Troubled waters:

In an iconic corner of the Grand Canyon, a uranium mine may threaten a tribe’s sole water source

The mine sits on top of the aquifer that feeds the tribe’s waterfalls with the unusually blue water their name refers to: Havasupai, or Havasu ‘Baaja, meaning people of the blue-green waters. The tribe has no other source of drinking water, and they fear that if it becomes contaminated, their health will suffer. “Once it goes into our village, we will get sick,” Uqualla says. “I question to these mining people: ‘Are you going to take accountability to pay for my people’s hospitalizations?’” The land surrounding the Grand Canyon contains some of the highest grade uranium in the United States—an element that’s in demand for nuclear energy production. President Joe Biden’s administration enacted the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument last year to protect 3700 square kilometers flanking the canyon and ban new mining claims. But the announcement didn’t affect the Pinyon Plain Mine—the focus of a long-running dispute that has mobilized scientists and pitted the tribe and environmental groups against the mining company and the state—because it had existing mining rights that were protected under federal law...

Marble Canyon by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: Marble Canyon Coconino County Arizona March 2025 The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through Marble Canyon, a stunning stretch of the Grand Canyon region in northern Arizona. As it flows between towering walls of layered limestone and sandstone, the river reveals a vivid cross-section of geological history, etched over millions of years. The canyon's sheer cliffs, often glowing red and gold in the sunlight, rise steeply above the winding waters, creating a breathtaking contrast between rock and river. Marble Canyon marks the beginning of the Grand Canyon proper, and it's not only a geologic wonder but also a sacred and culturally rich area. The photo was taken from the historic Navajo Bridge.

In addition to Valentine's Day, Let's not forget the birthday of the Grand Canyon State itself.

Come to this land of sunshine,

To this land where life is young.

Where the wide, wide world is waiting,

The songs that will now be sung.

Where the golden sun is flaming

Into warm, white shining day.

And the sons of men are blazing

Their priceless right of way.

(Chorus)

Sing the song that's in your hearts,

Sing of the great Southwest.

Thank God, for Arizona,

In splendid sunshine dressed.

For thy beauty and thy grandeur,

For thy regal robes so sheen,

We hail thee Arizona

Our Goddess and our queen.

Arizona : This is the best Valentine's Day gift ever!

Oregon : Not as the same as my birthday. We share the same birthday to you know on Valentine's Day.

Julia Chang & Kuchinashi : We know!

The Hopi Keeper of Death and Doorway to the Underworld Sipapu

In a certain part of the Grand Canyon, a passage to the underworld known as Sipapu is said to be according to the Hopi natives. And from the depths of the underworld, the keeper of death, Maasaw is said to roam. 

In a certain part of the Grand Canyon, a passage to the underworld known as Sipapu is said to be according to the Hopi natives. And from the depths of the underworld, the keeper of death, Maasaw is said to roam.  Looking out at the vast landscape of the Grand Canyon there is no wonder that people have thought about it as a sacred place and that many legends, myths and stories are set in this…
