DOING JUST FINE, THANK YOU.


Parker, Arizona
A stretch of the Colorado River on the Colorado River Indian Reservation.

Four tribes comprise the CRIT, Mohave, Chemehuevi, Hopi and Navajo with 3,500 members currently living on the reservation. Their main sources of income is agriculture, retail and the booming "Blue Water Casino."
The CRIT Reservation was created in 1865 by the Federal Government for Indians of the Colorado River and its tributaries, no matter they had already lived here for centuries.  "Gosh, thanks US Gov't, now we have a name and area we can call our very own."  The Indians have been assimilated into the "new ways" and are doing just fine now, thank you.

Overlooking the boat slips dredged from the edge of the Colorado River, the Blue River Casino is Las Vegas action without all the neon.

Indoor pool looks out onto the boat slips and Colorado River.

American Coots aerate and fertilize the lawn for free.

We donated $10.50 to the Casino Cause.  Odds are with us again.
