The Sinagua Indians who lived here years ago depended on nature to
supply their needs. Plants provided food, building material, medicine
and clothing.
While you are visiting, look at the different plants. Many are the same
type that people used when they lived here. Four plants are listed
below, along with how they were used. See if you can find and draw 3 of
these 4.
There are different types of
yucca but all provided necessary
items. Fibers from the leaves of
these plants were woven into
baskets, mats, ropes and
sandals. Soap was made from the
roots.
