ATHENS, Mich. — For now, the field isn’t much. All that stands along a quiet country road is a small storage building, beyond which rolls 28 acres of prairie a mile south of this blink-and-miss-it hamlet. To Mon-ee Zapata, though, this land is both the past and the future.

As denoted on a historical marker across the street, this is the vicinity where, 175 years ago, the United States government rounded up her ancestors, the Potawatomi Indians, and forced them on a deadly walk to inhospitable Kansas. But it is also a place where her tribal elders plan to build a manufacturing operation of some sort as a way to ensure their long-term economic stability beyond the revenue from the six-year-old FireKeepers Casino.

Just as one would have a new friend over for dinner, the China tourism administration has invited the Hualapai people to tour their country as a cultural exchange. It is truly a rare privilege to be asked by the Chinese to visit and share their Enshi Grand Canyon Skywalk. A group made up of the Grand Canyon Resort Corporation (GCRC) Board Chairwoman Camille Nighthorse, Board Vice Chairwoman Carrie Imus, Hualapai Cultural Center Director Loretta Jackson Kelly, GCRC employees, and several Hualapai community members are going to not only showcase traditional Hualapai dancing and singing, but also to explore potential business prospects and build cultural relationships with the Chinese.

KINGMAN - A lawsuit filed in Hualapai Tribal Court earlier this month alleges, among other things, that directors of the Grand Canyon Resort Corporation and its officers conspired to break a contract with Western Destinations owner Jim Brown, the builder and manager of Hualapai Ranch.

This is the second instance in which the resort corporation has been formally accused of failing to honor its contracts with non-tribal business partners in Grand Canyon West, but the lawyer who filed the lawsuit on Brown's behalf could not say for certain if a pattern has developed.

Tucson-based attorney Ali Farhang did suggest, however, that a growing history of breaking contracts with business partners would come back to haunt the Hualapai Tribe.

KINGMAN - When Dawnielle Tehama announced in August that the Grand Canyon Resort Corp. was seeking more community interaction, she wasn't kidding about the company's intent to reach out to the city of Kingman.

Tehama, who is GCRC's marketing manager, said then that she and Jennifer Turner, the company's new chief executive officer, were moving quickly to build relationships with the leaders and businesses in Kingman.

They shared their calendar of events, including filming at its tourist destinations, and began referring participants in those activities to Kingman so they could dine, stay in hotels and purchase items in the city.

There are few sites around the world that are as majestic as the Grand Canyon. It is so awe-inspiring that it will leave you wanting more.

I remember visiting this natural cathedral a few years ago, but nothing could have prepared me for the absolutely stunning views. The sights and scenery from Guano Point on the West Rim were amazing! I have yet to get over the scope of how incredible the Grand Canyon truly is.

They say that life is all about experiences. The Grand Canyon just so happens to be one such unforgettable experience.

MOUNT PLEASANT — More than 100 people watched as ground broke for a new water park and hotel being opened by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe in Mount Pleasant.

Jennifer Turner, CEO of Migizi Economic Development Company, said the 243 room hotel would bring 200 construction jobs and would eventually bring more than 120 permanent jobs for the community.

"It's going to be a 12 to 14 month construction period," she said.

Migizi Economic Development Company is responsible for the development of non-gaming business interests for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and Turner said the water park alone will help the tribe gain branch out.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass-bottomed walkway that juts out over the canyon’s edge for a view of the Colorado River 4,000 feet below, is built on stable ground. The finances of the Indian tribe-owned corporation that had it built in 2007, however, are a bit shakier.

The Hualapai (pronounced wall-a-pie) Tribe put the corporation that owns the skywalk into bankruptcy protection on Monday after losing a court battle against Las Vegas developer David Jin, who was hired to build and manage the Arizona tourist attraction in 2003.
