Greetings from Tuzigoot National Monument

The folks in the museum there are so helpful and welcoming. I bought my passes in advance because I wasn’t sure if it would be staffed, but was so happy to see them there. The museum was presented in a respectful way which seemed to take into consideration the many cultures which have moved through that land, and did it in a respectful way.

Sincerely,
Mary
