Wupatki National Monument

Well fed, we toured Wupatki National Monument. The ruins were photographic as you can see, but we were disturbed by the fact that the Park Service kicked out the last residents in this area in the early sixties after promising them they could stay until they died. It seemed they didn’t have deeds to prove their people had "owned" this land for over 800 years. A display in the Visitor’s Center has letters written as recently as 2005 from Native People wanting to move back.
