Layers Part 2 (Grand Canyon)

Somewhere in the distance, the spirit of a Navajo chief sings a war cry.
His face shows self-assurance and strength
"We will defeat these poisonous visitors" he says to his flock
But in his heart, there are layers of questions and doubt
"I love you with all my heart and I will die for you and our land" he says to his wife on the night prior to his last battle.
He never says good-bye, but she understands.
Somewhere, between the layers of the Grand Canyon, his spirit watches the river stream carve deeper into the Earth, and smiles.
"They could take my life and extinguish my people" he whispers into my ear, "But they could never take me from my land."
