Background

​

To'aheedliinii exists primary as a group of people of Native American and mixed heritages, to care for the land and regularly participate in spiritual ceremonies in Montosa Canyon. The sweat lodge leader, Cayce Boone, established the sacred site through the American Indian Religious Freedom Act with the help of the U.S. Forest Services. Cayce follows the original instructions taught to him by his grandfather Dan Chee, a Dine (Navajo) Medicine Man. As a part of his Gradfather's vision, a sweat lodge and talking circle were built in the canyon with the idea of preserving ancient traditions and revitalizing the culture of First Nations' peoples.

History Of Montosa Canyon

The Hohokam were the first people to live in the immediate area. The Tohono O'odham knew the area as "U:gh Do'ag." The canyon was also an escape route for the Yaquis fleeing from Mexico. To the Yaquis this area is known as "The Door Way to the Child".
