I think the Hualapai tribe probably has a real winner here from a
financial point of view.

At $25 a pop? Nope.

Talk about going on a vision quest. :-)

....See how a cat or dog reacts on the glass. That'll be worth the
price of admission! :-)

Not for you or I, but remember all those Vegas gamblers they're marketing
to.

I wouldn't do it if they paid me $25.

The contractor did it first. Other than permits, what could possible have
cost multi-millions for what's there?

The peoples from the south west had a great relationship with the sky
and relied upon the heavens for passing on stories setting morals and
values within their society, or even planning to harvest foods at the
correct time. Now one of the greatest observatories Kitt peak is on
land leased to the national science foundation from the people on the
Papago reservation, where the Tohono O'odham Nation or "the people of
the desert" have bridged the gap between the past culture and modern
science. The Grand Canyon Sky Bridge of the Hualapai (Walipai)
peoples (who share part of the hokan-upland river language line), is
another way Native American cultures, can to preserve and share their
heritage, while at the same time embracing projects that will provide
income for future generations.

Information on the Tohono O'odham Nation agreement with the National
Science foundation for leasing the land where Kitt Peak observatory is
located.

Hell, I almost fell off of a mountain once for free, ended up thigh-deep
in quicksand after falling ten feet off of the side of a river valley
(and I can guarantee you I wasn't expecting _quicksand_ in North Dakota,
although it did break my fall, and made a really neat "plop" sound as I
hit) and slid down the side of a butte feet-first into cacti.
It may look pretty dangerous, but when it comes right down to it, it's
pretty safe.
For starters, that transparent floor is mighty, mighty, thick.
Four inches of high strength glass according to the news tonight.
The only problem they'd probably run into with me is that I'd be laying
flat out on the floor looking down into the chasm through my binoculars
for most of the day. :-D

Tribe must contact Great White Fathers that watch over casinos.
Much wampum must go to Great White Fathers, so that Skybridge does not
burn down.
This is called "Protection Wampum".
Is special medicine, watched over by Teamster braves, who get "Slice Of
Pie", and "Piece Of Action".
Many of our tribe bleed from this "Cut".
