Shaman Panel, Grand Canyon National Park

Located deep within Tuckup Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park, the Shaman Panel is one of the most remarkable examples of ancient pictograph art in the canyon. The panel features tall standing human-like figures with what appear to be outfits or regalia, silhouettes of animals, and other geometric designs in colored pigments on the redwall limestone wall.

These panels are irreplaceable and belong to the cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the Southwest. They must be treated with complete reverence — no touching, no chalking, no photography with flash. It is deeply disheartening that modern vandals have left their names near this sacred art. If you encounter any rock art in the Grand Canyon or anywhere else, please leave it exactly as you found it and report any vandalism to the National Park Service.
