The video was filmed and produced by Baerclaw Production of Phoenix.

The Anasazi – “Ancient Ones” – lived in the canyon for more than a thousand years and left around 1300 A.D. You will also learn about the many petroglyphs – carvings in the rock – and pictographs – drawings as well as Navajo history and the importance of the canyon to the Navajo people.
