The Sinagua (Spanish - "Without Water"), the Anasazi (Navajo - "Ancient Enemy") the Mogollon (Spanish - "Hanger-on" or "Sponger") and the Hohokam (Pima - "Vanished Ones"). These ancient peoples are often referred to as Indian tribes that "mysteriously disappeard" over the centuries. In fact, they are actually the ancestors of many of the tribes that currently inhabit Arizona today, such as the traditional Hopi Tribe and Nation. The most prominent of these ancient, original Native American Indians are the Sinagua and Anasazi, who inhabited many of the areas in and around Sedona, Arizona. Sedona was such a hot spot for these ancient people to visit and live, that literally thousands of archeological and Indian Ruin sites have been uncovered in and around Sedona, Arizona.

To really understand and appreciate how these people lived, we highly recommend that during you stay in Sedona, that you take a tour of at least one of these amaziing sites. Walking around, or even through some of these ruin sites, you'll hear about how these people lived, how they fashioned their homes, and what much of their rock art symbolism means. You miss so much by not taking a tour to these sites and experiencing it yourself that visiting an archeological site in or around Sedona by tour is the only way we can reccommend you visit the sites.

One of the most famous local sites in the area, Montezuma Castle, was established as one of the first four National Monuments declared by Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. A mere 30 minute drive from the heart of Sedona, you'll gaze into the past at of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America. This 20 room high-rise Sinagua Indian apartment, nestled into a towering limestone cliff, tells a 1,000 year-old story of ingenuity and survival in an unforgiving desert landscape. Marveling at this enduring legacy of the Sinagua culture, the first European settlers to see Montezuma Castle in the mid-1800's, initially believed the imposing-looking strutcture to have been built by Montezuma himself, the late Aztec emporer. However, Montezuma never visited the site, and was born about 700 years after it had been abandoned by the Sinagua.

Tuzigoot (Apache - "Crooked Water") National Monument, is an ancient village or pueblo built by the Sinagua Indian culture. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms including second and third story structures. The first buildings were built around 1000 A.D.. The Sinagua were agriculturalists with trade connections that spanned hundreds of miles. The people left the area around 1400. The site is currently comprised of 42 acres and contains an artifacts display which houses many of the tools and pottery used by the Sinagua. It is interesting to note that many of the tools on display are currently in use by the traditional Hopi People today.

The Honanki (Hopi - "Bear House") Cliff Dwellings and Palatki (Hopi - "Red House") Indian Ruins were also built and inhabited by the Sinagua, ancestors of the Hopi, and are probably the most visited ruin sites right in Sedona. The Sinagua lived here from about 1100 to 1300 A.D., followed by the Yavapai and Apache for a total of about 700 years of occupancy. On your tour, you'll hear stories about how the people lived, preparing meals, raising their families, and making tools from stone, leather, and wood. Nearby they hunted for deer and rabbit, tended various crops, and gathered edible wild plants. The Honanki cliff dwelling and rock art (petroglyphs and pictographs) site is in a remote redrock canyon area just off a bumpy, unpaved road, best accessed by a jeep tour. Above the ruins are numerous pictographs, some predating the cliff dwellings by several thousand years. According to archeologists, the pueblo had approximately six dozen rooms, arranged in a townhouse-cluster style. Palatki was finally abandoned around 1250 A.D., and Honanki, around 1300 A.D.

There are many other archeological sites in and around Sedona that are within easy reach via hiking tours, ground tours, or even air tours. You can visit amazing ruin sites on the Navajo Reservation at such places as Navajo National Monument or Canyon DeChelley. Or, consider a Native American Indian Tour to the Hopi Nation and visit the people that live in the same fashion and homes they've lived in for nearly a 1,00 years ago. With so many choices, it's easy to see why an archeological tour from Sedona may be one of the highlights of your vacation in Sedona, Arizona.
