Other Less known ruins are around the area. One of the most prominent is the Three Turkey Ruins. It was built by the Anasazi to protect themselves from rival tribes. It is about a 2 hour horse ride down and back up, depending on where you go back up. It is completely on Navajo Land and you must have a navajo guide. One of the best ways to see the ruins is to go to Totsonii Ranch and they will take you down there for a fee and if you make a reservation ahead of time.

Comment: The red dot for Canyon de Chelly on the locator map on the page for the Monument is located over in eastern Arkansas!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.251.17.176 ( talk) 17:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC) reply

not at all; monument canyon is in the Canyon de Chelly National Monument, south east of Spider Rock (see [1]), Monument Valley is something totally different. -- Ajnem ( talk) 12:37, 3 September 2009 (UTC) reply

The article is missing information pertaining to the geology, archeology and history of the so called Canyon de Chelly National Moument. There is nothing here about the numerous cliff ruins (eg Casa Blanca aka White House) and excavations conducted within the park boundaries. There are some old gooks eg Annual report of the Bureau of American ..., Volume 16, Parts 1894-1895 by Smithsonian http://books.google.com/books?id=UUsSAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA146&dq=white+house+ruin+canyon+de+chelly&hl=en&ei=e6CcTs7kJ-rp0QHPhoCJCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CD8Q6AEwAA#v=twopage&q&f=false and I am sure there are newer ones too - — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarioTW ( talk • contribs) 21:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC) reply

perhaps this entry, i.e. Canyon de Chelly, is a case-in-point of how National Park Service, with its limited funding and short-staffed, is unable or unwilling to engage in professional archaeological excavations within its jurisdictions, depraving us of knowledge regarding the prehistory of these sites - see this book A new deal for southeastern archaeology by Edwin A. Lyon http://books.google.com/books?id=M7B6iUbiL-kC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarioTW ( talk • contribs) 22:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Your comment is a complete misunderstanding of the NPS's status here. This is part of the Navajo reservation and is a living community. It is their land, and no one has the right to excavate here. They aren't exactly happy with the NPS running it in any case, as they feel they should be able to do that themselves. Dougweller ( talk) 05:12, 6 June 2012 (UTC) reply

1. Its fascinating history.

2. A discussion of the community that lives there today. You could easily miss the scant mention of the canyon community.

I have the resources to do this, let's see if I have the time. Dougweller ( talk) 05:14, 6 June 2012 (UTC) reply

BUT the link to the enlarged map /info/en/?search=File:Usa_edcp_relief_location_map.png does not show any red dot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.216.245 ( talk • contribs) 12:32, 2017 December 30 (UTC)

The linked enlarged map is the base map that is used to show locations in thousands of articles in tens of Wikipedias. Your point is good that readers may expect the linked enlarged map to show the location dot. Please consider submitting a feature request at Wikipedia:Bug reports and feature requests.

As of 27 Jul 2023 there's a maintenance tag for citations for the Etymology section. I was able to find a couple of sources that confirm the first part of what had been written. I have been unable to find any others to support the rest of the paragraph, however. I will reach out to the NPS to see if someone at the NM can assist, but I did not feel that removing the tag was appropriate as most of the section can still use citations.
