AUGUST 11 – 12 NORTH RIM NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE DAYS
This event celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the Colorado Plateau , the Arizona Strip and the Grand Canyon . Native American Heritage Days began in 1993 as “ Paiute Days ” which celebrated the Paiute as the last Native American group to occupy the North Rim of what would become Grand Canyon National Park . In 1997 , the event was expanded to include all Native American groups with cultural ties to the Grand Canyon . Today , eleven tribes maintain strong cultural connections to the canyon . Throughout Native American Heritage Days , special programs will be offered by tribal members and nontribal members on a variety of subjects , ranging from ethnobotany to Native American music and dance . Programmed activities will take place in various locations throughout the North Rim developed area . Visitors may inquire at the North and South Rim visitor centers for a complete list of event activities , as well as their times and locations . For additional information on Native American Heritage Days , please contact the North Rim interpretive rangers at 928-638-7870 .
