Do not regret growing older - It is a privilege denied to many.
Consider the advice from your elders : not because they are always right but because of the wisdom they have gleaned from being wrong. Two more below.
P.S I always listened to my Grandma, she was right about men ;-)

This is Big Hogan alcove / amphitheater. We are south of Thunderbird Mesa on private Tribal land. Oftentimes the Tour Guides will play Navajo flute and drums and sing traditional Navajo songs. The acoustics are excellent and the setting is spectacular. There is a big hole in the roof and you can see the light on the wall.
This is the view looking out from inside the alcove.

Big Hogan is a cave natural arch eroded in DeChelly sandstone. It is located very close to Moccasin Arch. It is one of several nice arches which are included in the commercial Monument Valley tours that go to the area south of the self-guided loop drive. This arch is within the boundaries of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park and a Navajo guide is required for any visitation.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor.[1] It is located on the Utah-Arizona state line, near the Four Corners area. The valley is a sacred area that lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation, the Native American people of the area.[2]
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns; critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."[3]
Diné bizaad: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, which roughly translates to the valley of rocks.

Thank you very much for comments! I really appreciate it!!
Native American petroglyphs in a cave in Joshua Tree, probably indicating food and water sources. The “fresh paint” isn’t original - the faint originals were painted over by an unknown person at some point to make them more visible. A park placard refers to the overpainting as vandalism.
Thank You Deep Dream Generator.
I have a deep appreciation for the Native Americans and this picture is meant with deep respect.

Normally we think of a home's foundations as lying on the ground. If you're building cliff dwellings, though, your supports stick out from a wall.
And, some centuries later, the post holes will remain.
Interesting Native American wall art. Off the beaten path in the Verde Valley, AZ. Maybe the right one is a lizard?
The woman was very respected in the culture of traditional Native American, and although women generally had different roles from men, they often had the same rights. Usually they were the owners of the house with everything in it, and in some tribes, where the head was a man, were women to be responsible for his election. Because the women's activities were considered as central to the welfare of the community, this gave them a certain degree of social, political and economic, and even today about 25% of the Native American tribes recognized by the US federal government is guided by women.
Carry this writing found in this blog www.keblog.it/ritratti-donne-nativi-americani-1800-foto-v... but I do not know if it's true, maybe some of my friend flikr can confirm or not the veracity.

ingredients:
~ Something old ...
~ Something Sioux*** ...
~ Something wearable ...
~ Something blue ...
~ BUT the same object or design element may not be used to meet more than one of the above criteria. For example, an old, blue-beaded moccasin could theoretically satisfy all four requirements but it may not! You’d have to pick one of the four requirements and then fulfill the other three with different objects or design elements.
*** Any obvious reference to, or item of, traditional Native American culture is okay: it need not be specifically of the Sioux tribes.
