I took my son to the USA (from England) in 2012. It was a rare holiday, due to funds so such a treat. The bestest EVER part was walking in and staying at the campsite by the Supai village. It was so amazing. Spending they day at the falls, my son said 'this is the best day of my life' I certainly agree. Thank you for letting us spend time in your beautiful place. At the top, talking to one of tribe members, by the 'pony express' he gave my son a horeshoe, he was delighted and still has it I think.
Wow, I'm from America and can't see havaspuai. Sounds like a crooked spiritual lie to me. I just enjoy nature. Not the nonsense people place on areas, so they can claim a God told them so. Then people can manipulate people with emotional garbage. I have my own spirit, but my spirit doesn't claim the earth. These people make BANK. The Native Americans like other religion has used the lie of religion to use and manipulate others. Unpopular opinion, but true. These people also strap down mules with the heaviest gear to traverse a canyon. So peaceful and animal loving! It's ridiculous.
Sometimes we just have to respect each others opinion and culture...based from the book history, American Indian was the First people in America. Thats why,It deserve to be preserve.
@@gardenwonder7023 i dont understand your strong reaction to my comment. And why cant you see Havasupai? I didnt mention spiritual, but i have to say, it certainly was a spiritual experience.
@@gardenwonder7023 okay? Just say you’re a racist and go... I live isn’t Arizona near the Grand Canyon it’s very real. Take your bullshit comments else where. Got me fucked up.
I was lucky enough to have lived and worked with the Havasupai for a couple years. It was a great experience and a beautiful place for sure . Nothing but respect for these people and good Job Hosting Mathew.
The People of the Blue Green Water (Havasupai) has been a sacred place I come to pray since 1974, when several parents of Las Vegas entrusted the YMCA to bring us to be with the Holy Spirit. Now we respect the place and visit when we can.
Man judgement is here, to those man who took your land soon theý realize that your people was actually chosen by GOD to take care of grand canyon... thank you for sharing god bless us all.

Traveled to Supai in 2007 and stayed in the lodge for 4 days, walking and swimming in the falls. Met Walter Synyella a decorated soldier in the Vietnam war. We helped him connect to Direc TV to watch sports etc. This experience was one of highlights of my life and my respect for these People of the Blue waters is immense! Never forget you Walter! God bless you! Dave
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt memories and experience from your visit to Supai. It's always incredible to hear stories from those who have spent time in the village, especially when they have formed meaningful connections with the Havasupai people. It sounds like your four days in Supai left a lasting impression, not only because of the breathtaking natural beauty of the area but also due to the deep connections you made, particularly with Walter Sinyella. Walter's service as a decorated soldier in the Vietnam War, combined with his life in Supai, reflects the strong sense of duty and resilience that many in the Havasupai community embody. Your act of helping him connect to DirecTV is such a touching reminder of how shared moments, even in small ways, can forge bonds across cultures and generations. I imagine being able to assist him in something as simple as watching sports was a meaningful gesture of friendship and connection. The People of the Blue Waters, as you so beautifully refer to them, have a profound connection to the land and their traditions, yet they welcome visitors with kindness and openness, creating unforgettable experiences for those who journey into their canyon. Swimming in the waterfalls and walking through the serene landscape of Supai must have been transformative, and it’s easy to understand why this experience became a highlight in your life. The combination of natural beauty and the chance to engage with such a rich cultural heritage is something that resonates deeply with visitors, just as it did with you. It's heartwarming to hear that you carry a deep respect for the Havasupai people, and that Walter made such a lasting impact on you. His legacy, and the warmth you felt during your visit, will no doubt continue to inspire others who learn about Supai and the incredible community that calls it home. May your memories continue to bring you peace and joy, and may Walter's memory remain as a beacon of the resilience and kindness of the Havasupai people. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope that Supai’s beauty and the connections you made there will always remain close to your heart. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
