ʻO Arizona kahi home o kekahi o nā'āina maikaʻi loa o ka'āina i kapaʻiaʻo ka Desert Painted. ʻO kēia ākea nui o nā'āinaʻeleʻele i hoʻonuiʻia ma kahi o 160 mile a hele i kekahi mau hiʻona nui loa, e like me ka Mokupuni Nui o Canyon National a me ka Monument National Wupatki. A ma waenakonu o kēia wao nahele mehameha e waiho nei i kahi waiwai huna e hōʻike ana i kahi wahi ma kahi o 200 miliona makahiki.
ʻO ka Pāʻali Pāʻaniʻo Petrified Forest kahi hiʻohiʻona ola o kā mākou moʻolelo, e hōʻike ana i ka nui o ka nui o ka nui o ka nui o nā mea nui o ka honua.
No ka heleʻana, e like me ka holoʻana i kekahi manawa i kahi'āina e kū nei me ka nani a me ka mea iʻikeʻia.
Mōʻaukala
Ma kahi o 13,000 makahiki o ka moʻaukala kanaka e hiki ke loaʻa ma Petrified Forest. Mai nā kūpuna kahiko i ka Hui Kuʻuna Kūikawā, he nui nā kānaka i waiho i ka hōʻailona ma kēia papa.
ʻAʻole i maopopo i nā poʻe kahiko he mau lāʻau i hoʻolālāʻia ka lāʻau i hoʻoponoponoʻia, a ua loaʻa i ko lākou mau manaʻo pono'ī. Ua manaʻo ka poʻe Navajo he mau lāʻau nā iwi o Yietso, he mōneka nui i pepehiʻia ko lākou mau kūpuna. Ua manaʻoʻo Paiute i nā pahu ka pua o Shinuav, ko lākou akua hekili. Eia naʻe,ʻo ka nui o nā'āpana'āpana o nā lāʻau i wahieʻia e'ālahalaha ana e hōʻike ana i ka manawa kūpono. Hiki i nā malihini ke nānā pono i ka quartz e hoʻololi i ka nui o nā mea ulu i kahi 200 miliona makahiki i hala.
ʻO ka papa he hale nō hoʻi ia i nā hana a nā kānaka, e like me nā hammerstones, nāʻae, a me ka ipu lepo.
Manaʻoʻia ua hiki ke mālamaʻia ka hale noho kahiko loa ma mua o ka AD 500.ʻO ka heleʻana i ka papa e like me ka heleʻana i ko kāua moʻolelo; mai nā paila o nā kūpuna Puebloan i Painted Desert Inn i kūkuluʻia e ka Hui Kuʻuna Kūikawā.
Ke hele aku
ʻO kēia kahi mākele'āina e hiki keʻikeʻia i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki.
Hoʻonui ka hoʻonaniʻana i ka nani o ka 'āina a hiki i ka mahana o ka paʻakai i ka lehulehu. He nani maoli nō ka hiʻi, e uhi ana i ka Desert Painted me ka hau hau. ʻO ka pūnāwai he manawa nui nō ia eʻike i ka wao nahele e pua, akā e hoʻomanaʻo i keʻano he makani.
