...Indians once caught eagles by lowering a brave down the face of a cliff in a rabbit-net made of red milkweed fibre. Down the Canada de las Uvas, (little canon of the grapes) one Angel Cuilpe, aged 104, showed him traces of wigwam towns; in Palm Canyon, one Juanito Razon, over 100, guided to ancient water holes, painted rocks, caves, sacred stones, magic springs...
