Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni protects over 900,000 acres of ancestral lands surrounding the Grand Canyon, sacred to 13 tribal nations. Its name—Havasupai and Hopi for "where Indigenous peoples roam" and "our ancestral footprints"—honors deep cultural ties. The monument preserves sacred sites, rare wildlife, and vital watersheds through tribal and federal collaboration. The open plateaus, canyons, and expansive desert views are truly breathtaking.
