Grand Canyon National Park is geological and human history writ large

Earth Notes: Grand Canyon To Become Park Service's First Inter-Tribal Cultural Heritage Site

2:00 Desert View Watchtower was built in the 1930’s, designed by renowned architect Mary Colter. She created it to echo the structures of Ancestral Puebloan people found at what is now Hovenweep National Monument and Mesa Verde National Park. Work by Indigenous artists, including Fred Kabotie, adorn the watchtower. Plans for the new heritage site include a tribal welcome center and expanded cultural demonstrations, including silversmithing and pottery making. The Tribes involved with the project say it’s an opportunity to share not only their rich histories with millions of annual visitors to the Park, but also a chance to showcase their evolving and complex cultures. The Park Service believes the site will promote and acknowledge the diverse tribal cultures connected to the Grand Canyon, incorporating vital First-voices and perspectives into park interpretive programs.
