Canyon de Chelly, Arizona Photograph by Bill Hatcher Carved rock
stretches as far as the eye can see in Canyon de Chelly National
Monument in Arizona. Canyon de Chelly is unique among U.S.
national parks—it is composed entirely of Navajo Tribal Trust
Land, which remains home to a Navajo community. According to
Navajo beliefs, a deity named Spider Woman lived on top of
Spider Rock, the sandstone monolith in the foreground of this
picture. She devoured children who misbehaved, and their
bleached bones turned the top of Spider Rock white.
