Tsankawi is a detached portion of Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico, near White Rock. It is accessible from a roadside parking area just north of the intersection of East Jemez Road and State Road 4. A self-guided 1.5-mile loop trail provides access to numerous unexcavated ruins, caves carved into soft tuff, and petroglyphs. A trail guide, available at the entrance, provides a detailed description of the area. == Origin of the name == The name Tsankawi (''saekewikwaje onwikege'') may mean "village between two canyons at the clump of sharp round cacti" or more simply, (''san-ke-wii'') "Opuntia sharp gap") in the Tewa language of the nearby Pueblo people. : ''We are synonymous with and born of the earth, so are we made of the same stuff as our houses....We built them, tasted them, talked with them, climbed on them, lived with them, and watched them die.... The entire community was the house." ' -- Rina Swentzell, Santa Clara Pueblo writer and architectural historian 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「Tsankawi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
