• Bandelier National Monument "The ancestors of modern Pueblo people built thriving communities in the area called Bandelier about 600 years ago. Several thousand ancestral Pueblo dwellings are found among the pink mesas and sheer-walled canyons. The best-known archeological sites, in Frijoles Canyon near the Visitor Center, were inhabited from the 1100s into the mid-1500s, and earlier groups had used the area for thousands of years. Modern pueblo people maintain strong ties to this area that is their homeland."
