Havasupai

The Havsuw’ Baaja (Blue Water People), or more commonly the Havasupai (aka Ahabasugapa, Havasooa Pa’a, Yavasupai, Suppai), are an American Indian tribe that has called the Grand Canyon its home for at least the past 800 years. Located primarily in an area known as Cataract Canyon, this Yuman-speaking population once laid claim to a land reservation the size of Delaware.

Throughout the centuries the tribe has relied heavily on agriculture, hunting, and gathering as a means of survival. Although living primarily above and inside the Grand Canyon which normally contains harsh terrain, the tribe’s reservation actually was home to some of the most lush vegetation and beautiful waters that the world has to offer. Their name, which means “the-people-of-the-blue-green-waters,” was by no means an aberration.

The Havasupai are said to have existed within and around the Grand Canyon for over eight centuries. Little is known about the tribe prior to their first recorded European encounter in 1776 with Spanish priest Francisco Garces. Garces reported seeing roughly 320 individuals in his time with the Havasupai, a number that would diminish over the centuries as westward expansion and natural catastrophes significantly decreased the population size,before rising to approximately 600 in the current era.
