From 850 to 1150 CE, an Indigenous American people called the Ancestral Pueblo made Chaco Canyon the center of their cultural world. For hundreds of miles in every direction, other communities emulated the ideas and architecture of Chaco. Archaeologists have found surprising evidence of long-distance trade networks linking Chaco Canyon with societies thousands of miles away. Why did the Ancestral Puebloans choose to live in Chaco Canyon, and how did they learn to thrive in this challenging environment? To find answers to these questions, we spoke with archaeologist Kurt Anschuetz and the former governor of Acoma Pueblo, Brian Vallo.
