The story of the Grand Canyon extends well beyond the political and geographic boundaries that are shown on modern maps; we must understand the larger landscape and its histories to truly appreciate the canyon.
-Richard M. Negative, Navajo Traditional Scholar
Long before the countless numbers of explorers, prospectors, railroad men and entrepreneurs came to explore and exploit the Grand Canyon, the canyon had a place in the lives of many of the Southwest's American Indian people. Known today in National Park Service policy as Traditionally Associated Tribes, they share a long and deep historical, cultural, and spiritual connection to the land in and around the Grand Canyon National Park, and are profoundly invested in what happens here. As tribal representatives often say, "We have been here since time inmemorial, we are still here, and we will always be here."
This book grew out of a genuine interest to better understand each of the Traditionally Associated Tribes and their relationship to Grand Canyon.
-Janet Cohen, Tribal Manager, Grand Canyon National Park
