I agree, a great book about such an interesting time! The story of the first documented discovery of the cliff dwellings never fails to enthrall…thanks for reminding me!

How dreadful, sickening. The disrespect and egotism involved…I hope he’s collared and receives appropriate punishment.

I don’t want to like this post, but want to thank you for bringing it to our attention, Orbit. I’ll “like” it for that reason only.
I had a discussion with Frank Hill recently about some disrespectful viewers at Hopi dances and their disruption of ceremony. I refuse to discriminate, especially with disrespect. These people, and anyone like them, should be escorted out by the business end of a rope hitched to a saddle horn…rather quickly.

Should have left the Crow Man kachinas and their yucca whips take care of these clowns.

People are so intent on the all-important selfie :(, and nothing else matters (this particular offender seems to be older than I would have expected). More than one has taken a short step off a long cliff trying for the perfect shot, leaving to others a perilous retrieval. This seems to be part and parcel of the entitlement mentality we were discussing elsewhere.
Last time I was at the Art Institute in Chicago, you could hardly view some items for the crowds clustered around to get the perfect photo of themselves front and center. Good thing there isn’t furniture for them to climb on. They didn’t “see” any more than they could have by looking at others’ photos online.

This is horrible. Why that man thought he had a right to climb on historic furniture is beyond me. Which then led to the destruction of a sacred Hopi artifact! All for a photo, grrr. Sooooo disrespectful. I hope that he’s caught.
