Crowning a desert hilltop
is an ancient pueblo. From a roof top a child scans the desert landscape for the arrival of traders, who are due any day now. What riches will they bring? What stories will they tell? Will all of them return? From the top of the Tuzigoot Pueblo it is easy to imagine such an important
moment. Tuzigoot is an ancient village or pueblo built by a culture known as the Sinagua. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms including second and third story structures. The first buildings were built around A.D. 1000. 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. CONTACTS Email - MOCA_Administration@nps.gov Fax- 928-567-3597 Write to Tuzigoot
