- Every November, Grand Canyon Community members sponsor a special performance for Native American Heritage Month. This year’s performance features the Apache Crown Dancers.
- The Crown Dance is a ceremonial dance that "celebrates ancestors, community, and traditions while honoring gifts from the Creator." The dancers embody the Gaan (Mountain Spirits), wearing masks and ornate wooden crowns. Each of the 5 dancers has a specific role and the ceremony is believed to bring good fortune and health to the community.
