A-mazing Migration
Activity can be done anywhere.
{Kathy} Kathy: For some time, it was thought that Gentle Rain’s family
and the rest of the Ancestral Pueblo people simply vanished from Mesa
Verde. We now know that they migrated south over 700 years ago. Their
descendants include the Rio Grande Pueblos in New Mexico, the Hopi in
Arizona, and the Ysleta del Sur in Texas.
_Directions_—Follow the paths through the maze from Mesa Verde to find
the present-day locations of the Ancestral Puebloans’ descendants. You
must travel through and find at least one Ancestral Puebloan item along
the way to each pueblo, and avoid any modern items.
{4-7} Find the Hopi Pueblos.
{8-9} Find the Hopi and Rio Grande Pueblos.
{10-up} Find the Hopi, Rio Grande, and Ysleta del Sur Pueblos.
