Stoffle, Richard W., Michael Evans, Nieves Zedeno, Brent Stoffle, and Cindy Kessel 1994 American Indians and Fajada Butte. Prepared for the National Park Service,

Chaco Culture National Park. Tucson: Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology, University of Arizona.

Chaco• This park wanted to add Indian voices to the

interpretative center.• So in consultation with the culturally affiliated

tribes two more intro explanations were provided – one from a Navajo and one from a Pueblo perspective.

• Perhaps a good beginning, but neither Navajo nor Pueblo people are satisfied that the complexity of their relationships with Chaco is represented.

• Also the scientists of the NPS discounted both Indian voice displays.
