Resort project near Navajo Nation stirs culture controversy
December 19, 2020 GMT
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) A large campground resort project proposed for a northern Arizona high desert site near the Navajo Nation is stalled amid objections centering on cultural sensitivity in general and teepees in particular.
The planned inclusion of wagons and teepees the conical tents that were widely used by tribes on the Great Plains but typically not by Indigenous people of the Southwest drew scorn from one county official considering a rezoning request and development plan for the project.
“If you’re truly going to respect and honor the Native people, then do so,” said Coconino County Supervisor Lena Fowler. “Don’t be building something that just really is a stereotype again.”
It all came down to the tipis for the proposed Two Guns Resort 28 miles east of Flagstaff during a meeting of the Coconino County Board of Supervisors Tuesday evening.
After about three hours of discussion and presentations from county staff and the developer regarding the zone change and development plan for the project, the board delayed its approval of the glamping resort project at the Two Guns interchange on Interstate 40 for cultural reasons, instead voting to continue its discussion sometime after the first of the year.
Plans for the resort, to be developed by Indiana-based Gunderman Designs & Concepts Inc., specify 787 total lodging units, including 395 recreational vehicle sites, 78 tipis, 43 wagons, 98 cabins, 19 yurts and a 13-unit Cliffside hotel. The resort would also include a Route 66 drive-in theater, steakhouse, water park, pet resort and helipad, as well as a military museum and Native American memorial.
