Notes
  • Significance: The Crow Canyon Petroglyphs are found in the approximate center of Dinetah, the Navajo homeland. Dinetah was occupied during a time of social turmoil and hostility, beginning with the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 and ending about 100 years later. The revolt broke the Spanish hold on Pueblo villages along the northern Rio Grande. When the Spanish regained control in 1692, some Pueblo groups fled westward to seek refuge with the Navajo. This period is called the Gobernador Phase by archeologists. The Crow Canyon Petroglyphs are at the mouth of Crow Canyon on a south and east facing sandstone face. The panels of rock art were carved by the Navajo and the earlier Pueblo occupants of the area. The rock art includes hundreds of animal, human, and ceremonial figures. These figures represent elements from every day life, as well as holy people integral to the Navajo creation story, and symbols associated with religious ceremonies. Some of these figures are still used in Navajo sand paintings. Although it is almost impossible to date rock art sites, most of these panels were probably created at the same time that the pueblitos were built on the nearby mesas and adjacent canyons.
