Rainbow Spirit

This story comes from when I was growing up... the Rainbow Spirit, who roams the land, is the keeper of the land. The Rainbow Spirit travels across the landscape, stopping at various locations, places such as Kings Canyon, Palm Valley and others. We are taught this and we know not to mess with our Rainbow Spirit, we must not disrespect the country... or we will be punished and destroyed both spiritually and physically. I feel sadness at those who do not understand nor obey the Rainbow Spirit, as it is their body that is punished with illness...
