Music from CD: Sacred Spirit: Chants And Dances Of The Native Americans.
Track:Counterclockwise Circle Dance
There are claims that original song and music is
not Native American but rather from Native tribe of Norway.
Here is the link to the other version;
So far this claim sounds very much plausible.

Grand Canyon Skywalk
The Skywalk, a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge sticking out 4,000 feet above the bottom of the Grand Canyon, opened to the press and special guests on March 20, 2007. We managed to get out there for the event, armed with a video camera to capture the moment when Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin took the "First Walk" on the specially engineered glass surface and met the Hualapai tribe that owns it.

Ramps lead from the cage platforms up to the ceiling and to the top of the spiral staircase, allowing the rabbits the run of the house.
Ron built this over time for his four rabbits, Luna, Merlin, Mimoe, and Najimo.
The rabbits absolutely love running up and down the ramps.
No animals where harmed, coerced or stressed out in any way in the making of this film!

Grand Canyon Skywalk - VOA Story
The Grand Canyon in the Southwest state of Arizona is one of the seven natural wonders in the world. Carved out by the Colorado River over millions of years, the colorful gorge is over 400 kilometers long and is 24 kilometers across at its widest point. Now visitors to this popular tourist destination have a new way to experience the breathtaking views of the canyon.
The horseshoe-shaped skywalk extends 21 meters over the Grand Canyon's edge, creating a unique vantage point for visitors to look deep down into the chasm and the winding Colorado River 1200 meters below.
David Jin, the developer of the skywalk project, recalls his Grand Canyon experience that brought about the idea. "It was back in 1996," says Jin. "I took a helicopter tour at (the) Grand Canyon from the bottom to the top. After that, I wondered what it would be like to walk among the cliffs. Therefore, the idea of skywalk was born."
While Jin will profit from the $30 million project for 25 years, the Hualapai Indians, who agreed to building the skywalk on their land along the Grand Canyon's western rim hope income from tourists will help alleviate poverty in their community. Sheri Yellowhawk is the CEO of the Grand Canyon Resort Corporation, which oversees the tribe's tourism business.
Skywalk is expected to be the centerpiece of the Hualapai Indians' tourism industry which includes helicopter tours, river rafting, a cowboy town and a museum of Indian replica homes.
After three years of construction, the skywalk opened to the public in March 2007. Since then, the Hualapai Indians have seen a six fold increase in daily visitors.
Buzz Aldrin, a former astronaut who once walked the moon was one of the first to saunter the skywalk.
"This magnificent first walk bridges centuries of vision towards the future of hope," says Aldrin.
Not everyone supports the skywalk. One is Robert Arnberger, former Superintendent of the Grand Canyon National Park. "The Grand Canyon deserves much better than to have a thrill ride or thrill walk hanging over its edge," says Arnberger.
But Developer David Jin says, the skywalk design is environmentally conscious, utilizing recycled water and solar energy. In addition, the structure is designed to withstand hurricane force winds as well as powerful earthquakes.
So far Skywalk has attracted more than 100,000 visitors.
