Earth+Bone, Part 7: Navajo Torn Over Grand Canyon Tourist Attraction

Confluence
Laurel Morales
The confluence, or the place where the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers meet, is considered sacred to many and an opportunity for economic development to others.

The Dakota Access Pipeline has brought a megaphone to the battle between what tribes believe to be sacred and what westerners consider fair game all across the United States. KJZZ’s Fronteras Desk Correspondent Laurel Morales spent months digging deeper into this pervasive issue here in the Southwest to produce this series Earth+Bone.


Laurel Morales was a Fronteras Desk senior field correspondent in Flagstaff from 2011 to 2020.
