Some Good News: The Confluence inside the Grand Canyon - between the Colorado and the Little Colorado rivers has been protected as a sacred site by the Navajo Nation.

The specific site has been at the crosshairs of development pressures for over a decade - from a billion dollar tramway proposal to hydroelectric dams. I once climbed out of the canyon at this spot (brutal) with @kevinfedarkoauthor and others to meet Renae Yellowhorse (image 2) to understand the development risks.

Thanks to Renae and a committed group of predominantly Navajo grandmothers that led this fight, many who I had the pleasure to meet, interview and showcase in my documentary “Into the Grand Canyon” they have helped protect this place - and your National Park vistas around it — for good.

That is some refreshing good news in a world filled with little, especially around our public lands, parks and monuments.

“This victory does not mean that we oppose progress or opportunity for our people. It means that progress must have wisdom behind it. There are places where development can occur and there are places that carry responsibilities greater than ourselves. Tooh Ahidiilíní is one of those places. Once a sacred landscape is lost, no amount of money can bring it back.” Rita Bilagody - Save the Confluence leader.
