“We Are Grand Canyon” Film Explores Indigenous Connections to Grand Canyon

There are 11 tribes traditionally associated with Grand Canyon. Members of these are vibrant communities have a profound connection to this place. For them, it is not just somewhere to visit—it is home. The best way to learn about these tribes, their rich and complex histories, and the current events that matter most to them is directly from tribal members themselves. 

The film “We Are Grand Canyon” features the voices and stories of members of the 11 tribes to articulate the important relationship between Indigenous people and the living entity that is Grand Canyon. This Native American Heritage Month, we recommend watching the film to understand this deep and important connection and how it differs from mere tourism. It premiered in April 2024 and can be seen at the top of each hour at the Visitor Center Theater at the Grand Canyon’s South Rim.
