Piapaxa 'Uipi (Big River Canyon): Southern Paiute Ethnographic Resource Inventory and assissment for Colorado River Corridor, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah and Arizona, and Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona |
| Description |
Report on the cultural significance of the Colorado River, Glen Canyon, and Grand Canyon to the Paiute people (327 pages). From executive summary: "This ethnographic resource study was funded by the Bureau of Reclamation and administered by the National Park Service for the period May 1, 1992 to January 1, 1994. The purpose of the research is to identify and document Southern Paiute ethnographic resources located along the Colorado River Corridor from Glen Canyon Dam to the end of the free flowing river at Separation Canyon within Grand Canyon National Park. The findings of this study are to be incorporated into the Glen Canyon Dam Environmental Impact Statement, which assesses the impacts of water releases downstream from the dam. This study area involves approximately 255 miles down river from Lee's Ferry and 15 miles up river from Lee's Ferry to Glen Canyon Dam. "The study identifies the ethnographic concerns of Southern Paiute people as these are represented by three tribes: San Juan Southern Paiute, Kaibab Paiute, and Shivwits Paiute Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. A total of 364 interviews were conducted with representatives of these tribes at archaeological and ethnobotanical sites located along the Colorado River during two raft trips through the study area. These interviews are the basis of the Southern Paiute responses to potential impacts deriving from Glen Canyon water releases. Discussions with elders and an extensive search of documents provided additional information about how these Indian people feel about the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. An extensive videotape of sites along the Colorado River provided tribal elders with the opportunity to make additional comments about Southern Paiute ethnographic resources." |
