Sage — a plant used by some Indigenous communities for healing ceremonies — is a common site in the suites and spas of Amangiri, the exclusive luxury resort in southern Utah. Some argue the practice of burning sage has become 'cherry-picked' by the wellness industries 'to suit non-Natives.'
Timothy Begay, the Navajo cultural specialist at the, said medicinal items such as white sage “are only effective if they are administered with songs and prayers.”
“Some people use some sage, some people never use it. Each group really thinks about these things differently,” said LaPier, who is a writer, ethnobotanist and professor of environmental history at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “What the Blackfeet use it for is to purify yourself as a human, to purify objects that you might be using before you pray or talk to the divine.”
Marques Johnson, a member of Navajo Nation and a supervisor who helps lead cultural programming at Amangiri, speaks with The Salt Lake Tribune, at the Amangiri resort near Big Water, Utah, on Wednesday, July 12, 2023. “Everyone’s out to make some money here in some way or another,” Johnson said. “We’re in a whole different level of this industry. This is a completely different segment, how we interact, how we communicate, the attention to detail, just everything that we do.”of the population of Page identifies as American Indian, according to U.S. Census data. Johnson said the mesas surrounding Amangiri were his childhood playground, long before the resort opened in 2009.
