"Atsinna Ruins atop El Morro. Archeological evidence shows that Atsinna and nearby massive pueblos were built about the same time--in the late 1200s. After only 75 years they were abandoned. (Perhaps they were meant to be only temporary: unusual heat and drought may have driven the Zuni from the river valleys to the high ground around El Morro.)"

"For the Zuni people, Atsinna and nearby sites continue to be sacred places, parts of a larger homeland that once stretched far beyond today's Zuni Reservation."
