Hello, my name is Matthew Putesoy. My last name means man with the large-brimmed hat or – it could have two meanings – rifle.
This is Supai, Arizona. I was born and raised here. I’ve been living here for 42 years. The havasupai people have always lived here, originating from the Grand Canyon many thousands of years ago. They came up from the centre of the Earth a long time ago. In the bible stories there was a great flood. Our stories are similar to the bible. We live through the three worlds – one world we originated from, which is the centre of the Earth. A long time ago, the people came up from the ground and this place of origin as well call it is in the confluence of the Grand Canyon. Where the canyon meets the Colorado river. We’ve been living here for many thousands of years. When we first originated from the centre of the Earth, there were four races of man. From the centre of the Earth, these are the four sacred colours – red, white, yellow and black. Once they came out of the ground, the red people stayed here, the yellow people, the white people and the black people went their separate ways. So now we say that towards the end of the world, the end of creation, the four races of man will unite again. This is the story – the prophecy – that’s been told by our people. That’s our origin story.
We’ve lived here in the Grand Canyon for many years. The place of our aboriginal homeland is 10-15 miles from the Grand Canyon national park. This is a place of origin for our people. This is where we’ve been living for thousands of years. It’s a very sacred place for us, our people. When people came from across the sea to take over this land, the continent, they moved us from our aboriginal homeland to this land we now are standing in, Havasu Canyon. We’ve been isolated here for many years, hundreds of years now since the people who came across the sea, the ocean, divided and conquered the people, this continent. The original inhabitants were misplaced from our home. Our home is the Grand Canyon originally. The National Park Service and the Forest Service are now making these boundaries so we cannot go back home to our land anymore. So now this is our permanent home in the Grand Canyon. It’s also told that at the end of man’s evolution, we will one day return home to our aboriginal homelands. They were our lands before. This is why the councils are looking into expanding and moving out of the canyon here. We’re starting to develop our homes up at Grand Canyon national park. It’s called Supai Camp, it’s where we were living before we were moved down here. We’re start to expand up on the plateau lands, where we could have more room, where our people are growing, and starting to move out of the canyon to live on top of the plateau. It has been prophesized that one day the Supai Kachina will leave the Supai Canyon and come up onto the top of the world and tell the people about all of the bad things that have been happening on Mother Earth. Pollution and global warming. Things like that will be told by a member of our tribe. This is not going to be a normal person, it’s a Supai Kachina. He can have many blessings with him, like a medicine person. He can go out of the canyon and warn the people of the coming of the end of the world. We call this land Havasupai in English, Havasu Baaja, means people of the Blue-Green Waters. We take care of this land, we take care of this canyon.

Havasupai in June || Supai, Arizona || 2018 4K
In late June 2018 I had the opportunity to explore the Havasupai Tribes beautiful hidden oasis. All in it was about 30 miles of backpacking/hiking spread across three days.
A little history;
For over 1,000 years the remote village of Supai, Arizona, located eight miles hike below the rim of the Grand Canyon, has been home to the Havasu Baaja, People of the Blue Green Waters, or as they are known today, the Havasupai Tribe. Just above the village, a hidden limestone aquifer gushes forth the life sustaining blue green waters that have nourished the fields of corn, squash and beans which have allowed the Havasu Baaja to thrive living in the harsh desert landscape deep in the Grand Canyon for centuries. This remoteness creates many obstacles for residents and visitors alike. The United States Postal Service office in Supai transports all mail in and out of the canyon by mule train.

You Have to See it Before You Die: Havasu Falls
———————————————————————————————
Havasu Falls is a paradise on Earth. It is an incredible waterfall located in the Grand Canyon, Arizona. Even though it’s not easy to hike there, this place is definitely worth a visit. It will be smart to plan this hike ahead.
So it’s a 12 mile hike along the bottom of Hualapai Canyon. There is nothing but rocks, cliffs and baking sun. The most difficult part of this hike is in the very beginning of the trail where you need to get to the bottom of the canyon, going switchbacks for about a mile. It is not that hard when you go down, but on the way back to the parking lot you will have to brace yourself because it’s gonna be the hardest part of the trial. As a person was there and went through all the pain and blisters, let me give you a few helpful tips for this hike:
1. Be sure to bring A LOT of water wit you. It will be even better if you get insolated bottles and fill it with cold water. Trust me, there’s nothing better that cold water in this hit. You’ll remember my words when you’re there.
2. Get super comfortable super high quality hiking shoes and water shoes. You will not be able to survive there without them. There is no way.
3. Think TWICE about all the stuff that you want to carry with you if you want to carry it on your back. My personal suggestion – do not carry it on your back. Use horses or helicopter (but be sure to book it while ahead).
4. After 10 miles of hiking in the canyon, you will reach the Indian village, where you can find a restaurant, a store, and even wi-fi! No kidding! But don’t get too comfortable because you have to hike 2 more miles to the campground.

