Cliff Dwellings

Ancient Native Americans (Puebloans, ancestors of the Hopi) constructed homes and tribal buildings in the alcoves, or caves, that are scattered around the Canyon de Chelly. When these structures were inhabited, the valley floor was much closer to the level of the buildings, but centuries of erosion have left them suspended high above the canyon floor.
