Tutuveni

Tutuveni, meaning "Newspaper Rock" in Hopi, is the largest known collection of Hopi clan symbols in the American Southwest, containing over 5,000 petroglyphs across eight sandstone boulders at the base of Echo Cliffs in Arizona. Young Hopi men inscribed clan symbols during ceremonial pilgrimages to Ongtupqa (the Grand Canyon) to mark their passage into adulthood, a tradition spanning from roughly 1200 AD to the 1950s. Boulder 48 contains nearly 60% of all symbols, including those of extinct Hopi clans. The site was added to the World Monuments Watch in 2008 after almost 80% of vandalism occurred between 1980 and 2005.
