Tribal Perspectives


TCP


  • NPS Link on Native American Perspectives and river trip orientation videos
  • Land boundary concerns: Some interpretations of federal law hold that the Grand Canyon National Park boundary is at the high water mark of the river. Others hold that it stretches above the rim of the canyon. The issue has never been settled in court.
  • Question: Are there some areas along the Colorado River that are considered by the tribes as "off-limits" to non-Indians? Answer: Yes.
  • Executive Order 13007 states that a federal agency shall accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious practitioners and that the federal agency shall avoid adversely affecting the physical integrity of such sacred sites.
