Native American Heritage Sites

Course | Registration opens 1/21/2025 8:00 AM EST

Native American heritage sites are sites specifically created to commemorate the contribution of the indigenous cultures. Many sites were created to preserve cultures that no longer exist, such as the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park. Some tell the story of cultures that contribute to American society, such as Canyon de Chelly located in the Navajo Nation. Another important aspect of Native American heritage is petroglyphs which hold immense cultural, historical, and archaeological significance. Join us on a virtual visit to several sites that celebrate Native American heritage.
