About Sites of Dinétah | Crow Canyon

The Crow Canyon Petroglyphs site is located in the heart of Dinétah—the ancestral homeland of the Navajo, or Nihokaa’ Diné people. The red sandstone walls with petroglyphs and archaeological sites in this picturesque valley are a living testament to the Navajo people's enduring resilience and spiritual beliefs. This online tour was developed in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management and is designed to be an educational resource sharing how the petroglyphs at Crow Canyon connect to living traditions through video interviews with Navajo experts.
