Elevating Indigenous Voices at Grand Canyon

It can be easy to forget how much signs matter, even in a place like Grand Canyon National Park. For the hundreds of thousands of visitors who brave Grand Canyon trails each year, signs are literally lifesavers. Signs are just as crucial to building widespread love and enduring support for the park. Millions of visitors arrive each year, ready to snap photos of wayside exhibits and informational signs that describe the science, culture, and history of Grand Canyon National Park. Our visitors carry these stories with them when they return to their homes around the world.

Some of the most important stories come from Grand Canyon's Indigenous tribes - the peoples who call the canyon home and who have been here since time immemorial. But, due to the National Park Service’s history of removing Indigenous voices from the park, Grand Canyon still has hundreds of informational signs and panels that must be updated and replaced in order to properly elevate these voices to their rightful place.
