Krista Langlois, of High Country News, has written a revealing article about the connections between the six contemporary nations which speak Tewa and Mesa Verde's cliff dwellings. Their unbroken oral traditions are being connected with computer modeling to the depopulation of the Central Mesa Verde Region in Colorado during the 1200s CE.
"So when the Village Ecodynamics Project showed that the number of people who “disappeared” from Mesa Verde during the 1200s was roughly the same as the number of people who moved into the Tewa Basin shortly thereafter, Ortman began searching for other evidence linking the two regions. But rather than studying potsherds and midden heaps, he turned to the Tewa people themselves. He studied modern Tewa language and culture, and invited elders to join him at ancestral sites to compare traditional knowledge with archaeological evidence. Instead of viewing Tewa stories merely as metaphor or myth, he began combing through them for clues harking back to Mesa Verde."
