Navajo families continue to live and farm in the canyon they call Tsegi
This canyon is home to Dine' families who raise livestock, farm lands, and live here. People have lived in these canyons for nearly 5,000 years, which is longer than anyone has lived continuously on the Colorado Plateau. In this place called Tsegi, their homes and images tell us their stories. Today, the park and Navajo Nation work together to manage the rich cultural and natural resources.
he National Park Service (NPS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have completed an Air Tour Management Plan (ATMP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The plan prohibits commercial air tours over the park and within one-half mile outside its boundary to protect natural and cultural resources, sacred Tribal places, wilderness areas, and visitor experiences.
