Native Americans have a detailed oral history which is not divulged due to religious privacy. Archaeologists say that ancestors of the Taos Indians lived in this valley long before Columbus discovered America and hundreds of years before Europe emerged from the Dark Ages. Ancient ruins in the Taos Valley indicate the Native Americans lived here nearly 1000 years ago. The main part of the present buildings were most likely constructed between 1000 and 1450 A.D.
