The Museum gives one a look back into the Culture of the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians.
We took the short drive to Pipe Spring, and spent the better part of a day learning about the Southern Paiutes. The museum was cooperatively funded and built, and is operated by the National Park Service and Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians.
The museum provides exhibits about the people and cultures who have lived in the Arizona/Utah borderlands for centuries.
I hope you can read this one and the next they explain a little of how the Kaibab Paiutes where able to adapt to the very harsh environment of the area.
They moved in small, semi-nomadic groups, using natural shelters or building kahns of juniper branches and brush, they were better able to glean the region's resources than the sedentary Puebloans.
Within the lives of Southern Paiutes, there is an inherent understanding that all things are placed on this land with the breath of life, just as humans.
I for one am amazed at the detail work that the Ladies of Indian Tribes were able to do by hand with just using what nature provided them.
I believe this is an example of Puebloans, building an village.
This contemplates the lives of - E'nengweng to the Paiute
