Attracted to the lush flood plain of the Paayu, native people arrived at Homolovi around 1330AD.  They came from the Hopi Mesas which are 60 miles north.  The Paayu is now known as the Little Colorado River.  About 750 to 1000 people lived here, in a 1200 room village.  They farmed corn, beans, squash and cotton in the flood plain and sand dunes.  They also gathered native wild foods growing in the area and hunted for beaver, antelope, deer, elk and waterfowl.  The Homolovi people left the Little Colorado River valley sometime prior to 1400AD and probably made their way back to their ancestral villages on the Hopi Mesas.  In the 1960’s the ancient dwellings were threatened by illegal collectors of ancient artifacts.  Homolovi State Park was eventually established to protect the artifacts and dwellings.  Homolovi State Park is near Winslow, Arizona, USA.
