Far away in the magical Southwestern Arizona Desert is a mountain range name Chuhk (keyhawk), which is a very sacred mountain. It is named for the carrying pack Native American Mothers use to carry their babies, on their backs, when they can’t walk. To carry someone is a sacred act. There once was a Native American little boy from the Tohono O’odham Nation and you are about to find out why he was named Chuhk. One day while he was sitting on his favorite rock, watching Red-Tailed hawks fly, a little angel girl named Pixie appeared wearing pink roper cowgirl boots riding a horse cloud she named Stormy. Chuhk looked at her and said, “Who are you?” In a cowgirl twang she said to Chuhk, “Why I am your giddy up guardian angel and my name is Pixie! Whatcha doin up here?”.
