Keams Canyon

Keams Canyon lies in its namesake canyon on the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona, and its position near First Mesa has long connected it with the region’s mesa communities. The settlement stands on the Colorado Plateau, where dry uplands and sandstone landforms shape the surrounding country. Its English name recalls Thomas Varker Keam, who established a trading post here in 1874; it became associated with trade in Hopi pottery and other arts. First Mesa, home to the Hopi villages of Walpi, Sichomovi and Hano, is nearby, and visits should follow local guidance and community rules.