Thank you for reaching out again and for sharing your sincere wish to reconnect with Walter. It's clear that the connection you formed with him during your visit to Supai holds deep meaning for you, and it’s touching to see how much you still value that bond. While I can’t guarantee that I will be able to personally facilitate a direct connection with Walter, I understand how important this is to you. One possible step could be reaching out to the Havasupai Tribal Council or the Supai community directly, as they may have ways to help you reconnect. Since Supai is a close-knit community, they are often aware of how to contact long-time residents like Walter, especially those who have played such significant roles within the community. Additionally, considering the important role that Walter has played both as a Vietnam War veteran and a respected member of the Havasupai people, there might be veterans’ organizations or local networks that could assist you in finding more information about him. Sometimes, veterans' communities are well-connected and might offer ways to reconnect with those who have served. Your desire to reach out to Walter speaks to the impact he made on you during your time in Supai. Whether it was his warmth, stories, or the shared moments you had, it's clear that these experiences have stayed with you. I hope that through these avenues, you'll be able to find a way to reconnect with him and rekindle that special connection. We wish you the best of luck in reconnecting with Walter, and may your efforts lead to a meaningful reunion. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia @@davidrichards2113
Your heartfelt comment beautifully encapsulates the essential role of the village mayor in stewarding the well-being of Mother Earth, or our planet, and fostering environmental sustainability. The mayor's dedication to caring for the land reflects a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between human communities and the natural world. In many indigenous cultures, including those of the Havasupai people, there exists a deep reverence and respect for the Earth as a living, breathing entity deserving of love and care. The mayor's actions in caring for the land are not only a testament to this ethos but also serve as a powerful example for others to follow. By prioritizing environmental conservation and sustainable practices, the mayor not only ensures the health and vitality of the local ecosystem but also contributes to the broader global effort to address pressing environmental challenges, such as climate change and habitat loss. Moreover, the mayor's leadership in caring for Mother Earth extends beyond mere stewardship of the land; it embodies a commitment to future generations and a recognition of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve the planet for all life. Your recognition of the mayor's efforts in caring for Beautiful Mother Earth is both heartwarming and affirming. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and celebrating individuals who work tirelessly to safeguard our natural heritage and inspire others to join in the effort to create a more sustainable and harmonious world. Let us continue to support and uplift those who dedicate themselves to the noble cause of environmental stewardship. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
Thank you for sharing with us, I had the opportunity to visit the west rim, I haven't been able to get to the south rim or to your village but I'm looking forward to it, it was awesome and breath taking, I was very emotional being there. God bless you and your family
I went to the west rim of the Grand Canyon ( the only rim where a helicopter can land at the bottom of the canyon) where a boat was waiting for us. It was beyond majestic. I felt so emotional because the spirit of that place and it’s people can definitely be felt. Love Arizona landscape and appreciate the natives for keeping it rural, under developed, and not caving into western standards. I’m glad they still have dirt roads where only horses can pass through on, no cars. How it’s at one with nature and live harmoniously with the animals and reptiles.
This is an ancient and unique land. 1 thousand years is alot. It for yor decision not to give it away. We also have alot of ancient history here in greece Philisophocally you are a blessed native first americans olga
Thank you Dear One for Sharing your Homeland Sacred Place of Beauty!! I came there years ago and your Love was so open !!! Again thank you for sharing!!!!
I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the documentary video about Supai! We put a lot of effort into making it informative and visually engaging. The stunning beauty of Supai's landscapes is indeed one of its most captivating features. The vibrant colors, breathtaking waterfalls, and unique geological formations all contribute to its charm. We hope the video was able to convey some of the awe-inspiring beauty that Supai has to offer. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, feel free to ask!
