Who We Are

The Intertribal Centennial Conversations Group (ICCG) is an Indigenous grassroots
initiative that focuses on increasing the presence of the region’s Native people
within Grand Canyon National Park. 

“I want people to know that the cultural history of the Grand Canyon is not the history you read in colonial books. I want them to honor and respect our oral history and to understand that the history of the Grand Canyon doesn’t start with Mary Colter.”
– Ophelia Watahomigie-Corliss, Havasupai

“I’d like to see my progeny — all my great-grandchildren, and their grandchildren — be able to go to the canyon and realize and know that those places are protected and preserved for them
– Renae Yellowhorse, Diné (Navajo)

“My people have learned to adapt. That’s why we’re still here.”
– Coleen Kaska, Havasupai
