizona, occupies
the largest reservation in the United States. Numbering
an estimated 85,000 this tribe is rapidly increasing in
population. The Navajo, or "Dineh," as they call them­selves,
and the Apache speak an Athabascan language
related to tribes in Canada. The Navajo are best known
for their finely woven rugs of handspun wool and their
well made silver and turquoise jewelry. Craft work ac­counts
for only a fraction of their total income, however,
most of it being derived from off-reservation work.
THE HA V ASUP AI, also called Supai, Coconino and
Havasu, occupy a small reservation at the bottom of the
Grand Canyon. Numbering less than 200 this group earns
its livelihood by farming. Basketry is the only surviving
craft and this is in very limited amounts. Their name
"Havasuwaipaa" means "blue-green water people."
THE APACHES are closely related by language to
the Navajo. Like the Navajo they are relative late comers
to the Southwest. A nomadic and predatory group, their
raiding territory increased following the acquisition
0f horses from the Spanish. Best known for their fighting
ability and the war they waged against the invading
Whites these people now are engaged in the peaceful
pursuits of lumbering and cattle raising. Basketry, once
developed to a high degree, has almost disappeared.
Cradleboards, beadwork, and musical instruments (flute
and a one-string violin) are still produced. The San
Carlos and White Mountain bands with a total popula­tion
of 9,500 occupy two reservations in east central
Arizona. The Apache call themselves "Inde" which means
"the people." The name Apache may have come from the
Zuni word meaning "enemy."
THE HOPI, numbering about 4,500, live in eleven
villages located on three mesas in northeastern Arizona.
These people whose name means "the peaceful ones"
have occupied this region for over 600 years. Considered
to be the best dry farmers in the world the Hopis con­tinue
to raise their traditional crops of corn, squash, and
beans as an important part of their economy. The men
weave in cotton and wool, carve Kachina dolls and make
jewelry of silver and turquoise. The women produce

pottery and baskets of several types.
THE PAPAGO of southern Arizona number about
14,000 and live on three separate reservations. A desert
people, they make their living by farming, cattle raising,
and gathering cactus fruit and mesquite beans. Many
live on the reservation only between seasonal agricul­tural
jobs. They are well known for their fine basketry
made from yucca, bear grass, willow, horsehair and
devils claw. Pottery is also produced. The Pima and
Papago are closely related, the former often referred to
as the River People and the latter as the Bean People.
THE W ALAP AI (or Hualapai), numbering about 420,
are closely related to the Havasupai. In early days their
subsistence was based on a hunting and gathering econ­omy.
Today they are lumbermen and cattlemen. Some
basketry still survives among this group. Their name is an
abbreviated version of "Hawalayapaya" which means
"Pine Tree People."
THE CHEMEHUEVI are a Shoshonean speaking
group related to the Paiute. A nomadic group, they
roamed the area of central Arizona and California. Once
well-known for their very fine coiled basketry, this craft
has almost disappeared. About 650 Chemehuevi live on
the Colorado River Reservation.
THE PAIUTE band of 130 persons lives on the Kaibab
reservation in northwestern Arizona. Other Paiute groups
occupy reservations in California, Nevada, and Utah.
They speak a Shoshonean language and are related
linguistically to the Hopi. The best known craft item still
produced by this tribe is a coiled basket woven of sumac.
:Many of these are traded to the Navajo who use them
in their curing ceremonies.
THE COCOPAH, a branch of the Yuman family, oc­cupy
a reservation on the Colorado River near Yuma.
Numbering about 300, this tribe is employed primarily as
agricultural workers.
THE YAVAPAI, whose name means "sun people,"
occupied the Verde Valley until they were placed under
the jurisdiction of the San Carlos Reservation in 1875.
Later they drifted back to their home land and now live

