A popular Grand Canyon hiking stop's 'offensive' name has been changed to honor the Native tribe that was forcibly removed from the location.
since 1880. But in this particular area, members were forcibly removed, with the last Havasupai Tribal member being forced out in the late 1920s, the NPS said.
"Every year, approximately 100,000 people visit the area while hiking the Bright Angel Trail, largely unaware of this history," Siyuja said."The renaming of this sacred place to Havasupai Gardens will finally right that wrong." That man's descendants are still fighting to protect their Tribe's history and culture today, under the name of Tilousi.
"The Creator made the Havasupai People the guardians of the Grand Canyon, and this is a role that we take very seriously," he said."We are a small tribe. But our voices and our spirits are large."
