The Pictographs of Canyon de Chelly
There are countless Pictographs (painting on rock) and Petroglyphs (pecking on rock) in Canyon de Chelly.
The history of the peoples in the canyon goes back thousands of years and the images remain to this day high up on the Canyon walls.
The stories behind some of the pictographs are fascinating.
The photo above shows a beautiful canvas of people on horses.
It helps to set the time frame because horses came with the Spanish.
I cannot tell the story behind this pictograph as it is a story that should be told only by a Navajo in the Canyon!