There have been 1nany questions raised about the need, purpose and use of this new $7.00 Recreation!
Conservation Sticker. Here is an official summary of the facts.
By THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, STEWART L. UDA,LL
It is difficult for the average \Vesterner or the visitor
from the East to conceive that the time will ever come
when there will be a shortage of space in this part of
the Country for recreationists.
The truth is, however, that with the population ex­ploding
and with increased leisure time, existing develop­ed
areas for campers, hikers, and those interested in
other forms of outdoor recreation already are proving in­adequate.
This is particularly true in other parts of the
Country.
In order to meet the need for a vast increase in
suitable park and recreation areas - State and local as
well as Federal - the Congress and the Johnson Ad­ministration
last year combined efforts to create the
Land and Water Conservation Fund. The millions of
dollars which will go into the fund will be used by
both the Federal Government and, through matching
programs, the States for land acquisition and develop­ment
of these growing needs.
Recently we placed on sale across the Nation a new
green and white sticker that will admit the holder and
all accompanying him in a private automobile to most
Federal recreation areas that have an entrance fee. It
will also help finance the fund.
This sticker - only three inches square, but large in
value - is easily identifiable, and the forest, park,
refuge or other official who sees that you have one on
the bumper of your automobile will quickly signal your
car through the entry point.
The sticker sells for $7. It is valid through March 31,
1966. You can use it an unlimited number of times to
enter Federal recreation areas that have entrance
charges.
You may possibly never have heard of the sticker,
20
but you want to know about it. As Secretary of the In­terior,
I want to talk to you about it. Perhaps one of
the best ways to acquaint you with the sticker is through
a series of questions and answers.
Here are some of the most frequently posed questions
about the sticker and other recreation fees established
under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, along
with our answers.
Question: What is the Recreation/ Conservation
Sticker?
Answer: The Recreation/ Conservation Sticker is a $7
annual Federal recreation area permit. It is pressure
sensitive on its reverse side, and designed for display
on the left front bumper of automobile. It admits the
holder and all other occupants of his private car to
all National Parks, Forests, Wildlife Refuges, reservoirs,
and other Federal recreation areas that require fees from
persons entering by automobile or other moter vehicles.
Question: Must the sticker be placed on the bumper
of an automobile?
Answer: No, placing the sticker on the bumper of an
automobile is not obligatory. This method was recom­mended
to assist Federal recreation agencies in expedit­ing
the entry of you and your automobile through
checkpoints. If the holder chooses, he may retain the
sticker in his possession and show it at checkpoints of
Federal recreation areas. ..
Question: Why did the Federal Government institute
the Sticker and other new recreation fees?
Answer: Increased population, more leisure time, high­er
per capita income, urbanization, and greater mobility
are greatly increasing Americans use of the out-of-doors.
Visits to State and Federal recreation areas increased
lO-fold and more in the past 25 years.

go financing to help meet State, local and Federal
recreation needs. This program is embodied in the Land
and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965.
This Act created a special Land and Water Conserva­tion
Fund that obtains moneys from three sources: (1)
recreation entrance, admission, and special service fees
at certain Federal recreation areas; (2) net revenues
from the sale of surplus Federal real property; and (3)
proceedings from the existing motoboat fuels tax.
Upon appropriation by Congress, about 60 percent of
the money is available to the States on a matching basis,
and the remainder for Federal recreation needs. States
may use their grants-in-aid for planning, acquiring, and
developing outdoor recreation areas. They may allocate
portions of these grants to cities, counties, and other
political subdivisions. The National Park Service, Forest
Service, and Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife may
use money from the Fund to acquire authorized Federal
recreation areas.
Part of the Federal share from the Fund also may be
used to help preserve rare and endangered species of
wildlife and to offset portions of the capital costs allocat­ed
to public recreation and enhancement of fish and
wildlife values at Federal water development projects.
Question: What qualifications must an area meet be­fore
fees may be collected at Federal recreation areas
under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act?
Answer: Such areas must meet ALL of five qualifica­tions.
(1) They must display a sign stating that the area
is designated for fee charges. (2) They must be directly
administered by a Federal agency. (3) They must con­tain
'recreation facilities or offer recreation services de-for
America
United Statal Government Federal Recreation Area Annual Permit No 000,000
veloped at Federal expense. (4) They must be adminis­tered
primarily for scenic, scientific, historical, cultural,
or other recreation purposes. (5) They must be situated
so that collection of fees is practical and financially
sound.
Question: vVhat kind of recreation fees may be
charged?
Answer: Three kinds of fees may be charged at Fed­eral
recreation areas: Entrance fees for areas usually
entered by automobile or other vehicle; admission fees
for areas not normally entered by automobile; and
speciaJ user fees.
At more than 2,000 areas where entrance fees are
charged, visitors can pay to enter through the new
Recreation IConservation Sticker; the one-day entrance
fee for one person; or through an individual area seasonal
entrance permit for one person.
The sticker, as previously stated, sells for $7. This
allows the driver and all passengers in his automobile
to enter some 2,000 areas an unlimited number of times
for an entire year.
The one-day entrance fee per person may be 25 cents,
50 cents, 75 cents, or $1, depending on the area. It is
good only at ONE National Park, Monument, Forest
area, Refuge, or reservoir project where it is collected.
If the fee is paid at an area in a National Forest, it is
honored at all recreation areas within the particular
National Forest.
The seasonal entrance permit on a per person basis is
priced at not more than five times the one-day fee at
the area where it is collected. The seasonal permit
allows the holder to enter and use the Federal area
where he purchased it as many times as he chooses
through December 31, 1965. It is honored in the same

While You Are Here
Northern Arizona has much to offer. The Pow Wow is our summer high­light
attraction, however, there are many other scenic places that can be
taken in one day trips. On the succeeding pages you will find four such
trips, each with a detailed map, mileages, and the highlights along the
way. Drive carefully - happy travelling.

