Chaco Canyon was a
major center of ancestral Puebloan culture between AD 850 and 1250. It was a hub
of ceremony, trade, and administration for the prehistoric Four Corners area -
unlike anything before or since.
Chaco is
remarkable for its monumental public and ceremonial buildings, and its
distinctive architecture. To construct the buildings, along with the
associated Chacoan roads, ramps, dams, and mounds, required a great deal
of well organized and skillful planning, designing, resource gathering,
and construction. The Chacoan people combined pre-planned architectural
designs, astronomical alignments, geometry, landscaping, and engineering
to create an ancient urban center of spectacular public architecture - one
that still amazes and inspires us a thousand years later.
The Chacoan
cultural sites are fragile and irreplaceable and represent a significant part of
America's cultural heritage. The sites are part of the sacred homeland of Pueblo
Indian peoples of New Mexico, the Hopi Indians of Arizona, and the Navajo
Indians of the Southwest, all of whom continue to respect and honor them.
