| Description |
English: View in Kiva Room of visitor information desk, GCA donation station, circular beamed ceiling, and Hopi Shields on walls.
[Brown rugged beams create circular celling above the large picture window behind the visitor information desk; a visitor is standing looking at information on top of the desk; Two Hopi colorful shields are attached to sconces mounted on walls either side of window.] The Grand Canyon Historical Society [GCHS] held the 4th Grand Canyon History Symposium on the South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, on November 4-6, 2016. As one of the many events and presentations held during the 4th Grand Canyon History Symposium, was Desert View Watchtower Tour. Jan Balsom, Deputy Chief of Science and Resource Management, shared her knowledge about the construction of the Desert View Watchtower, including its architect, Mary Colter and her vision, and of Hopi artist Fred Kabotie who painted the famous murals in the tower. GCHS BACKGROUND: Since January 2002, there have been four history symposia, bringing together historians, witnesses to history, park employees, and others with a passion for Grand Canyon history. The presentations from the first three symposiums were assembled into a collection of essays. It is the Grand Canyon Historical Society’s intent to publish the proceedings from this fourth symposium.
