After a 19-0 vote by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names and a formal request for the name change earlier this year from the Havasupai tribe, the popular destination will be renamed Havasupai Gardens, NPS said.
In 1928, the last tribal resident, “Captain Burro, was forcibly removed,” according to a Nov. 21 news release from the park service. The land was also named Indian Garden.Now, after a 19-0 vote by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names and a formal request for the name change earlier this year from the Havasupai tribe, the popular destination will be renamed Havasupai Gardens, NPS said.
Ed Keable, Grand Canyon National Park’s superintendent, said the renaming “is long overdue,” according to the release. For generations, the Burro family, who later changed their name to Tilousi, fought “to protect the history and culture of the Havasupai people,” the release said. Even after being forced from the land, the Havasupai people “continued to live and work within Grand Canyon National park,” the release said.
