Description

The four corners of America are made up of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. The canyons and mountains are celebrated through National Parks, forests, and monuments. This land was shaped by Native American society. One of the largest reservations of the southwest is the Navajo which covers most of northeastern Arizona, their homes placed strategically to face the rising sun. This is to honor the "First Man and First Woman placed in the sky", the article then discusses spiritual relations with the cosmos and connection to spirits.
