“CAÑON
DE CHELLY” 1904
Canyon de Chelly
(pronounced “de chay”, after the Navaho “Ta Shay”)
was one of the most sacred places for the Navaho and remains so
to this day. It is located in Northeastern Arizona in the heart
of Navaho country. Of Curtis’ 50,000 negatives this is considered
to be one of his ten most important and powerful. The insignificance
of man relative to nature is clearly illustrated through the sheer
size of enduring cliff formations (over 1,000 feet high) that surround
the riders.