Thank you for your comment. The sense of peace and quietness you’ve mentioned truly captures the essence of what makes Supai such a remarkable and serene place. Nestled within the depths of the Grand Canyon, the village of Supai offers a unique escape from the hustle and noise of the outside world, where the sounds of rushing waterfalls and the gentle breeze through the canyon walls create a natural symphony. The tranquility that defines Supai is not just a product of its stunning surroundings but also a reflection of the way of life of the Havasupai people, who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries. Their deep connection to the land, and the respect they hold for its resources, contribute to the preservation of the area’s untouched beauty. Visitors are often struck by the overwhelming sense of calm, where time seems to slow down, allowing for reflection and a deeper appreciation of the natural world. Experiencing this peace firsthand is a powerful reminder of the importance of places like Supai that offer a retreat from modern distractions, encouraging mindfulness and a return to simpler, more meaningful interactions with nature. The Havasupai community’s efforts to protect this peaceful environment are crucial not only for their own cultural preservation but also for the countless visitors who come seeking the quiet and solitude that Supai offers. We’re glad the documentary resonated with you and highlighted the peaceful spirit of Supai. It’s a reminder of how special these kinds of places are in a fast-paced world, and why they need to be protected for future generations to experience. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you continue to seek out and cherish the moments of peace and quiet that places like Supai provide. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
Thank you for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you found the documentary beautiful. Our goal was to capture and share the breathtaking beauty of Supai and the Grand Canyon, as well as to highlight the rich cultural heritage of the Havasupai people. Supai, nestled deep within the Grand Canyon, is one of the most remote and picturesque places in the United States. The stunning blue-green waters of Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Beaver Falls, combined with the lush vegetation and towering canyon walls, create a truly mesmerizing landscape. This natural beauty is not only visually striking but also holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Havasupai people. The documentary also aims to shed light on the Havasupai way of life, which is deeply intertwined with their environment. The Havasupai have lived in harmony with the land for centuries, practicing sustainable living and maintaining a profound respect for nature. Their traditions, stories, and daily practices reflect a deep connection to their homeland, and this connection is a key part of what makes their culture so unique and inspiring. By showcasing the beauty of Supai and the Havasupai culture, we hope to raise awareness about the importance of preserving such unique places and the cultures that inhabit them. It is through understanding and appreciation that we can support efforts to protect these treasures for future generations. Thank you again for your appreciation and support. We hope the documentary has inspired you to learn more about Supai, the Havasupai people, and the natural wonders of the Grand Canyon. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
The sentiment expressed in your comment is deeply moving and speaks to the resilience and strength of the Havasupai people. The documentary's narration beautifully captures the essence of their struggle and their deep connection to the land they call home. The issue of land rights and sovereignty is a complex and longstanding one for indigenous communities worldwide, including the Havasupai tribe. For centuries, indigenous peoples have faced challenges to their land and resources, often resulting in displacement, loss of cultural heritage, and economic marginalization. The Havasupai people's fight for their rights to reclaim their ancestral land is a testament to their bravery and determination. Their struggle is not just about legal ownership but also about preserving their cultural identity, heritage, and way of life. It's a fight for justice and recognition of their inherent rights as indigenous peoples. Supporting indigenous land rights is crucial for upholding principles of justice, equality, and respect for diverse cultures. It requires acknowledging historical injustices, engaging in meaningful dialogue, and advocating for policies that empower indigenous communities to regain control over their territories and resources. As we reflect on the challenges faced by the Havasupai people, let us also recognize their resilience, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to protecting their land and preserving their cultural heritage. May their struggle inspire greater awareness, solidarity, and action towards achieving justice and reconciliation for indigenous peoples everywhere. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
