Navajo National Monument is run by the National Park Service and is on the Navajo Nation west of Kayenta AZ and East of Page and south of Navajo Mountian and not far from Shonto. It consists of the Ancestoral Pueblo (Hisatsinom or Anasazi) ruins named Keet Seel (Kitsʼiil) , Betatakin (Bitátʼahkin) and Inscription House site (Tsʼah Biiʼ Kin). They were abandoned around about 1300 AD with the people moving to the Hopi mesas. The Hopi say this was part of a spiritual quest. American scientists say it was due to drought and cultural changes. The site was "discovered" in modern times by the in 1895 by the Wetherill Brothers. Of course, the local Navajo had always known it was there but preferred to stay away from it due to their taboo about coming in contact with the dead.
