    Guide Children Through Sites

    Sacred cultural sites are not playgrounds. Teach children to respect these places so they can share them with future generations and become better stewards of the land. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t get hurt or accidentally damage cultural belongings.

    Pay Your Fees

    It may not seem like much, but your small fee helps support important monitoring, enforcement, and amenities like toilets.

    Steer Clear of Ancestral Structures

    Steer Clear of Ancestral Structures

    Structures are spiritually alive and still hold cultural significance to Tribal peoples. When recreating, visitors should refrain from leaning on walls, no matter how solid they look and avoid touching, standing on, or climbing in structures as they can be easily damaged.
