"Tse biyintzis gaii"-"the space between the rocks"-is the name some Dine (Navajo) give for what white people call Monument Valley. The landscape of Monument Valley is internationally recognized but intimately known only be those few Dine who live there. The rock monuments are icons of a West which exists mostly in celluloid imagination, but they also define one of the most beautiful parts of Dinetah, Navajo Country.
