Wupatki National Monument Symposium presented by the National Park Service

Museum of Northern Arizona
November 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wupatki National Monument turns 100 on December 9. Join the National Park Service as it highlights the significance of the people, cultures, plants, animals, rocks, fossils, and historic buildings within the monument. The symposium will include time to explore cultural demonstrations, artwork, and science information. Two sessions of talks and discussions will focus on the monument’s history and Indigenous perspectives. Though the land and resources now known as Wupatki National Monument became a National Park site in 1924, Indigenous peoples have been here protecting and caring for these lands for time immemorial. We gratefully acknowledge those on whose ancestral homelands we gather, as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who continue to make their home here today.
