Tilousi’s journey marked a pivotal moment in the Havasupai Tribe’s relationship with the U.S. government nearly a century after the last tribal member was forcibly removed from what’s now Grand Canyon National Park — one of the biggest tourist draws in the world. They recently partnered on events marking the rededication of a popular campground in the inner canyon from Indian Garden to Havasupai Gardens or “Ha’a Gyoh.
Park Superintendent Ed Keable acknowledged the removal and sometimes violent injustices over decades on the part of the federal government. Speaking after the ceremony at Havasupai Gardens last Friday, he said the renaming marked a new era of collaboration with Havasupai and other Native American tribes associated with the canyon.
It’s known for the towering waterfalls that give the Havasupai, or Havasu ’Baaja, their name — “people of the blue-green waters.” Thousands of tourists from around the world visit annually, providing the tribe’s largest source of income.Native American tribal members in Arizona are celebrating the renaming of a popular Grand Canyon campground. As AP correspondent Ty O'Neil reports, the change follows years of lobbying by the Havasupai tribe to reclaim part of its heritage.
“It is our home, it is our land and it is our well-being,” said another cousin, tribal Vice Chairman Edmond Tilousi. “We have always maintained our connection to this place, not by showing or by boasting. It’s just that we came here and we did our prayers, we did our songs on the rim,” said Dianna Sue Uqualla, an elder who participated in the blessing at a small amphitheater off Bright Angel Trail. “Through that, I think the spirits heard and awoke and said, ‘Yes, you are still here.’”
A few hikers wandered into the amphitheater, and he assured them that anyone who was there was meant to be.
