yes
thats another mistake the article makes
at the time of my first visit there in the 1960s
the federally constructed slab monument was already there
but there was no indian presence
no bowries
no booths
no admission fee
etc
you just turned off the highway & drove a short distance
& there was the slab
gradually the navajos have taken the place over tho
of course it is 3quarters their place
so why not
the utes however
who own the colorado quarter
have never taken much of an interest
