Sacrilege for the Sake of Profit

The above article describes the intricacies of a pending development. The project is a tourist development on the edge and in the Grand Canyon near the confluence of the Little Colorado and Colorado River. This area is sacred to the region's native tribes and the proposed project threatens this practically pristine location. This topic interests me because I have had the opportunity to visit the confluence via multiple river trips. I also grew up very close to the canyon and have a special appreciation for the region. As such I am interested in preserving the natural beauty in and around the canyon. This article was found on Smithsonian.com.