Sooooo Majestic. I would love to visit and learn about your heritage. Thank you for sharing!!! And information about reservations would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
I know with all my heart that I am your sister. We are all Gods' children 🙏❤ ! But I have a very strong soulful pull to the Native American...I have dreams and awaken dreams that I am sure of it...I could tell you stuff all day long but..thank for the great video
That's fantastic to hear! Your commitment to keeping the Grand Canyon's trails clean and pristine is truly commendable. Hiking in such a majestic and awe-inspiring location is a privilege, and taking steps to preserve its natural beauty is a responsibility that benefits everyone. By bringing trash bags and actively working to clean up the trails, you are contributing to the preservation of this incredible natural wonder. Your actions help to ensure that the Grand Canyon remains a beautiful and enjoyable place for all visitors, as well as a safe and healthy environment for the wildlife that call it home. Moreover, your proactive approach sets a powerful example for others. When fellow hikers see you taking the initiative to pick up trash, it can inspire them to do the same. This ripple effect can lead to a broader culture of respect and care for our natural spaces. Maintaining the cleanliness of trails is essential for several reasons. It helps to protect the delicate ecosystems from pollution, prevents harm to wildlife, and enhances the overall experience for everyone who visits. The Grand Canyon, with its breathtaking vistas and rich biodiversity, is a treasure that deserves our utmost respect and care. Thank you for your dedication to preserving the beauty of the Grand Canyon. Your efforts make a significant difference, and they highlight the importance of individual actions in the collective effort to protect our natural heritage. Enjoy your hike, and may your journey be filled with awe, inspiration, and a sense of accomplishment knowing that you are helping to keep the Grand Canyon as magnificent as ever. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
WOW! 3 years since I commented?. I TRULY HOPE & PRAY...UR BEAUTIFUL HOME IN THE CANYONS...HAVE REMAINED, AS SUCH. Our Mother Earth is being laid bare... SOoo selfishly DISrespected.!! All in the name of progress.. ( B. S.) HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.... WARs...HATE...
Thank you for the beautiful tour of your land. I can't wait to make a trip to visit. Me and my partner would love to be able to camp and hike around. Are you taking any reservations? Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video! However, I don't know horses that well but those horses looked terribly skinny... are they not able to feed them enough or what? I've never seen a horse with sunken eyes like that! Very sad. Hopefully they'll be able to feed them more soon!
Thank you for your kind words and support! We're grateful for the opportunity to share the story of the Havasupai Tribe in Supai, Arizona. Their culture and the stunning landscape are truly remarkable. Cheers, Domenico.
Having visited myself, I am still haunted by the horrors to horses and mules that I witnessed here in 2015. Starving animals with open infected wounds from carrying packs while they are nothing but skin and bones. You talk about taking care of the land and water but what about the horses that provide for you?
Sooooo, a devastated people who like so many Native Americans live off of the land, plants, and harvests for themselves, families, elders etc, land that undoubtedly cannot grow oats, grains, in large enough quantities ( think grass). Hay, legumes or other herbaceous plants that have been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal fodder, either for large grazing animals raised as livestock, such as cattle, HORSES, goats, and sheep, or for smaller domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs..."Haying" or "doing hay" involves a multiple step process: "cutting", drying or "curing", raking, processing, and storing. (THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA). Would you be kind enough, helpful enough, unselfish enough, to help Cultivate, supply, the grass, assure that there will be no floods, bring in the back-hoe, the dozer all the fertilizer, keep the sun at a temperature that is conducive for growth, make sure no insects or wild animals have access, build the necessary storage facilities, be able to monitor soil densities and nutrients that will enable all vegetation to thrive, ensure that none of the hay has any blight, also that the rainss no longer bring flooding! AND IF YOU SIR/MA'AM HAVE THESE NEEDFUL ABILITIES, SKILLS, FINANCES... PLEASE BE THE SOLUTION TO AN OBVIOUS DILEMMA, THAT AWAITS YOUR SOLVING❤ The World needs your kind expertise.
I am a bow maker and have always researched havasupai bows and arrows but can never find a source for how they made them, what wood was used ? Dimensions of the bow and arrow, ect
Hi @JohnyGoodman regarding your question you can check the official website of Supai theofficialhavasupaitribe.com/ If you don't find the answer you could send an email. Cheers, Domenico.
You know what's very interesting about this is the whole time I thought he had black war face painting on until they zoomed in and it was the shadow of the sunglasses......
