Vision
We, the descendants of ancestral inhabitants of the Grand Canyon acknowledge the spiritual pathways of our ancestors by commemorating our Indigenous presence and sharing our true history while we begin to heal, build, and strengthen relationships with all people to protect Grand Canyon’s heritage.
Mission
We, as descendants of the ancestral inhabitants of the Grand Canyon acknowledge our past relationship and
accept our future responsibilities to:
Preserve our relationships to the Grand Canyon
Protect the entirety of the Grand Canyon
Proclaim our unique histories and experiences
Explore economic paradigms that honor the Grand Canyon’s sacredness
Background
"In 2018, the Intertribal Centennial Conversations Group came together to reflect on their collective histories — from our origins to present day — and discuss the future, knowing that we leave behind a continued legacy to protect and preserve our languages, as well as our cultural identities and shared cultural knowledge. With traumatic histories passed down through generations, we learned and continue to heal from the past, acknowledging all that has happened to reshape and shift into a moment where our voices will be heard." - Sarana Riggs
