The area’s first residents were the Ancestral Puebloans, also known as Anasazi. These tribes are primarily remembered for the impressive cliff dwellings constructed on the canyon floor but often on small ledges high above the ground. At some point, the Anasazi mysteriously disappeared from the region, later “replaced” by Native Americans from the Hopi tribe who cultivated the canyon floor only to eventually leave the area in favor of more defendable dwellings on mesa tops.
The Navajo moved into the canyon after the Hopi, as they settled the Southwest between the four sacred mountains. In the 19th century, the canyon’s peace was shattered by bloody skirmishes with invading Spanish and, later, American forces. The Navajo were eventually forced to surrender and leave their homes, culminating in the traumatic Long Walk to New Mexico in 1864. Finally, in 1868, peace was achieved, and the Navajo returned to their lands in Arizona.
