Li Du and the rest were about to get into the Iron Knight; they had wanted to rent a car but the rental car business had not survived in the small town So they had no choice but to drive the truck
In addition to the itee units, the truck was also stuffed with some old-fashi+oned accessories and hand these e auction business all the time?”
Li Du did not catch his joke ”What do youthis old stuff even when you are on vacation?”
Li Du pointed at Hans ”His idea, nothing to do with me”
Everyone looked at Hans curiously Olly asked, ”Why did you bring this stuff? Old-style weaving et these antiques?”
Hans chuckled, ”You askLake Powell? Who used to previously own Lake Powell?”
dickens realized it suddenly ”Oh, you are going to trade with the Hopi? The Hopi are not like the Amish, they do not welcome outsiders”
Turis said, ”He would surely be able to enter, otherould he bring all this stuff? Quick, let's get some stuff Go take a look”
Olly asked in surprise, ”How did you get connected to the Hopi? Those people hate whites to the core”
Han said, ”I did not get connected to the all this stuff? They will never trade with you”
Hans patted Li Du's shoulder and laughed, ”My brother is yellow-skinned The Hopi will be willing to trade with him”
Li Du looked at him helplessly ”Buddy, is this considered racial discrimination?”
Hans said innocently, ”Of course not Even so, that would be the Hopi discriainst us whites”
The Hopi were a Native Aovernment They mainly resided in northeastern Arizona Their population was very small: fewer than 20,000 people
However, these 20,000 people occupied 4,000 square inally The US governraze, hunt or build on these lands, which were entirely attributed to theht to deport anyone who entered the land, as they pleased
This did not mean that the Hopi could do whatever they wished on this piece of land, and also did not mean they were happy to stay on this piece of land This was because this piece of land was surrounded by the even larger Navajo Reservation Both the Navajos and Hopi were to share the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area
However, the Navajos were more powerful They would always mix up the boundaries and invade the Hopi's territory; the two parties were always in conflict
In the past the Hopi did not have a good relationshi+p with the US governovern the Navajos to suppress them This attitude sometimes still affected their interactions with people considered ”Americans”
Hence, they would sometimes decline to trade hite people, and only traded with other Native A to try; after all, his deal with the Aain soreat?
Driving along, they went toward the scenic Lake Powell
In order to let Li Du enjoy more local scenery, Hans deliberately chose to travel from the east
”What's the difference?” he asked as he looked at the landscape
