Hyatt Place Page/Lake Powell Complimentary cultural experiences
From the comfort of Hyatt Place Page/Lake Powell’s cozy accommodations, guests can enjoy three Navajo culture workshops, which include:
- Navajo Storytelling and Songs with Eli Secody
On select days, renowned Navajo community leader Eli Secody, who has lived his entire life in the Navajo Nation, shares the rich oral traditions of his culture through lively storytelling accompanied by traditional songs and drumming.
Drawing from stories and folklore passed down through generations, Secody offers insight into the Navajo people’s harmonious living with the land and wildlife, offering guests a meaningful understanding and appreciation of local heritage.
- Dreamcatcher Workshop with Pearl Seaton
On select days, local Navajo weaver Pearl Seaton leads an intimate one-hour workshop where guests can learn to craft traditional dreamcatchers, offering a hands-on opportunity to connect with the Navajo culture.
Throughout the class, discover the purpose and meaning of dreamcatchers and hear firsthand stories from Seaton’s childhood and memories of her grandparents teaching her to make the Indigenous symbol. Limited to 15 participants, signups are available upon check-in at the hotel’s front desk. Participants are recommended to be at least 10 years old.

Every Saturday from 2-6 p.m., through Nov. 30, the hotel hosts a Native American Jewelry Expo featuring local artisans selling authentic, handmade pieces. Guests will have the chance to browse unique jewelry crafted by local Indigenous artists, providing a meaningful way to support the community while taking home a one-of-a-kind memento.
Soaring above some of the most sought-after natural attractions
Both Native American-owned Rainbow Bridge Air Tour and Antelope Air have partnered to offer visitors a 45-minute aerial journey that goes beyond the rare vantage point of Rainbow Bridge and includes 360-degree views of Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam, Wahweap Marina, Castle Rock and Last Chance Bay. Soaring the skies above Lake Powell’s sapphire-blue waters and winding shoreline, guests also take-in the striking formations of Gunsight Butte, Rock Creek and Cookie Jar Butte.
