The first recorded sighting of the Grand Canyon by a European was in 1540, GarcÃa López de Cárdenas from Spain.[1] The first scientific expedition to the canyon was led by U.S. Major John Wesley Powell in the late 1860s. Powell referred to the sedimentary rock units exposed in the canyon as "leaves in a great story book." Long before that, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon walls.

The Native Americans that lived in the area.
Maybe you need to ask who mapped it first for European interest.
