Honoring Native American Day
Standing at Nankoweap, it’s hard not to feel the weight of time.
High above the Colorado River, ancient granaries sit among the canyon walls—a reminder that people have been living in, traveling through, and caring for this landscape for thousands of years.
As we float the river below, we are visitors in a place with a much deeper story than our own. The Grand Canyon isn’t simply scenery. It is home, history, culture, and a living connection to generations of Indigenous peoples.
This Native American Day, we pause to recognize and honor the Native communities whose ancestral lands include the Grand Canyon and whose connections to this place continue today.
