Tuzigoot
Three large pueblos, built and occupied by the Sinagua (Spanish for
"without water")
Indians somewhere between 1125 and 1400 A.D., form the ancient village
of Tuzigoot
which crowns a 100-foot-high ridge on the banks of the Verde River.
An Apache word meaning "crooked water," Tuzigoot was excavated
during the mid-1930s and declared
a National Monument in 1939 by Franklin Roosevelt. For more information
