| Summary | "Preliminary Report on a Visit to the Navaho National Monument, Arizona" by Jesse Walter Fewkes is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This text serves as a preliminary report on Fewkes’ archaeological reconnaissance of the Navaho National Monument, focusing on the significant prehistoric ruins found in the area. The report details not only his observations and findings related to the ancient structures but also examines the cultural context and historical aspects connected to the Hopi clans that once inhabited these sites. The opening of the report includes a letter of transmittal from the Smithsonian Institution, establishing its official nature and scholarly intent. It sets the stage by describing Fewkes’ initial exploration of the Navaho National Monument after working on the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde. He outlines his methodology for studying the ancient ruins and begins to introduce the various sites he encountered, mentioning the importance of preserving these remnants for scientific study and cultural understanding. The text emphasizes the connection between the ancient ruins and the modern Hopi peoples, hinting at the significance of these archaeological findings for understanding migration patterns and cultural evolution among indigenous groups in the Southwestern United States.
