It was an honor to sit down with Jason Nez! Jason is a Fire Archeologist at Grand Canyon National Park and is a part of Navajo Nation.

In our conversation we discussed the crucial need for visitor education pertaining to indigenous peoples and their long, important history that exists in the Grand Canyon.

We also discussed Jason’s role in the park as a Fire Archeologist and the important decisions he has to make in order to keep the park healthy and to preserve some of the most important archeological sites within the canyon.
