If These Walls Could Talk…

“They would tell you that for nearly 5,000 years, people have lived in these canyons – longer than anyone has lived uninterrupted anywhere on the Colorado Plateau. Their homes and images tell us their stories. Today, Navajo families make their homes, raise livestock, and farm the lands in the canyon.”

So goes the National Parks description. Well it’s pretty much the case if a little simplistic. Every displaced society has problems and successive generations seem to accumulate more tribulations. That aside we came to see the landscape and take a peek at the past. It was worth the drive.
