I was told by the officer that if I have someone from the tribe I can go whenever I want. Is anyone on this forum a member of gila river tribe? Looks like I need to make some new Native friends.

When you go back to pay the fine, and you should, maybe you could suggest/ask in lieu of a fine if you might teach some native kids how to kite, sort of as a community service project. You would be making new friends for life if they take you up on it... just my thoughts.

Get out of my head!!! :lol:

Website to the Gila River Youth Council
http://www.gricyouthcouncil.org/

Some interesting trivia...
The Gila River Indian Community, with over four million potential customers in the Phoenix metro area, owns and/or operates three casinos, a resort hotel, a spa, an equestrian center, two golf courses, an arts & crafts center, two tribal museums, an NHRA certified race track, a race-car driving school, and a racing-boat course. :o

The reservation was the birthplace of and the home at the time of death of Ira Hayes, depicted in the photograph Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima in 1945.
