PHOENIX — It's uncertain when American Indians living at the bottom of the Grand Canyon will be able to return home as thunderstorms continued to soak a region where flooding forced the evacuation of scores of people, authorities said Monday.

Helicopters on Monday took turns ferrying 85 people out of the Havasupai Tribe's village of Supai, about 2,300 feet below the Canyon rim, said Gerry Blair, a spokesman for the Coconino County Sheriff's Department. Rescuers transported another 170 people out of Supai Canyon on Sunday.

Village residents asked for extra supplies Monday, but Blair said authorities weren't sure yet what to deliver. It's unclear how much Supai will need, because many residents are choosing to leave the village, and authorities don't know how long it will take to reopen hiking trails to the public.

"There's nobody down there in dire straits because they don't have any food or water right now," he said.

Gov. Janet Napolitano toured the flood-damage area and met with Havasupai leaders Monday. She said afterward that crews must restore a pack trail that is used to deliver mail, food and other supplies to the village. Part of the trail is still underwater, she said.

Meanwhile, authorities continued to search for about 11 campers and tourists who remained unaccounted for, Blair said. He said it's possible those people might have already left, but authorities would assume they were still in the Canyon until that could be determined.

"We believe we got all the tourists and all the hikers out of there," Blair said.

Supai is extremely remote. It's an eight-mile hike from the nearest parking lot, dropping straight down on a winding Canyon trail. The community is the only one in the United States where the mail is delivered by mule.
