Rez might be doing that…his right…i accept it…yet i don’t think so…did not seem like it..we had a good talk with Rez…and i bought him some food…he was a bit down and out….as a white man, i accept anything from any indigenous man or woman…yet the vibe seemed definitely good…the handshake warm….a good moment is a good moment….i have worked a lot with the Navajo tribe in years prior….always came away with good feelings, as i did this time…

cheers, david

Fuck off to white men stepping in Navajo land is totally understood ..
But for the record, no , Rez’s gesture is the opposite ..
But we talked about it over here too, and truth is that his gesture would be “f$$k off” in Britain or Australia , but not in Arizona..
Big hug

That’s what this one has done. All day long it has been in my head. I have spent most of this day picture-editing, but this picture just keeps appearing in my head even as I look at others. When I took my afternoon coffee and went driving, I saw this picture throughout.

To me, this is a truly exceptional picture. To me, all by itself, this image makes David’s road trip worth it.

It is paramount on so many levels. A great one!

Cool looking dude. From my experience here in the Northwest, there is great pride and respect of military service in Native American communities. That history goes back to the American Revolution. While this seemed surprising to me at first, given the obvious historical context, I get it now. I think you just might find the truist sense of patriotism in many of these communities – a good story there, not often told.
