## Resource

While America was declaring independence in 1776, in Utah, a quiet but pivotal moment was unfolding: Spanish missionaries guided by Indigenous tribes navigated Spanish Fork Canyon on the historic Domínguez–Escalante Expedition. Their journey, crucial for finding a route to California, relied entirely on local knowledge—showing how Indigenous peoples shaped early exploration. This overlooked chapter is honored in the Utah Capitol’s ceiling art, reminding us that history unfolds in parallel, complex stories across the continent.
