    National Park Service Grand Canyon U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon National Park Arizona Hualapai Tribe and Skywalk The Hualapai (WALL-uh-pie), the “People of the Tall Pines,” have lived in the Southwest for untold generations. Traditionally their homelands stretched from Grand Canyon to the Bill Williams River in west-central Arizona and from the Black Mountains bordering the Colorado River to the San Francisco Peaks. Pri- marily nomadic hunter-gathers, they also traded with nearby tribes. The Hualapai Reservation of just less than 1,000,000 acres (404,686 ha) was established in 1883. Today the tribe counts about 2,300 members. Peach Springs on Highway 66 is the tribal headquarters. The tribe operates a hotel, restaurant, and gift shop in Peach Springs. While limited ranching, timber harvest, and guided hunts provide some income, the tourist industry offers the best opportunity for employment of tribal members. The Skywalk at The Hualapai Tribe has chosen a site at the far The Skywalk, managed by the Hualapai Tribe and Grand Canyon West western end of Grand Canyon about 250 miles located on tribal lands, consists of a horseshoe- (400 km) by road, a five hour drive, from Grand shaped steel frame with glass floor and sides that Canyon Village to offer a variety of visitor services projects about 70 feet (21 m) from the canyon rim. including the Skywalk in a development called While the Skywalk is the most famous attraction Grand Canyon West.

Morgan and the 21st Navajo Nation Council presented representatives from the Havasupai Tribe with gifts of appreciation because the Havasupai Tribe, other tribes and the Navajo Nation formed a united tribal front to oppose snowmaking on Dook’o’slííd. Thomas Walker Jr. (Birdsprings/Leupp/Tolani Lake), who advocated for the Navajo Nation, presented gifts to Edmund Tilousi, Vice Chair of the Havasupai Tribe, Carletta Tilousi, councilwoman for the Havasupai Tribe and Hertha Woody, Sierra Club volunteer, of Shiprock, N.M. Left to right: Eric Descheenie, Legislative Staff Assistant; Thomas Walker, Council Delegate (Birdsprings/Leupp/Tolani Lake); Carletta Tilousi, Havasupai Tribe Councilwoman: Hertha Woody, Sierra Club Volunteer. Absent is Edmund Tilousi, Havasupai Tribe Vice Chair. (Photo by Speaker Morgan and the 21st Navajo Nation Laphillda Tso) Council are grateful for the relationship that has been built with the Havasupai Tribe. The Havasupai’s involvement in helping form a united tribal front, along with the Navajo Nation, protects the sanctity of the San Francisco Peaks -- Dook’o’oslííd, which ultimately made a significant difference in the Flagstaff City Council’s decision to disapprove the substitute water sale agreement to make artificial snow at the Arizona Snowbowl.

  • Havasupai Nation Field Trip May 16 – 20, 2012 by Melissa Armstrong
    Havasupai Nation Field Trip May 16 – 20, 2012 By Melissa Armstrong The ESA SEEDS program had a field trip to Flagstaff, AZ the Havasupai Nation in Western Grand Canyon from May 16 – 20, 2012 as part of the Western Sustainable Communities project with funding from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation. The focus of the field trip was on water sustainability of the Colorado River Basin from a cultural and ecological perspective. The idea for this field trip arose during the Western Regional Leadership Meeting held in Flagstaff in April 2011 as a way to ground our meeting discussions in one of the most iconic places of the Colorado Plateau – the Grand Canyon. SEEDS alumnus Hertha Woody helped ESA connect with the Havasupai Nation; she worked closely with the former Havasupai tribal council during her tenure with Grand Canyon Trust as a tribal liaison. Hertha was instrumental in the planning of this experience for students. In attendance for this field trip were 17 undergraduate and graduate students, 1 alumnus, 1 Chapter advisor, and 2 ESA staff members (21 people total), representing eight Chapter campuses (Dine College Tuba City and Shiprock campuses, ASU, NAU, UNM, SIPI, NMSU, Stanford) – See Appendix A. The students were from a diverse and vibrant background; 42% were Native American, 26% White, 26% Hispanic and 5% Asian. All four of our speakers were Native American. The overall experience was profound given the esteem and generosity of the people who shared their knowledge with our group, the scale of the issues that were raised, the incredibly beautiful setting of Havasu Canyon, and the significant effort that it took to hike to Supai Village and the campgrounds – approximately 30 miles in three days at an elevation change of 1,500 feet each way.

  • US House of Representatives Natural Resources Subcommittee
    US House of Representatives Natural Resources Subcommittee Havasupai Tribe – Support for HR 1373 and Permanent Protection of the Grand Canyon Watershed from Mining Introduction My name is Carletta Tilousi and I am an elected Member of the Havasupai Tribal Council. I am here on behalf of the Havasupai Tribe to support HR 1373, which will permanently ban uranium mining and the establishment of new mining claims on federal lands located next to the Grand Canyon National Park and the Havasupai Indian Reservation. The Tribe supports the Bill because it will permanently protect one million acres of public lands from mining, including uranium mining that threatens Havasu Creek, which flows through our homeland and forms our famous waterfalls. The Grand Canyon is a world famous natural wonder and a national treasure. Millions of people visit the Grand Canyon every year. Many Americans falsely believe that public lands like the Grand Canyon, and the federal lands surrounding the Grand Canyon, are already protected from development and mining. However, the 1872 Mining Law, that is still a valid US law, allows mining companies to stake mining claims and conduct mining operations on public lands. 1 Uranium mining has already poisoned and will continue to poison the Grand Canyon. It will poison the groundwater and aquifers that feed into the Colorado River. It will poison the land, the plants, the animals, the people that live there, and the visitors. The Havasupai Tribe is one of the most remote communities in North America. We are located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in Supai Village, which is accessible only by horse, helicopter, or 8-mile hike.

  • A Confluence of Anticolonial Pathways for Indigenous Sacred Site Protection *Rachel Ellis1 and Denielle Perry2
    88 Universities Council on Water Resources Journal of Contemporary Water Research & Education Issue 169, Pages 8-26, April 2020 A Confluence of Anticolonial Pathways for Indigenous Sacred Site Protection *Rachel Ellis1 and Denielle Perry2 1Sustainable Communities, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 2School of Earth and Sustainability, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ *Corresponding Author Abstract: The confluence of the Little Colorado and Colorado Rivers is an Indigenous socio-ecological landscape, revolving in large part around water resources. Substantial surface and groundwater use within the Little Colorado River (LCR) basin threatens the water sources of the confluence, springs in the LCR basin, and specifically the Hopi Sipapuni—a sacred site of cultural emergence. To address concerns about diminished flows of sacred springs, we engaged in praxis through collaborative, reciprocal, community- based research processes. Through the lens of anticolonial theory, we ask: Can federal policies be employed in an anticolonial pursuit of water and sacred site protection? How do Indigenous grassroots organizers envision protection and work to re-Indigenize water management? Semi-structured interviews with Indigenous community organizers and federal land managers were coupled with policy analysis of the National Historic Preservation Act/Traditional Cultural Properties, the ongoing LCR Adjudication, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Findings point to multifaceted, complex, and contradictory themes that elucidate the continued influence of colonization on water governance and the degree to which protection solutions can be anticolonial. Criteria were generated for anticolonial protective pathways that highlight the centrality of reciprocal relationships, Indigenous Knowledges, and meaningful inclusion. While details about protection pathways for the confluence and Sipapuni are many, the salient finding is that the struggle for water protection in the LCR is the struggle for protection of inherent Indigenous rights.