Grand Canyon • Navajo Guild

Reservation
Of all the scenic attractions in the
world, the Grand Canyon is by far the
best known. This mile deep chasm is
located only 82 miles north of Flag­staff.
You will travel along Route 180
which is one of the most beautiful
drives in the southwest - through the
Coconino National Forest with its
groves of aspen and tall ponderosa
pines in a natural undisturbed setting.
Oftentimes you will see deer in the
meadows along the side of the road.
The park entrance is located about
10 miles south of the actual rim it­self.
The fee this year has been
changed from previous years. If you
have already purchased a conserva­tion-
recreation sticker, then you will
not need to pay anything for the en­tire
family to enter. See page 20 for a
detailed explanation of the use and
purpose of this sticker.

Meteor Crater is a privately owned
attraction that was created in an in­stant
by a gigantic meteor. This is
the famous crater that is pictured and
written up in geographical textbooks.
The hole is 4,150 feet across, three
miles around at the top edge, and 570
feet deep! Its immense size is one of
those things that has to be seen to
be appreciated.
After you get back to Flagstaff,
take a drive south along the Lake

here and in the late afternoon sun,
the trip can be most refreshing. Both
lakes make good fishing spots and
with the heavy winter runoff we've

is graveled but in excellent shape.

LETTERS to the Editor
Discovery of Angel Arch
Dear Sirs:
The Chaffee C. Youngs of Escon­dido,
California and my wife and I
were the first ones to ever photograph
Angel Arch, and we were the ones
who named it. Mr. Bates Wilson, of
Arches National Monument can verify
this. You can see why we are inter­ested
in this particular issue of your
magazine.
Enclosed is our check to cover a
three year subscription and for two
extra issues of your WESTERN GATE­WAYS,
Canyonlands Highway Issue.
R. E. Badger
Rancho Santa Fe, California
'Ve are always looking for first hand
accounts about details and interesting
backgtound inf01'mation concerning
the areas we cover. Our 1965 Autumn,
Canyonlands Highway Issue will give
a follow up on this discovery and
naming of Angel Arch. Mr. \Vilson is
now the Superintendent of the Can­yonlands
National Park and Angel
Arch is now generally considered the
most prominent single highlight of
the Canyonlands National Park.
Lake Powell National Recreation Area
Dear Sirs:
Your editorial in the Lake Powell
issue on the Lake Powell National
Recreation Area was read - and re­read
with great interest. John Wesley
Powell, the father of our conservation
system, not only navigated this turbu­lent
stream, but looked into the
future, and saw the potential that ex­isted.
The dream of harnessing the
river has now been realized - gener­ating
power to benefit mankind. A
recreation area is developing that will
have no peer.
The name "Powell" was suggested
as a fitting memorial to the man who
planted the first seed of thought con­cerning
this immense enterprise -
and to eliminate the uncertainty -
and confusion as to the area. From the
time the first bull dozer dug into the
reluctant earth, people have asked
where in Grand Canyon is Glen Can­yon
- etc, etc, etc. The general trend
28
of thought seems to be the Grand
Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon
and the Canyonlands National Park,
are either one and the same - or are
all confined in one area.
The average traveler - and some
not so average, expect to stand at
Bright Angel Lodge - or Desert View,
and see the dam, with the lake back­ing
up behind it. They even contem­plate
taking a few minutes out and
driving to it!l!!!! It takes a world of
explaining - and not a little tact, time
and patience to inform them it is a
far piece up the road - or up the
river I should say.
I believe Lake Powell National Rec­reation
Area is a far more apt name,
and would like to sugest that we
campaign to end the confusion - in­stead
of being a part of it!!!!! A
squeaky wheel eventually gets greased
- so now is the time to make our
voices heard upon the land - and
river!!! Letters to your representatives
- to the Interior Department, and to
the Bureau of Reclamation certainly
will bring this problem up for airing.
With luck, the powers that be may
even do something about it!!!!
Clara E. Redding

