Arizona is unique among American states, not only in its geography and geology but also in the diversity of its climate, in its indigenous animal and plant life, and in the history of its first inhabitants—communities of Indians whose ancestors arrived on the scene more than 20,000 years ago.

Arizona is also the youngest of the contiguous mainland states of America…precisely because of these very same factors. Its climate, geography and Indian tribes were major barriers that prevented the territory from becoming widely populated by the Spanish, Mexicans and early European-Americans—and from being used as a crossroads by American fur/pelt trappers, gold prospectors and settlers who began pushing west in the mid-1800s.

Now, it is exactly these same factors that make Arizona a great place to live as well as a world-famous travel destination. AMAZING ARIZONA is a fascinating collection of stories about the Indians, the Spanish Conquistadors, the Mexican settlers and finally the Americans who laid the foundation for what Arizona is today…along with descriptions of the state’s most outstanding attractions.

The stories of how Arizona finally became what it is today are as amazing as the lay and the beauty of the land. The book is great reading for residents and visitors alike, an ideal gift, and a great promotional tool for the tourism industry. #

Twenty-eight percent of Arizona, the 6th largest of the American states, is INDIAN COUNTRY. Arizona was Indian Country thousands of years before the first Europeans set foot on the North and South American continents, and it is still Indian Country today!

Seventeen tribes live on 23 Reservations that encompass a total of over 20 million acres that include some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery on planet Earth, from the Cochise Stronghold to the world’s largest Ponderosa pine forest.

Many of Arizona’s most amazing attractions—cultural, geographic, historical and recreational—are in its Indian Country! In fact, Arizona owes much of its fame to several serendipitous circumstances: the great Grand Canyon, its spectacular desert and mountain scenery, its climate, and its Indian nations.

Visitor’s Guide to Arizona’s Indian Reservations is a historical, economic, social, cultural and recreational guide to the state’s Native American people…an amazing story of their survival in the face of incredible odds and their growing importance in Arizona. The book makes a wonderful gift for residents and visitors alike and could be used to help promote the state’s important tourism industry. #

Arizona is one of the most spectacular and beautiful regions in the U.S. There is, in fact, no other place on the planet with its mix of landscapes, animal and plant life and unique geological structures. The most spectacular of Arizona's geological features is, of course, the great Grand Canyon, considered by many to be the most awesome landscape sight on Earth. Its only competition is on Mars!

As the title indicates, this book answers virtually every question anyone might have about the Grand Canyon—literally from “A” to “Z”—including many things regular guide books don’t talk about…all in one handy handbook.

The Grand Canyon Answer Book also includes the Internet addresses of official websites of the Grand Canyon, as well as many of its individual facilities and services.

America's Famous Hopi Indians - The History, Customs and Wisdom of the Hopis

THE ASTOUNDING STORY OF ARIZONA'S HOPI INDIANS
AMERICA'S FAMOUS HOPI INDIANS - Key Terms that Reveal the History, Heart, Traditional Customs & Wisdom of the Hopis, by Boyé Lafayette De Mente. Phoenix Books/Publishers. ISBN: 1452886296. Quality Trade Paperback. 136 pages. $12.95. Order from Amazon.com. To go directly to Amazon.com click on the following link: www.Amazon.com. [Booksellers and libraries please see the information at the end of this file.]

The oral history of the Hopi people tell them that they were the first human beings to inhabit the North and South American continents and that they arrived on large rafts, island-hopping across the Pacific Ocean…not by the land bridge that once connected Alaska and Siberia.

The story of their arrival, splitting up into groups and going in different directions to populate the two continents is so detailed that it is hard to believe that it is just a myth concocted for some ulterior purpose.
This provocative book uses key terms in the Hopi language that are pregnant with cultural and historical meanings as windows to reveal the amazing story of the Hopis, including how they ended up living on top of high mesas that rise up like sentinels in northern Arizona.

Perhaps most astounding of all in the story of the Hopis is their tradition of prophecies, and their incredible accuracy—including the coming of white men with guns, the coming of wagons, the coming of the railroad, cattle, electric power lines—and future wars.

This is fascinating read for anyone who is interested not only in Native Americans but in an incredible saga of an ancient people who have survived into modern times…and continue to practice their ancient ceremonials. #

ARIZONA'S LORDS OF THE LAND! - The History, Heart, Traditional Customs & Wisdom of the Navajos

ARIZONA'S LORDS OF THE LAND – The History, Heart, Traditional Customs & Wisdom of the Navajos, by Boyé Lafayette De Mente. Phoenix Books/Publishers. ISBN: 1452882738. Quality Trade Paperback. 136 pages. $12.95. Order from Amazon.com. To go directly to Amazon.com click on the following link: www.Amazon.com. [Booksellers and libraries please see the information at the end of this file.]

The Navajos were late-comers among Arizona’s first residents, not showing up from northwestern regions of North America until sometime before 900 A.D. Their oral history is replete with stories of worlds [civilizations] that came before this one, and were destroyed because the people forgot the teachings of their gods and became selfish, venal and violent.

In sharp contrast to the image that early white Americans had of the Navajos—as primitive savages who had no human rights—the Navajos had a remarkably sophisticated culture. They had a deep understanding of the relationship between the cosmos and all living things, an astounding tradition of poetry combined with spirituality, and social customs that were far superior to anything seen in the white world—even today!

This book is an excellent introduction to an aspect of Native Americans that has never been known to most other Americans, and is fascinating reading for residents as well as others—particularly those in other states and countries who might want to visit Arizona. #
