Also to be dedicated is a John Wesley Powell Historic Museum near Glen Canyon Dam in Page, Ariz. When Major Powell first saw the area it was a frightening display of high, impregnable canyon walls with mazes of side st canyons. The main gorge was filled with the murky, brown water of the mighty Colorado. Now the main gorge is a deep blue lake, and the side canyons are intriguing recreational areas for thousands of boaters and campers who visit the lake. But, 800 years before Powell and even earlier explorers entered the region, the ancient Utah-Arizon- a Dcddd Moki Indians built their civilization within toe canyons of the Colorado. Stone houses and storage bins lined the walls along the upper cliffs and small steps etched into the sheer walls below were the only access. The Cliff Dwellings were invincible.

Chat-terle- y dwellings. de Near many of the ruins are Indian writings or petroglyphs drawn on the walls. Picture of deer, bows and arrows, circular figures and strange manlike gods with decorative triangular heads line the smooth walls. The pictographs never have been fully interpreted, and it is still debatable if they were simply ornamental, informational or part of the Mokis religion. South of the two marinas is Lost Eden Canyon, one of the mlast scenic areas on Lake Powell. Dwellings line the walls of this canyon where the Indians once farmed the sandbars of the rivers and streams. Metates (corn grinders) have been found below the houses along with bowl shaped holes scraped out of the sandstone by the anients who sat for hours grinding the corn.

Each mile holds some mystery worth exploring. The ancient dwellings are part of that mystery, and many boaters become hikers to get a better look at the area. Located near the middle of the lake, close to Bullfrog Basin Marina and Halls Crossing Ferry Service, are side canyons where ruins of the ancient Indians can still be seen. Above the winding waters of Moki Canyon many of the rock-sladwellings are nestled close to the cliff in nearly the same condition they were in before Columbus was born. The ruins blend with the sandstone gorge, and it takes sharp eyes or a good guide to note the difference between natural rock and Pavbeeued beef, western style will be the fare this coming Saturday evening when the 85th Quorum of Seventy of the Ka- rsh Stake stage their annual 70s Day Barbecue.