Litter on Lake Powell
Dear Sirs:
I have found your Lake Powell
issue interesting and informative, dur­ing
a six day boat-camping trip on
that Lake.
I was distressed to find several bad­ly
littered campsites on the lake and
in side canyons (last year at this time
the lake had not had many visitors)
and I think that in your future num­bers
of this magazine, a tactful but
eloquent plea to visitors to leave the
place as they find it for others to en­joy
would be a needed and most help­ful
entry.
Wm. James
Aspen, Colorado
That is why we (and other magazines)
run the public service ads supplied
by the Advertising Council (page 36
of the 1965 Lake Powell issue). These
ate not used as fillers since there is
never a shortage of interesting areas
to write about in this scenic southwest.
Need for Lake Powell?
Dear Sirs:
Congratulations on another inter­esting
issue of WESTERN GATEWAYS. I
would like to lodge a complaint, how­ever,
on Floyd Dominy's article ex­toling
the virtues of Glen Canyon
Dam.
I do think we should be proud of
and grateful for the recreational plan­ning
that proceeded the filling of the
lake and the archaeological and his­torical
salvage that was undertaken.
What I object to about the article
is the implication that the dam was
necessary and justified. Dominy im­plies
that Glen Canyon Dam is needed
for the over-all water regulation pro­gram
on the Colorado. This is what
the Bureau originally maintained, but
according to the Chief Hydrologist,
U.S.G.S., the storage capacity afforded
by the dams existing on the Colorado
prior to the construction of Glen
Canyon Dam was sufficient to com­pletely
regulate water flow. The build­ing
of dams after this need capacity is
reached simply wastes water ( by
seepage and evaporation) and is
therefore worse than simply unjusti­fied.
The second (and only additional)
stated function of Glen Canyon Dam
is the generation of hydroelectric
power to be sold to pay for water
diversion projects in the Basin above
Lake Powell. If, however, it is deemed
desirable to subsidize these projects '

Much as we appreciate the hundreds
of letters we have received on our
new magazine complimenting us on
its style and format; we will only
publish those letters that actually add
to our readers information. Whether
you agree with our articles or not,
we enjoy your opinions an,d will pub­lish
a representative cross section of
all viewpoints.

Located in the heart of Monument Valley - Gould­ing's
Trading Post and Lodge offers you an enviable
view of panoramic vermillion monuments. Also, it gives
you immediate access to the colorful Navajo people who
reside in the Valley and who trade at the Trading Post.
We've lived in the Valley for over forty years, traded
with the Navajos and have seen the old time dirt roads
become modern paved highways leading into the Val­ley
area. We've helped movie companies film over a
dozen movies here from John Ford's "Stagecoach" in
1938, to his most recent, "Cheyenne Autumn" released
this year. We want to share this country with you.
From our air-conditioned lodge you can watch the
setting sun spread its golden color across the Valley
and the Monuments in the background. Our family­sty
Ie meals provide you the tastiness of Western cooking.
But it's the Navajos and the Monuments that you
come to see. Our guides are Navajo-speaking, and they
drive you out into the Valley in comfortable riding 4-
wheel drive vehicles showing you the life of the Nava­j6
people. You'll see the Indians tending their flocks of
sheep, weaving their famous 1'\ avajo rugs, and living in
their hogans. For centuries they have maintained their
culture - they are proud of it. Incidentally, our trading
post has a generous supply of Navajo rugs and many
other arts and crafts that were created and traded in
by the Indians.
Let us show you the Eighth "Vonder of the World.

Sedona 8 Jerome
To drive through Oak -', _ \K~' ~' :
to Sedona is an experience that tGi"" ny
consider on a par with seeing the
Grand Canyon. Some say it is evel1
better since Oak Creek is an area you
can drive into, feel the magnitude of
the surrounding canyon walls and fish
the streams from within a short walk
from your car.
From Flagstaff, drive south on US
79 and 89a. The turnoff point is only a
couple miles out of the city limits.
From here you travel south six miles
to the head of the Oak Creek Canyon
where you will want to stop and view
the country you are about to enter.
The Canyon is before you, covered
with pine and aspen, a sight to be
photographed and remembered.
The drive down is winding but the
road is very good, with plenty of
width and it is well marked. Nobody
hurries - the scenery is just too pretty
to be used up too quickly.
The road along the bottom of the
canyon follows Oak Creek and there
are lots of camping spots, fishing
places, cabins, and picnic areas.
Next stop along the way - Slide
Rock. This is a water slide in Oak
Creek that is a very popular swim­ming
hole during the summer. The
VERDE VALLEY Panorama of Sight and Action
The Verde Valley is quite a treasure chest of nature.
This fruitful valley sits in Arizona's finest year round
climate. Comfortable summers are followed by beautiful
Indian autumns and mild clear winters.
With a wide range of terrain the area offers a variety
of year round activities including fishing, hunting, sight­seeing,
photography and comfortable all year living.
There is good fishing all year in the Verde River
which yields outstanding strings of catfish and small­mouth
bass. Lower Oak Creek is still giving up large
trout and the fishing peaks during the winter months.
The Verde River is a natural attraction to small and
large game animals as well as waterfowl.
The Verde Valley is the home of two National Monu­ments
- Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle. Montezuma
Castle and Well are excavated ruins that have remained
intact over the years. Near Camp Verde is the Old Fort
Verde which is now a military museum .

