Canyon de Chelly
The Story of Its Ruins and People (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Canyon De Chelly: The Story of Its Ruins and People Canyon de Chelly National Monu ment is located in the red rock country of northeastern Arizona's high plateau, near the center of the Navajo Indian Reservation. Included in its 131 square miles are three spectacular canyons Canyon de Chelly, Canyon del Muerto, and Monument Canyon and many ruins of long-deserted villages. Perched in alcoves and on high ledges along the sheer walled canyons, these villages are evidence of man's ability to adjust to a difficult environment, using bare hands, simple stone age tools, and his own ingenuity. They stand as enduring monuments to the culture of the ancestors of the present-day Pueblo Indians of the southwestern United States.
