Home of the Cliff Dwellers, near the Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico. Here in New Mexico are monuments of an ancient people; mute evidence of a race of long ago.
These mysterious cliff dwellings, like swallows’ nests, mark the faces of of the canyon walls for hundreds of miles in Northern new Mexico and Arizona. The tradition is that the Pueblo Indians came from the North, being driven inch by inch by a fierce foe. At last they reached the plateau of New Mexico, and built permanent fortress homes. With the advent of the Spaniards in 1540 these cliff dwellings even then were the subject of traditions centuries old.