Indigenous peoples have been diligent stewards of the land for thousands of years; caring for this special beauty. We’ve managed to nearly ruin the whole damn planet since the industrial revolution…time to give the land back to the proper stewards!!!!
I enjoyed this very much. I am not Native American but I came to work on the CRIT Reservation almost 2 years ago. My love and prayers go up for all to live in peace, love this land, and each other. Blessings to you.
Speechless at the Beauty of theRock Colors, the Canyons, the Watefalls etc.etc. THE most inspirational to me, is the strength, wisdom, beauty @ " pride ".(.the GOOD kind) of the Havasupai ppl.
I visited the west Rim Grand Canyon in Mohave county. If you go down deep enough in the canyons, there was a cliff house, literally built on the side of the cliff. I thought they only constructed them in Colorado and New Mexico. The place was so remote and vast, no person has explored it in dept because it’s just too rugged. I can’t wait to go back. I felt a presence of peace and spiritual when I went
No one has more right to exclaim the injustices that have been perpotrated against a people than do the Native Americans not just the Supai but all nations ! My apologies for what my people have done in the past. Not that it remedies the atrocities that we have done but just to let you know there are those in this world that recognize these things. It is a time of shame when these things occurred and it will not be forgotten . Thank you for your kindness and service you have rendered to Mother Earth and my hopes that Grandfather will bless or continue to bless you in many ways!
Hey Matt remember me Farron Joseyesva from our other reservation Phoenix Indian High School?? Its been a very long time since I've seen you brother. Sure do miss all of you brother. I truly hope we all get to see each other's again someday. I love you all brother. Take good care of yourself and your people. Lolmaii kwa-KWAII MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
One of my favorite places. Don't stray from the trail. I did. Got lost once it got dark. Then it got freaky. There are Spirit beings up in those walls. Nobody hears you and the helicopters can't see you. It took me 3 days to get out. I saw a little boy who waved at me from a ledge above the one I was stuck on. I call him "Tic Tic" because that's all he said. He'd walk way in front of me, pointing out the way and saying, "Tic Tic Tic Tic Tic." and I followed him up this crazy old trail. I
It is the origion of all the people. He said so. So, the white man came back to his place of origion. He said it, the land, is theirs place of origion so it is their land. Its the place of origion for the white man, he said so. The white man came home. He said it would happen in the feture. It happened!
Thank you for sharing this story. I’m visiting in November and was very interested in learning about the spiritual side of havasupai, mainly because I went to the Grand Canyon last September and felt a lot of spiritual energy there, some good and some bad.
I found this video because I just heard an interview on NPR a few minutes ago about this tribe. Check it out if you haven't already, really good. And enjoy your visit!
I've was privileged to visit there once. It was amazing. May you all return to your homelands. I know this for sure. Indigenous people have always been here, and will always be here ❤
When I clicked on this video I didn’t expect to watch it all the way through. But it held my attention so well that I did! I found it to be extremely interesting to listen and watch (great cinematography,, by rhe way), and the gentleman narrating it does an excellent job. Thank you!
Long ago I dated a fellow who had a picture of himself swinging off that rope, would have been early 80s. He knew he was adopted, but at the time didn't know his birth parents were from the Havasupai reservation. He was adopted as an infant, was born then raised in the Los Angeles area. He said as a young teen going swimming at the falls felt so meaningful (and him not knowing his ties to the land at the time.)
This is the deepest place i have ever been to. Even Putesoy´s words can´t do it justice. Just go there and see for yourself, that this is not the usual spiritual talk, but an attempt to describe a truely sacred place. Down there, you might not know for sure if you are dreaming or waking. You might even hear voices calling your name. If there is any real place like Lothlorien, this is it. Or was i just so stoned all the time? I only took a puff here and there, it used to be pretty common back in 1994. Anyway, the canyon must be protected from destruction until technical progress allows us to stop and undo environmental mayhem. This place needs to be under federal protection for the while. The Havasupai experience is like reliving a long forgotten view of the world, dating way back to times of childhood, when we were one with the moment, love or fear undimmed. I will never forget this one week down there which changed my thinking forever. These people carry a heritage lasting from like the stone age which can not be conveyed by any book. Nor are there words to convey the magnitude of a real Havasupai experience for a normal white man like me.
