Known for the pueblos carved into the sandstone cliffs, these ruins also contain several sets of ancient pictographs and petroglyphs, which are estimated to be between by Mfield, Matthew Field, http 3,000 and 6,000 years old. One of Sedona's largest ruins, Palatki, which ://www.photography.mattfield. translates to 'red house' in the Hopi language, consists of two separate com pueblo dwellings.

  • 2017 Arizona Sinagua and Lots More Rimrock House
    2017 Arizona Sinagua and Lots More Rimrock House This time we stayed in a house that was owned and decorated by an artist who works with metal, particularly iron. His pieces were located within and without his house. Moreover, he was quite addicted to the color red, as the pictures below illustrate. Luisa Wetherill Smoki Museum, Prescott, AZ We drove to Prescott to visit with Harvey Leake, whom we had met on the Wetherill tour two years ago. He greeted us at his charming octagonal home and showed us his extensive collection of documents and memorabilia of the Wetherill family. Harvey took us to the Smoki Museum, where he is a trustee, to see the exhibit about his great-grandmother, Luisa Wade Wetherill, for which he had provided the photographs and other data. Luisa Wade married John Wetherill in 1896 and thereafter they managed a series of trading posts, including at Oljato, UT, in what was later to be called Monument Valley. They eventually ended up with the trading post at Kayenta, AZ, in the heart of the Navajo Nation. Luisa learned Navajo and spoke it fluently. In fact, Navajos named her Asthon Sosi, meaning “Slim Woman,” because she was so completely immersed into Navajo life and culture. Harvey Leake discovered in her papers a manuscript, which he published, in which she had translated and inscribed the reminiscences of a Navajo man named Wolfkiller. The exhibit was open from January 14 to July 5, 2017. 27th Annual Zuni Festival of Arts & Culture The Zuni Festival is one of the Native American festivals conducted by the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff.
