JULY 31, 2000

In an age of electronic communication, one Indian tribe, the Havasupai of Arizona, still get their mail the old-fashioned way.

The Havasupai who live in the bottom of the Grand Canyon rely on the Postal Service to deliver a majority of their goods since the US Postal Service is charged with delivering to every address. Mail to the tribe is delivered by foot, helicopter or mule.
