Huérfano Mountain (Navajo: ''Dzil Na'oodilii'', "People Encircling the Mountain"), also known as Huerfano Mesa and El Huerfano, is one of four sacred mountains in the mythology of the Navajo people. Located in San Juan County, New Mexico, the mountain is believed in Navajo culture to be the home of Yódí 'At'ééd (Goods of Value Girl) and Yódí 'Ashkii (Goods of Value Boy). It is also thought to be one of the homes of Átsé Hastiin (First Man) and 'Átse 'Asdzáán (First Woman). Located at the center of the Navajo's ancestral homeland, the ''Dinetah'', Huérfano Mountain is composed of Eocene sandstone, and is considered one of two sacred "inner mountains". An Ancestral Puebloan long-distance communication system that utilized smoke and mirrors existed in the region, and direct lines of sight have been established between Huérfano Mountain, Chimney Rock Pueblo, and the Chacoan great house Pueblo Alto. Messages could have been relayed between the three points within minutes. ==References== Citations Bibliography * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huérfano Mountain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
