Many of our canyons are on lands that Indigenous people hold sacred. These are lands that have been stewarded by Indigenous peoples since before history can remember, and which were stolen from them by colonial governments. We encourage all in our community to learn about the relationship that Indigenous people have to the canyons you visit. Travel lightly and with respect for all who care for these special places.
