They're monolithic.<BR/><BR/>Title VII=Guilt Money.

They looked good and were priced considerably less than Kachina Dolls made and sold by the Hopi. THIS was a major problem between the two tribes (as well as who got money from the coal at Black Mesa). Hopi claimed it was sacreligious for Navajos to be making copies of THEIR religious figures and selling them. .....I agree with your question....WHOSE symbols decorated those papers? Those title VII funds are part of the guilt our government believes it has for its brutal treatment of Native Americans. Throwing money at them isn't going to change much.....Casinos are the Indians great revenge.Dan Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397636504405471939noreply@blogger.com