king. A billion dollars of gold, silver
and copper was extracted from these
hills. The town has preserved the look
and character of the mining days.
Your first stop in Jerome should be
at the Mine Museum in the center of
town. Here vou will find a rare col-lection
of the actual tools and equip­ment
that were used to wrest a
mineral fortune from the ground.
As you head back towards Flagstaff,
take highway 279 just past Cotton­wood.
This will bring you to the
Black Canyon Highway. At this point,
cross the Black Canyon and go into
Camp \ -erde. Located along the
banks of the Verde River, this little
farming community has an interesting
museum on the site of old· Fort Verde,
which was known as Camp Lincoln,
back in 1864.
Between Camp Verde and Flag­staff,
you will pass near the Monte­zuma
Castle and Montezuma \Vell
National Monuments. The Castle is
actually a cai'efully preserved cliff
dwelling of Indian tribes in the era
of 1125 to 1400 A.D. The well that
served as their source of water is a
natural spring that still flows today.
Eight miles south of Flagstaff you
will see a turnoff to the east, marked
Mount~inaire. Here there is a cracker
barrel style country-store reminiscent
of the New England style of un­hurried
living. lfJi:

Trip Number Four
Lake Powell- Glen Canyon Dam
Monument Valley • Lees Ferry
This trip is more of a two to three
day trip. (Actually all of these trips
will require several days if you wish
to really see everything we've de­scribed
along the routes.)
Lake Powell is America's newest
playground. See page 36 for more
details and some pictures. The Glen
Canyon Dam is now finished; and
from the bridge, you can get a mag­nificent
view of this second largest
dam in the United States.
Out at Wahweap - 6 miles north
of Page - there is a real trip of a
lifetime awaiting you - Rainbow
Bridge can be seen in a one day boat
trip up Lake Powell. The cost is $25.00
per person, and this includes the
guided tour to Rainbow and boat
excursions up several side canyons.
For more details, write Canyon Tours,
Box 1597, Page, Arizona.
yon Dam is from Lee's Ferry, by
renting a boat to go upstream on the
Colorado to the foot of the Dam. The
round trip takes about 3 hours. Lee's
Ferry Inc., Box 1715, Page, Arizona
can give you more information on
this trip.
Heading back down US 89, turn at
the Tuba City turnoff, U.S. 64, about
halfway between Page and Flagstaff.
Tuba City, 11 miles from the turnoff,
is typical of the Navajoland of today
in that it is a mixture of the old and
the new. Visit the Tuba City Trading
Post (est. 1870) and the Tuba City
Community center (built in 1960 by
the Navajo Tribe). New service sta­tions
are seen with horse drawn
wagons passing slowly along-side.
About 50 miles east of Tuba City
you will see the sign marking the
north turnoff tOo the Navajo National
Monument. Here the Park Service is
putting in a new visitor's center near

the Betatakin Ruins. Two other cliff
dwellings in this Park area are Keet
Seel and Inscription House, all origi­nally
discovered by J ohn Wetherill.
A few miles further along the Nava­jo
Trail you will come to Tsegi Can­yon.
The Trading Post alongside the
road at Tsegi is typical of the trading
posts whose main business is in deal­ing
all year long with the Navajo and
Hopi Indians on the reservations.
Kayenta is the south gateway to
i\1onument Valley. The valley is
another must for the visitor to the
Southwest. From the highway, you
can get a hint of what lies beyond.
The towering sandstone buttes reach
over a thousand feet into the air and
their delicate hues have to be seen to
be appreciated.
You can drive to the Park Head­quarters
and get a panorama of some
of the major monuments. This, by the
way, is a Navajo Tribal Park - ad­ministered
in a similar way to the
U.S. National Parks except that at
Monument Valley you are in the
Navajo Reservation and all the
Rangers are Navajos. You will find
yourself treated with the utmost
courtesy.
A small part of the park area can
be seen by driving a graded road, but
much of Monument Valley lies be­yond
the sand dunes that can be
reached only by 4-wheel drive ve­hicles
- driven by experienced opera­tors.
All of the sandstone arches lie
beyond these barriers of drifting
sand. There are three outfits that con­duct
one day trips into the Valley:

165 miles of fishing hole, that's Lake Powell. This is about
as dose to a vacationers Utopia as you can find.
More than just a lake, Lake Powell offers scenery of a
magnitude that no other body of water can match. The
towering sandstone diHs provide a panorama that makes
even a conservative photographer run out of film half­way

