A Difference of Perspective by Harvey Leake
Through their study of the cliff dwellers and association with their Native American neighbors, the Wetherills developed a value system that was quite different from that of the dominant culture. Harvey Leake contrasts these beliefs in this article entitled "The Wisdom of Nature and why we try so hard to avoid it".

The Anasazi Heritage Center is the curation facility for the Wetherill Family Archives. Since, initiation by the family approximately 15,000 documents and artifacts of historical significance in 15 accessioned collections have been donated by family members and other individuals interested in preserving information about the early years of archaeology in the Four Corners.
