Arizona for me is the land of the Amerindians ..Before the whites, the Americas have known millennia of Amerindian history. The first traces of human occupation on Arizona's soil date back thirteen thousand years - imagine what that represents, and all that we do not know about the human odyssey through the ages. Everywhere on the American continent, empires have submerged huge lands, then collapsed, men have built, fought, cultivated, sung, painted and looked at the sky. We know the civilizations of the Mayas or Aztecs, the ruins of Chichen Itza or Machu Picchu. But did you know that in Arizona too, a monumental civilization was born well before our era, built cities and canals in the heart of the desert? They were named Sinagua, the "no water" because they lived in the heart of the arid heat. But their world was not without water, far from it: he had learned to tame it, to make it spring up where the ground is dry.I learned about the history of these people, and their descendants. And their story fascinated me.
