A visit to one or more of the Native American Indian Nations
and Reservations can be a wonderful experience when you vacation in Sedona,
Arizona, or any area of Arizona. A tour from Sedona with a permitted company will help
answer all of the burning questions you have about our Native People, and will surely
enhance any experience you will have.
With Indian tribes and nations such as the Navajo
(Diné - the People), you may tour from Sedona and visit sites such as the
incredible formations and landscape of Monument Valley, the backdrop of so many
westerns, or Canyon de Chelly with the immaculate White House ruins and sacred Spider
Rock on the Navajo Nation promise to astound as well as intigue all of those who visit.
Antelope Canyon, or the "slot canyons" as many refer to them, offer
mesmerizing light displays. The sandstone formations of the lesser known Coal Mine
Canyon will remind you of those found at Bryce Canyon, but are even more colorful in
their displays.
The Hopi (Hopitu - people of Peace) are the amazing
artisans, and their artwork is intertwined throughout their culture and spirituality.
The carvers of the Kachina Dolls are experts at dry farming techniques, and many still
live in the same fashion, and even in the same homes on their 3 high rock mesas as they
have for thousands of years. In addition to the carvers, their pottery is world famous,
and their inlay work for jewelry is superb. You can actually pay for your tour with the
money you'll save by buying direct from the local artists.
Take a tour from Sedona to Peach Springs or Grand Canyon West, the home of the
Hualapai Indian Nation (people of the tall pines). Take
a walk on the engineering wonder known as the Skywalk, where you'll be able to look
4,000 feet down through the floor and see the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Hop on a
helicopter and decend to the floor of the Grand Canyon where you'll have the opportunity
to float on the Colorado River in a raft. Or, you can even drive 21 miles down the only
access road through the Grand Canyon from the top to the bottom, then board a raft where
you'll be thrilled on the only one-day white water rafting excursion through the Grand
Canyon.
All of the Sedona Indian Tours listed above can be done as single day tours from
Sedona. Also possible, but better advised to do over a couple of days, is a visit to the
Havasupai Reservation, home to the "People of the
blue-green water". Known for the amazing set of 4 waterfalls at the bottom of the
Grand Canyon, an overnight stay at the campgrounds outside of the village of Supai at
the bottom of the Grand Canyon makes for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We like to
take a tour that horseback's down and hikes back out.
By taking a tour from Sedona to one of the local Indian Nations, you'll get information
on where the people originated, when they first came to the area, and how they live
today. (in case you were wondering, while "Native American" is considered
politically correct, it's actually a very insulting term...but we don't get into that
here)
If you're thinking about visiting one of our Indian Nations on your own, you should be
advised that most require a special permit in order to be on their land. In addition, if
you are not familiar with their customs and laws (remember, you are going to be on the
land of a sovereign nation), you could find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation.
For quick examples, no photography on the Hopi Nation and alcohol is forbidden on the
Navajo Nation. This is another reason why we recommend that you take a tour when
visiting any of the Indian Nations accessible from Sedona. The Sedona Tour Companies we
recommend all have the required permits and licenses with the Indian Nation and adhere
to all of the laws and customs of the people. You tour guide to the Reservation will
share with you some of the more important customs and laws and steer you clear of areas
for which access to you and your group may be forbidden.
In addition to meeting these fascinating people, certain tours from Sedona to Indian
Nations also offer the added bonus of being able to visit some spectacular sites. When
you visit on a tour from Sedona to meet the Navajo at Monument Valley, you'll have the
opportunity to travel with a Native Navajo guide and gain access to those areas off
limits to other visitor's. The same holds true at Canyon de Chelly where the only way to
drive through the bottom of the Canyon is to go with a local Navajo guide. Coal Mine
Canyon and Antelope Canyon can each be visited on a single day ground tour out of Sedona.
The fascinating Navajo, or Diné, have a rich history and culture. From herding
sheep and weaving rugs to silversmithing and turquoise jewelry, the Navajo are known
for their survival skills and craftsmanship.