Powell offers a total vacation for everyone - whether
you want to just get away from it all and relax, or if you
want to hike miles and miles over slickrock. There is no

MONUMENT VALLEY
GOLDEN SANDS TOURS
For generations, the Navajos have lived in the Monu­ment
Valley area. It's their land - a beautiful land of
red sandstone, towering monuments, eroded caves and
spectacular arches.
Under permits issued by the Navajo Tribal Council
we can take you into their native land. Bill Crawley,
Bill Corn ford or any of our other tour guides know these
people and can speak the Navajo language. You will be
able to see and understand more about these first
Americans.
We use comfortable 4-wheel drive enclosed vehicles
that can take you into the far reaches of Monument
Valley - into sanded areas that no ordinary car could
ever hope to reach. All of the arches and windows
are in this south end of the valley.
You will see the Navajo people as they live. We ask,
and usually get, their permission to allow you to enter
their hogans so -that you can see their homes.

(from p. 21)
way as a one-day fee, except it is
good for the entire season at the area
where it is purchased.
Admission fees are collected at
Federal areas not normally entered by
automobile, such as Independence
Hall in Philadelphia or the House
Where Lincoln Died National Mem­orial,
Washington, D. C.
Special user or service fees may be
charged for the use of well-developed
campsites and picnic areas, bath­houses,
lockers, mechanical boat­launching
facilities, boats, guide serv­ices,
cabins, cut firewood or other fuel,
and winter sports facilities. Special
service fees may be charged regard­less
of whether an entrance fee is
charged at a particular area.
Question: How do the new fees
compare with those charged for pas­sage
of the Land and Water Conser­vation
Fund Act?
Answer: At some areas, the new
fees are higher than the old ones. Also,
many areas that used to be free now
- A New Car
make charges. But in many instances,
the new $7 Sticker will save money
for traveling families and other
groups. For example, Yellowstone and
Yosemite National Parks last year
charged $6 for an annual entrance
fee. Now, a family or a group in a
private automobile can go to both
these parks, as well as 2,000 other
areas, for a single $7 payment.
Question: As far as purchase of the
$7 Federal Recreation/ Conservation
Sticker is concerned, what is a pri­vate
automobile?
Answe:.;: Any passenger car, station
wagon, pickup, camper truck, or other
motor vehicle normally used on a
road or highway, which is being used
for private recreation purposes. This
includes rented, leased, or company­owned
automobiles being used for
private recreation purposes, and ve­hicles
being used for private recrea­tion
purposes that normally are used
or are licensed for commercial pur­poses,
such as chuck wagons, farm
trucks, and pick-up trucks.

fee charged at any Federal recreation
area?
Answer: In some instances - yes.
For example, a person might use his
Recreation/ Conservation Sticker to
enter a Federal area and, once inside,
decide to rent a boat, use a trailer
campground with electric outlets and
other extra conveniences, or avail him­self
of other special services. In such
instances, he would have to pay for
the Sticker and for the special services
he used.
Question: Will persons be charged
who enter by foot, plane, bicycle, or
horseback at Federal recreation areas
where fees are required?
Answer: Yes, they will be charged
entry fees, since entrance charges are
made regardless of the mode of trans­portation
employed. However, per­sons
who do not enter by a private
motor vehicle cannot use the $7 Rec­reation/
Conservation Sticker for en­trance.

Wanda Seamon, Owner
Every 5 minutes a child is born
who will be mentally retarded.
You say it couldn't happen to yours.
The other guy says it couldn't happen to his~
Whose is it happening to?
If it makes you feel better, keep on thinking your
child couldn't be mentally retarded. Ignore the
whole thing-until it happens to you.
But we'd rather you helped us fight. Fight for
the 512 million mentally retarded people in the
United States. At least 85% of them could helpsup­port
themselves with proper training.
Fight for some 126,000 children who will become
mentally retarded this year unless we do something.
That's the real waste. Because with what we
know, mental retardation could be cut in half.
In half, mind you.
So think about it. With some help from you and
the other guy, maybe some day you'll be right.
Maybe it couldn't happen to yours.
Or even the other guy's.
Here are six things you can do now to help pre­yen
t men tal retarda tion and bring new hope
to those whose minds are retarded:
1. If you expect a baby, stay under a doctor's or a
hospital's care. Urge all expectant mothers to do so.
2. Visit local schools and urge them to provide special
teachers and special classes to identify and help men­tally
retarded children early in their lives.
3. Urge your community to set up workshops to train
retardates who are capable of employment.
4. Select jobs in your company that the mentally re­tarded
can fiU, and hire them.
5. Accept the mentally retarded as American citizens.
Give them a chance to live useful, dignified lives in
your community. ~\.IM. ~

