Publisher's Note Visiting Canyon de Chelly for the first time is a journey back in time. Because of the protection of the canyon itself, the preservation of the "houses beneath the rock" gives visitors a sense of a community soon to return to prepare their evening meal. The majesty of the landscape at Canyon de Chelly and the Navajo National Monument brings visitors back again and again. Archaeologists have collected well-preserved examples of basketry, textiles, hides, wooden and bone implements, wild plant and animal foods from the cliff dwellings to develop a better understanding of the Anasazi who once inhabited the area. For anyone interested in a civilization that built, lived and knew the land centuries before the presence of European settlers.
