From 1150 to 1550 CE the Ancestral Pueblo people called this area home and did much of their farming here. On these dry mesas, creative water saving techniques were used to survive in this arid landscape. This area holds deep spiritual and cultural connections to today's Pueblo communities. Please treat it with the respect it deserves.
