This administrative history is a pilot document, based largely on research of an archival nature, whereas the area itself has a history based primarily on verbal understandings. Consequently, additional input can be expected that may alter the report. To facilitate the collection of such information, a single depository will be maintained at the library at the Canyon de Chelly National Monument headquarters. Submissions should be sent to that location, identified as to source, date, etc.
