About 85 members of the
Havasupai Tribe who were evacuated from the
Grand Canyon on Sunday aren't able to return home due to ongoing threats of flooding.
The tribal members were evacuated from the village of Supai, on the bottom of the Grand Canyon, after an earthen dam broke. No injuries were reported but some homes have reportedly been lost.
The evacuees are now being housed by the Hualapai Tribe.
