Cannon de Chelly is not that far from Las Vegas. They could go there to

You mean this place?

There did not seem to be much employment there. They were taking $10 a
head to walk down into the valley and when you got there there were
indians selling beads and craft items.

There was a drunk indian on the trail who was trying to shake down
people for $50. We ran into someone who actually gave it to him. I
told him to get the **** away from me and reported him to the indian
police when we got up to the parking lot.
They knew who he was.

We actually hired a local through the visitor center and we drove in
buddy's 4x4 Burb on a tour of the valley. Got a lot of info on the living
conditions and attitudes. Our guides mom was one of the first native
doctors, and his wife was a school teacher. He had little desire other
than raise horses.
