Governments Organization (SEAGO) which adjoin the East and West Reservation boundaries, as it’s first direction for the Highway Enhancement sources.The competitive grant applications are being handled by the San Carlos Transportation Department. I was commissioned to do the preliminary sketches for the east-west reservation lines as part of the submittals for the 1.8 million dollar project. FYI, I have included the first of 8 drawings to be included for evaluation.The listed three locations are:

1.) West side reservation line to Indian Route 6 turn-off; Mile Post 255.33 to Mile Post 259.48

2.) San Carlos High School & Bashas area to the new Turn-off of proposed San Carlos Hospital ½ mile east of Noline’s Country Store; Mile Post 271.17 to Mile Post 273.10

3.) East side reservation line to the Gila River Bridge; Mile Post 291 to Mile Post 300.04
1963-But when the white man come in... The renegade is the white man. He's the rascal. And he come in and killed off those buffaloes and starved those Indians out. Any genuine man would fight for his God-given right. It's a stain on the American flag what they did to the American Indian. After all, it belonged to him.
What would you think if Jap--Japan or--or some--Russia would come in and say, "Get out of here. Get back out here." And--and do us and our children the way we did those Indians? But remember, we've sowed, and now we're going to reap. That's the law of God, you know. There's a planting time and then a harvest time. I think that it's too bad; yes, sir. William Marrion Branham

"Indian Summer Evening"

"Lozen's Enemies-Against Ceremony"

About The Painting

"Lozen, was the sister of Victorio, Chief, of the Warm Springs Apache. The only woman who for forty years fought alongside Geronimo, Cochise, Nana, Mangus, Naiche, Loco and other great warriors in some of the bloodiest incidents of the Apache Wars. She fought at the Battle of Apache Pass, in Victorio’s struggle for his homeland, in the massacre at Cibecue, and throughout the Geronimo Campaigns.

A Supernatural power bestowed on her by the Creator, Lozen would lift her arms to the sky, place her hands against the wind, and through the warm sensations of the open palms could detect the direction and distance of her enemies. As she slowly turned, singing her song while following the direction of the sun, her hands tingled and the palms changed color when they pointed toward the foe. The intensity of the sensation indicated the approximate distance of the enemy, the closer the adversary, the more vivid the feeling. She also had power to calm and tame horses by her mere presence.

In her final days of freedom, under the leadership of Geronimo, she rode like the wind through the mountainous regions of Mexico pursued by and successfully evading one quarter of the United States Army. She died alone, as a prisoner of war in the state of Alabama."
