Canyon de Chelly National Monument: Sacred cliffs and Spider Rock legends: A photographic journey through Tséyi.

Nestled within the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona, Canyon de Chelly—known as Tséyi', or "within the rock"—holds nearly 5,000 years of human history amid its towering red walls and winding riverbeds. These images capture the sacred interplay of light, ancient ruins like White House and Spider Rock, and the timeless spirit of the Diné people who call it home.
