  • 07 AUGUST 2000 - SUPAI, AZ: A muletrain comes up the canyon trail from the village of Supai on the Havasupai Indian reservation in northern Arizona, Aug. 7. There are no roads or rail service into Supai, a village of 600 people on the floor of the Grand Canyon, west of the Grand Canyon National Park, so the mail is delivered by mule train. The wranglers who lead the mules down to the village haul everything from letters and postcards to fresh produce and refrigerated foods. The mail is hauled down the steep mountain slopes five days a week rain or shine. It normally takes about three hours to haul the mail down. The mule wranglers are self employed contractors and have to provide all of their own mules and equipment. Although the muletrain delivery of the mail is unusual, the Postal Service uses whatever mean necessary to deliver the mail, including sled dogs in Alaska and boats in other areas. Because of budget shortfalls, the US Postal Service is threatening to close the post office in Supai.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 10 SEPTEMBER 2004 - WINDOW ROCK, AZ: Native American veterans of the US military perform a gourd dance during the 58th annual Navajo Nation Fair in Window Rock, AZ. The Navajo Nation Fair is the largest annual event in Window Rock, the capitol of the Navajo Nation, the largest Indian reservation in the US. The Navajo Nation Fair is one of the largest Native American events in the United States and features traditional Navajo events, like fry bread making contests, pow-wows and an all Indian rodeo. Gourd dances originated amongst the Indian tribes in Oklahoma to honor those that served in the US military. They have since spread to almost every tribe in the country and are generally the first dance at a pow-wow.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