groups entering an area in a commer­cial
vehicle such as a bus or a train
be required to pay entrance fees.
Answer: Yes. They will be charged
a daily or seasonal entraace fee. Pos­session
of a Recreation/ Conservation
Sticker by a person in a commercial
vehicle will not permit entrance.
Children under 16 years of age do not
have to pay entrance fees to Federal
recreation areas.
Question: Is a fee required for per­sons
entering a wilderness area?
Answer: No. An entrance fee to a
wilderness-type area is prohibited.
Question: What effect do the fees
have upon boating and the use of
water areas?
Answer: The Land and Water Con­servation
Fund Act of 1965 specific­ally
prohibits charges for the use of
water. If an individual gains access
to the water through an area where
an entrance fee is charged, he will be
required to pay the area's entrance
fee. This fee is based not on the avail­ability
of water, but on the existance
of other Federal facilities in the desig-nated
area. Non-fee access points are
available to nearly all Federal reser­voirs.
Boaters may have to pay a user
fee if they use facilities such as me­chanical
boat launchers.
Question: Why charge fees at Fed­eral
recreation areas? Haven't tax­payers
already paid for them?
Answer: True, taxpayers have paid
for existing recreation areas and facil­ities,
but there is a pressing need to
provide new areas and facilities.
Many areas already are over-used.
New areas and facilities will be need­ed
to help meet growing recreation
demands. When recreationists pay
fees at Federal areas, they help ac­quire
new ones, and provide State,
regional, and local parks, and other
recreation areas and facilities. Most
of the income to the Fund will be
made available to States and local
government on a cost-sharing basis.
This benefits present and future rec­reationists
throughout the Nation.
Question: What effect do the fees
have upon hunting and fishing.
Answer: The fees in no way consti-tute
a Federal hunting or fishing li­cense.
Hunters and fishermen are
charged the same fees which other
persons are required to pay. Hunters
and fishermen, as well as other rec­reationists,
benefit from the Land and
Water Conservation Fund program,
since it helps expand opportunities
for all types of outdoor recreation, in­cluding
hunting and fishing.
Question: Are any individuals or
groups exempt from paying required
recreation entrance fee?
Answer: Yes. Persons under 16
years of age are ex~mpt from entrance
fees. Persons or groups entering fee
areas for bona fide nonrecreation pur­poses,
such as groups on conducted
educational tours, do not have to pay.
Neither do individuals visiting an
area for commercial reasons, such as
salesmen; concessionnaires and their
employees; bus and taxi drivers; re­pairmen;
doctors; firemen; and am­bulance
operators; church groups en­gaged
in Easter Sunrise or similar
types of religious services; and indi­viduals

of the one-day fee or individual

car and trailer and other vehicles,

Taking Pow Wow Pictures
Parade - Parade shots should be taken at an angle,
to stop the motion - not straight across. If your
camera has shutter speeds, use at least 1/100th
of a sec.
- Indian dances are usually performed at the inter­sections
along the parade route.
- If you are shooting towards the sun allow at
least one more F / stop exposure. Flash will fill
in the heavy shadows and give real professional
results.
Rodeo - KEEP OUT OF THE ARENA.
If you have telephoto lenses bring them. Use
the highest shutter speed you have and fast color
film, like High Speed Ektachrome.
- Don't rely on light meters if you are back in the
rodeo stands - you pick up too much effect of
the shaded stands. Use a sunlight exposur~ that
you know or follow the settings given with the
film instructions.
Night Ceremonials - NO FLASH IS ALLOWED -
this is strictly enforced.
- The scenes are lit by flood lights placed be­tween
the audience and the Indians. Using either
Plus X or High Speed Ektachrome, exposures
of 1/ 50th at F / 4 to F / 5.6 will give good results
when the Indians are directly in front of the
lights. For Agfachrome, Kodachrome X, or Ekta­chrome
X, use 1/ 50th at F /2 to F / 2.8. The night
pictures in this magazine were taken on Plus X
film, at these exposures, and processed normally.
(Actually the use of flash would ruin the dra­matic
effects of the dances).
- For movies, use Type A Kodachrome at F / 2.8
(16 frames/sec.)
At the Encampment - There are many human inter­est
scenes to add to your Pow Wow story. The
Indians are somewhat reserved and you should
ask their permission beforehand. If permission
is given, it is generally good taste to pay some­thing
for the privilege.
General Notes - Be careful in the excitement that you
don't roll your 35mm film completely off the
spool. If this should happen, take your camera
to one of the photo shops.

