About MPPP
Our organization, which began in 1999, has three goals:
TO RECORD as many of the estimated 75,000 petroglyphs and other archaeological features on the Mesa Prieta as possible. TO EDUCATE and inform the archaeological community, local people and visitors about this treasure. Our primary focus is on educating young people. We hold a Summer Youth Intern Program and we have developed a dynamic science-based elementary school curriculum called “Discovering Mesa Prieta”. We offer public and private tours for groups and individuals to raise awareness of the petroglyphs. In addition, we sponsor a community lecture series, “Pláticas Presentations”, which focus on northern New Mexico culture and landscape. TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE the important cultural legacy of Mesa Prieta for generations to come is our ultimate goal.
