San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe

The San Juan Southern Paiutes have lived for the last several hundred years in territory east of the Grand Canyon, bounded by the San Juan and Colorado Rivers, with the Navajo and Hopi Tribes as their neighbors. They share a common heritage with the Southern Paiutes of Northern Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California.

The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe is known for its hand-woven traditional baskets which utilize age-old weaving techniques. The basket designs and materials have been passed down from generation to generation. Using the age-old techniques, the younger generation are weaving more contemporary designs.

There are no organized tours to any areas of the reservation at the present time. All questions regarding a visit should be directed to the Office of the President, please see Contacting the Tribe (below) for contact information.
