Uqualla's Earth Walk

Description

For James Uqualla, a Havasupai religious practitioner, the hike from the Rim to Indian Garden (aka: Havasupai Gardens) is a pilgrimage. Dressed for ceremony, Uqualla walked to his ancestors' traditional farming lands, where he reconnected with them through ritualistic song and prayer. The procession marks a renewed relationship with lands taken from the Havasupai by the NPS in the 1920s. Listen to chant, smell burning sage, and feel the spirit of Grand Canyon through its original protectors.
