Description
We visited in 2018, and toured via jeep with a local Navajo guide. We had a lovely day and a very informative tour. This petroglyph shows what may be the predecessor to Kokopelli. The folks who drew these petroglyphs may not have been Navajo ancestors as the Navajo were late arrivals to this area.
According to Wikipedia, Canyon de Chelly National Monument (/dəˈʃeɪ/ də-SHAY) was established on April 1, 1931, as a unit of the National Park Service. Located in northeastern Arizona, it is within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation and lies in the Four Corners region. Reflecting one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America, it preserves ruins of the indigenous tribes that lived in the area, from the Ancestral Puebloans (formerly known as Anasazi) to the Navajo. The monument covers 83,840 acres (131 sq mi; 339 km2) and encompasses the floors and rims of the three major canyons: de Chelly, del Muerto, and Monument.
