Leaders of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona passed a resolution that opposes a proposed
Navajo Nation tourist attraction.
Hopi Chairman Herman G. Honanie said the
Grand Canyon Escalade, a project that includes a tramway to carry tourists to the floor of the
Grand Canyon National
Park, poses a threat to sacred sites.
"[I]t will significantly and forever adversely impact Hopi sacred places to which Hopis have aboriginal title and use," Honanie told Lake Powell Life.
Environmental groups are also opposing the project.