The Native Indians Village Supai, The American Indian Tribes of Arizona
Although the Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the most visit-able and popular destinations, it still has its secrets. One of these is the Indian Village Supai or Havasupai located at the bottom of Havasu Canyon, possibly the most isolated village in the United States. The Havasupai people are an American Indian tribe who have lived in the Grand Canyon for at least the past 800 years and is the smallest Indian Nation in America, with about 600 people, This native american language speak Yuman. Havasu means “blue-green water” and pai “people”. The village has been inhabited by the Havasupai since A.D. 1300.
Tourism is the main source of revenue for the Havasupai tribal people. The town receives more than 20,000 visitors per year. The Tribe charges for entering its land, and visitors are required to reserve either a room at their lodge, or space at the campground for grand canyon camping. In the village of Supai itself has a store, cafe, lodge and museum for tourists. Havasupai Museum of Culture displays the history, native american culture, art and traditions of the Havasupai as well as hosts social gatherings, such as dance, feasts, art fairs and native american music festivals.
Havasupai Trail is the only trail to Supai. The trailhead is at Hualapai Hilltop, Arizona (located at the end of BIA Road 18), where there is a large parking lot, a helipad and portable toilets. The trail can be traveled by foot or horseback. Alternatively, transportation by helicopter is periodically available. As a means of survival, the tribal people has turned to tourism, attracting thousands of people annually to its streams and waterfalls.
Havasu Falls is located 2.4 km from Supai. It consists of one main chute that drops over a 27 to 30 meters vertical cliff into a large pool. Due to the high mineral content of the water, the configuration of the falls is ever-changing and sometimes breaks into two separate chutes of water. The falls are known for their natural pools, created by mineralization, although the configuration of the falls and the pools are damaged or destroyed repeatedly by large floods that wash through the area. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that occur in various places near the falls. Havasu Creek is the life blood of the Havasupai tribe and their main source of tourism revenue.
Mooney Falls, The Falls are located 2.25 miles from Supai, just past the campgrounds. The trail leads to the top of the falls, where there is a lookout/photograph area that overlooks the 210-foot canyon wall that the waterfall cascades over. In order to gain access to the bottom of the falls and its pool, a very rugged and dangerous descent is required. Extreme care and discretion for the following portion is required; it is highly exposed and should not be attempted when the weather and/or conditions are not suitable.

I'm so happy to share the footage of the Havasupai Falls. The most remote city in the United States. The long walk is part of that breathtaking experiment.
Unfortunately drones are illegal over there now. Reason: A woman found a video on the internet of her naked, taken by a drone.
The temperature was at 42 degrees.

The Havasupai Indian Reservation is a Native American reservation for the Havasupai people, surrounded entirely by the Grand Canyon National Park, in Coconino county in Arizona, United States. It is considered one of America's most remote Indian reservations. The reservation is governed by a seven-member tribal council, led by a chairman who is elected from among the members of the council. The capital of the reservation is Supai, situated at the bottom of Cataract Canyon, one of the tributary canyons of the Grand Canyon. Havasupai is a combination of the words Havasu (meaning blue-green water) and pai (meaning people),[1] thus meaning people of the blue-green waters.[2]

The topography of the reservation is made up of plateau country, dissected with deep canyons. The plateau itself varies from rolling, gentle slopes, to escarpments of Kaibab Limestone.[3] While similar to other locations within the system of canyons of which it is part, Cataract Canyon is unique due to the high concentrations of travertine in Havasu creek. The canyon itself is the largest individual side-canyon to the Grand Canyon. The presence of the travertine is what leads to the aquamarine color of the streams and ponds in the canyon.[4] There is another small settlement at Indian Gardens.[6]
The main population center of the reservation is centered around Cataract Canyon (also known as Havasu Canyon), where the capital of the reservation, Supai, is located.[4] Supai has been referred to as the most remote community in the contiguous United States by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.[11] It is accessible only by helicopter, on foot or by mule. Supai is 8 miles (13 km) from the nearest road and has no automobiles in the community. It is the only place in the United States where mail is still carried out by mules.[12]
Notable geographic features include The Great Thumb, Long Mesa, and Tenderfoot Mesa. The main attraction is Havasu Creek, with aquamarine water (due to the presence of travertine), the stream is one of the longest tributaries on the south side of the Colorado River, and falls 1,400 feet (430 m) over its course. The stream is renowned for its beautiful waterfalls, which include Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Beaver Falls. A fourth well-known falls, Navajo Falls, is no longer in existence following a devastating flood in 2008.[3][13] While Navajo Falls is no longer in existence, the re-routing of the stream created two new falls, Fifty Foot Falls and Little Navajo Falls. [14]
Flora and fauna
Non-human denizens of the reservation include canyon tree frogs, cottontail rabbits, rattlesnakes, desert kingsnakes, and California condors.[4]
In the canyons, canyon grapevine and giant Fremont cottonwood trees can be found.[4]

The Two Faces of Research: the Havasupai experience with Arizona State University
Seven years ago, the Havasupai Indians, who live amid the turquoise waterfalls and red cliffs miles deep in the Grand Canyon, issued a banishment order to keep Arizona State University employees from setting foot on their reservation — an ancient punishment for what they regarded as a genetic-era betrayal.
Members of the tiny, isolated tribe had given DNA samples to university researchers starting in 1990, in the hope that they might provide genetic clues to the tribe's devastating rate of diabetes. But they learned that their blood samples had been used to study many other things, including mental illness and theories of the tribe's geographical origins that contradict their traditional stories.
In this video from FNIGC's 2011 National Conference to announce the release of RHS Phase 2 (March 1, 2011), members of the Havasupai Nation, Dianna Sue Uqualla and Carletta Tilousi, discuss their long fight to control research about their people.
