Ancient Places and
New Ones
Where ever you go and
what ever you do in land of The People, you sense the
presence of those who preceded in ancient times as well as
the presence of The People today who live in the deserts
and in the canyons of their vast land.
Early people recorded
their migrations for all to see, and architecture that
causes one to pause in silence and to think of those
people.
The
sheer cliffs are emblazoned with the writings and the
messages of the ancient people. Sometimes you can
get an idea of how old or how young these petroglyphs and
pictographs are. The one to the right is fairly
recent, meaning that contact with the whites and the horse
had been made.
 The
hands of time are forever embedded in the red rock faces,
as are the flute player Kokopelli who is in a relaxed mood
in the rock art shown here.
Take a trip back in
time
Ancient architecture
abounds through the deep red canyons, architectural
wonders that literally leave you breathless.
Places Today
Oh, sure there are
plenty of houses in Native America today. But there
continues to be the ever present signs of an enduring and
beautiful culture.
Take just a minute
here to visit a couple of galleries th at
you are sure to enjoy.
"Prayers and Builders" takes you inside of
an ancient Kiva.
"Mysteries"
simply makes you pause and wonder. Whether villages
of today, or villages of the ancients, The People will
make you pause, and wonder.
