VALMONT BUTTE (1.19.07)

That hump of dirt and rock in the background doesn't look like much - neither in this picture or close-up, where it looks like the waste-lands from The Road Warrior. But before European settlers settled down there, installed one of the first cementaries in the area and then eventually made it all toxic with a large milling operation, Valmont Butte was a sacred site and something of a cross-roads for Native American tribes like the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Ute and Lakota.
