The Havasupai tribe lives at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, in Supai Village. Just north of the village, a hidden aquifer turns into Havasu Falls, a waterfall that cascades into a pool of blue-green water. This water has sustained the Havasupai people for centuries, nourishing their crops, softening the harsh conditions of the desert, and serving as a place of reverence. But now, the Havasupai tribe’s water source is threatened by uranium mining.

Carletta Tilousi is a member of the Havasupai tribal council’s anti-uranium committee. She explains their 30-year fight against what is now known as the Pinyon Plain Mine. Colleen Kaska, a former Havasupai tribal council member, reads a poem she wrote about the importance of water to her people.

Take Action:

On April 11, 2023 the Havasupai and other Southwest tribes announced their effort to designate the Grand Canyon area as a national monument. They are calling on the federal government to designate this area a permanently protected area, and in doing so, protect it from mining and other threats. You can learn how to support this effort by signing the petition here.
