Celebrating the Southwest

Have you ever visited Mesa Verde, Colorado, home of the ancestral Pueblo people? Mesa Verde, which means "green table" in Spanish, is now a National Park in southwestern Colorado and was the home of the Pueblos from A.D. 600 to 1300. The National Park includes nearly 5,000 archaeological sites and 600 cliff dwellings.
