The TWG will be traditionally associated with Hualapai environmental conservation and education, with living plant collections specifically chose by Hualapai Elders to illustrate plant use. This project is an outward expression of that knowledge and will demonstrate the between cultural landscapes and Hualapai social complexity from the past, through the present and into the future, and will benefit Hualapai as well as visitors to Peach Springs and that the Hualapai community’s contribution is essential and key in choosing ad designing the Walkway’s interpretive signage, landscape, layout, plaques, and kiosk public education materials about Hualapai culture, plant resources and history.