LAKE POWELL (from p. 36)
they and the fishermen are doing fine.
Below the Glen Canyon Dam, the
fishing is also very good. Access to. this
area is from Lee's Ferry. (See center
map) Although Lee's Ferry is on the
Colorado River below the dam, it is
still in the boundaries of the Glen
Canyon National Recreation Area.
WESTERN HILLS MOTOR HOTEL and RESTAURANT
For those few who are not fisher­men,
there are scenic cruises run up
and down Lake Powell, from Wah­weap,
near Page and from Hall's
Crossing and Hite further up the lake.
With over a hundred side canyons,
Powell offers an unexhaustable supply
of scenic grandeur in many different
forms.

TRIBES OF ARIZONA (from p. 19)
on three small reservations: Fort Mc­Dowell,
Camp Verde, and Yavapai in
central Arizona. The Apache are said
to have learned the art of basketry
from the Yavapai. Little of the craft
survives today but the quality of the
work is excellent. A member of the
Yuman group this tribe numbers
about 550.
HYATT
CHALET
THE MOHAVE, once the largest
and most warlike of the Yuman tribes
living on the Colorado River, are now
located on the Fort Mohave and Colo­rado
River Reservations. With the ex­ception
of pottery produced by one
woman the craft work of this tribe is
limited to belts, collars and capes
made of glass beads. This group num­bers
about 700.

THE PIMA tribe lives on two
reservations in central Arizona. An
agricultural people from early times,
farming continues to play an import­ant
part of their economy. This tribe
numbers about 7,700. The Pima, like
the Papago, are noted for their fine
basketwork although few women con­tinue
to practice this craft. ~

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (from p. 28)
by the sale of power, the vast coal de­posits
nearby afford a much more
sensible source of power; coal-based
thermoelectric power is now being
produced more cheaply at nearby
plants (St. Joseph, Arizona; Fruitland,
N. NI.)
The proposed Marble Canyon Dam
would not silt up significantly, and
the Little Colorado would be the only
important source of silt for Bridge
Canyon. However, Lake Powell will
silt relatively rapidly; the estimated
expenctancy for the portion of the
lake above the San Juan junction is
about 500 years. We could have kept
the canyon forever.
Although it is true that Dominy
doesn't mention Marble Canyon and
Bridge Canyon Dams, his enthusiastic
endorsement of Glen Canyon Dam,
despite its lack of justification, helps
pave the way in the mind of the pub­lic
for these two even more foolish
projects. As to these lakes making
scenic areas more accessible, so do a
few roads, which are much less des­tructive.
The lakes (at least in the
case of Powell) destroyed more
scenery than they make visible. Lakes
are "a dime a dozen," but a Glen
Canyon or a Grand Canyon is unique.
By the way, I like your suggestion
about changing the name of the area
around Lake Powell to: Lake Powell
National Recreation Area.
Stephen C. Jett
Davis, California
Western Gateways interest in the
Lake Powell area is strictly in terms
of its recreation and sportsmens
values - as they exist today. As to
h ow much scenery is lost and how
many new areas are made usuable,
this seems to be a matter of one's
vietepoint. From our personal exper­ience
tee feel that Lake Powell has
made dozens of new scenic areas
available for everyone lost along the
Colorado River. After all, an area is
not beautiful until somebody can see
it and appreciate it. Rainbow Bridge
tcilL this year become scenic to liter­ally
thousands teho could not (01'
teotdd not) have made the trip by
horseback ten years ago. mz:

ENCAMPMENT (from p. 16)
Wow squaw dances, the like of which
you have never seen before and shall
probably never see again.
The women are in charge here and
dance tirelessly and with great good
humor. It's rather a Sadie Hawkins
type of dance; the women may ap­proach
any man to dance with them.
If the man is unwilling, he must pay
the woman for the privilege of "sitting
out" the dance. She then goes on to
another to repeat her invitation.
The dances continue into the small
hours and there is much laughing,
teasing and good natured courting
going on. Enjoy this but keep your
comments to yourself or you, too, will
be pulled into the dance for what may
soon seem to be mere eternity.
Now the flaps are being put down
on the booths and concessions. You
hear the soft flow of Navajo and
watch the women gather their child­ren
for bedtime. You begin to wind
your way back to the parking lot, the
campfires making a welcome light to
guide you on your way. Again in pass­ing,
you observe the families, softly
conversing about the day and making
plans about the coming one. The fires
make the bright colors of the dresses
soft and warm and the hairdos in
silhouette are attractive to see. Ignor­ing
the pick up trucks parked nearby,
you can use your imagination and pre­tend
that this is an encampment of
long ago, set up under the ponderosa
pines and wide high sky of Flagstaff.
You resolve to slow down a bit, your­self
and enjoy these bits of sight and
smell and taste and touch again to­morrow.
