| description | Since the 1990s, eleven Native American populations that were removed from Grand Canyon National Park during its creation have been renegotiating their position on the site. This contribution describes the ambivalent reconfiguration of the power relations underlying the management of the national park, through a description of their materialisation on the site. To this end, it shows how, through a set of regulations, arrangements, and representative and discursive practices, the federal agency responsible for the management of US national parks, the NPS, shapes a certain understanding of the Grand Canyon. The author shows how, in addition to the construction of a nature external to humans, the “cultures” of Native Americans are made into tourism. This nature-culture dichotomy has two opposite effects: on the one hand, it gives Native Americans a stand in the national park, while on the other hand, it keeps them in a peripheral position relative to the NPS. |
