CyArk Tapestry Virtual Tours
Tapestry is a web-based storytelling platform that brings places to life, connecting users with the history, culture, and emotions that shape each location. CyArk is launching a fifth virtual tour of Bears Ears, created in collaboration with Indigenous partners. This is part of a new series that was funded by the BLM and focusing on landscapes of Comb Ridge and includes experiences produced by the Pueblo of Zuni, the Pueblo of Acoma, and the Hopi. Follow these links for virtual tours of River House, Butler Wash Developed Site, and Monarch Cave, all in Bears Ears National Monument.
River House – Ancestral Home connected to Pueblo of Zuni

The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society (SJBAS) is a Colorado Nonprofit Corporation. SJBAS consists of people who are interested in the archaeology, culture, and early history of the Four Corners region. We have members of all ages and backgrounds, some with extensive training in archaeology and others with more limited knowledge, but a strong desire to learn.
Our mission is to advocate for and promote public awareness and preservation of archaeological, cultural, and historical resources, primarily of the Four Corners region of the American Southwest.
Members are eligible to participate in SJBAS field trips and they receive a monthly newsletter, the Moki Messenger, with information about current SJBAS activities and other matters of archaeological and historical interest.
We support and endow the John W. Sanders Internship and Education Fund. This fund provides ongoing internships for Fort Lewis College students at the Center of Southwest Studies. Donations are welcome to these 501(C)(3) funds: Donate.
