Tribal capital Peach Springs has the only road leading into the Grand Canyon and an economy surrounding tourism, the arts, outdoor recreation, and cattle ranching.

The available content is oriented toward practical resources rather than a dedicated narrative profile for the tribe. The page includes sections on close menu, More info, Dismiss, High Contrast, and Yellow Links.