Hi @ChewieOne. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. And yes, Supai is a truely sacred place. Supai is in our hearts, in our minds, in our spirit. Happy to have made you relive a beautiful story from your past.
I have a lot of respect for my family I am Native American Cherokee in Blackfoot Indian I love all Native American tribes we are brothers and sisters around the world
Hd on wait just a minute. So technically by the havasupai Nation and there history all men were born and created on that land that they're on? Cool that means I'm indigenous yaaaaaay
Grand Canyon owes its distinctive shape to the different rock layers in the canyon walls. Each responds to erosion in a different way: some form slopes, some form cliffs, some erode more quickly than others. The vivid colors of many of these layers are due mainly to trace amounts of various minerals. Most contain iron, which imparts subtle hues of red, yellow, and green to the canyon walls. "The rocks are chiefly variegated shades of beautiful colors -creamy orange above, then bright vermilion, and below, purple and chocolate beds, with green and yellow sands." With words like these, Major John Wesley Powell steered his Colorado River Journal in the direction of literature. We would call a good story like his 1869 Grand Canyon adventure a 'colorful yarn'. The faint suggestion of falsehood in that phrase is telling, though -there has never been an accurate way to determine if we all see the same thing. The existence of color blindness suggests that there may be slight differences in everyone's vision.
The documentary showcases the extraordinary beauty and vitality of Supai, portraying it as a haven of natural health and wellness. The lush landscapes, vibrant waterfalls, and breathtaking vistas all contribute to the overall sense of well-being that permeates the region. Supai's unique ecosystem not only provides a visually stunning backdrop but also emphasizes the importance of environmental conservation. The pristine surroundings underscore the delicate balance that exists in maintaining a healthy and thriving natural environment. As we immerse ourselves in the documentary's portrayal of Supai, it becomes clear that this is more than just a location-it's a testament to the resilience of nature and the need for responsible stewardship. Preserving such places ensures not only their longevity but also the continued well-being of the diverse plant and animal life that calls Supai home. In appreciating the "nice, healthy place" captured in the documentary, we are reminded of the intrinsic connection between a thriving environment and our own physical and mental well-being. It serves as an inspiration to cherish and protect these natural wonders for future generations, fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and the environment. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia
Such a sacred place. I was blessed to go there in 1975 with my boyfriend. We just drove to end of the road and started walking and had no idea it was a 10 hour hike tru the dry river bed. We hiked with flash light and came out into the csnyon around 1 am.and threw sleeping bag on side of the trail and fell asleep. We shinned flashlight in the stream and saw hour it was beautiful blue green water. We were woke up by ground rummbling and several horses flew by us...my boyfried said whats that and i looked up and saw a diamond shaoed craft with colored lights on it fly over the canyon. We camped forn2 days and we were only ones there..We were vegetarians and squirrels ate our food. Some other people showed up and shared there food with us...it was amazing to swim in the water by the falls...i will never forget the majical experience i had so long ago. It is blessed land and im grateful the beautiful native indians are there...thank you for this video and sharing what it is like...💖💖💖.
Hi @BeverlyPoehlman thank you for your valuable comment and for sharing your story which is very similar to ours, especially to reach Supai :-) We are happy that our documentaries awaken such positive memories. Supai will remain forever in our hearts. A hug, Domenico.
The hopi are blessed as you are they are giving the best treaty how could they accept the honor for a title guardians of the grand canyon this man know lots and the thing that's being done there is also wrong the hopi have fallen just as the rest he doesn't even know he is just as sick
