Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Canyon De Chelly National Monument is an 83,840 acre area that is one of the longest continuously inhabited places in North America: people have lived here for almost 5,000 years. Located within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation, it was established as a part of the National Park Service in 1931 although none of the land is owned by the U.S. Federal Government.

The area is dually managed by the Navajo people and the National Park Service. There are ruins here of the Anasazi, or Ancient Pueblo Peoples, as well as the Navajo people. The monument is made up of three canyons including their rims and floors: the de Chelly, the del Muerto, and the Monument.
