Developers who call themselves Confluence Partners, aka Fulcrum Group, want to build a gondola tram on the Navajo Nation side of the Grand Canyon, at the confluence, leading down to the rivers. They call their proposal the Escalade Project.

They also want to build a tourist resort that would bring thousands of visitors to the area reserved for traditional sheepherding, and holds sites sacred to many American Indian tribes, ranging from Hopi, to Zuni, to Navajo, Pueblo, and more.

Save the Confluence is a grass-roots organization seeking to protect the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado rivers from developers. It represents hundreds of Navajo families who have lived traditionally on the land for centuries. The organization also has the backing from many Navajo Chapters, the Diné Medicine Man association, the Hopi Nation, the Zuni Nation, the All Indian Pueblo Council, and environmental-protection organizations throughout the United States.
