Land Acknowledgement

What connections do you have to the place you call home?

For more than 10,000 years, ancestral Native American people have called the land at our monument home. At Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments, we recognize the long history of this land and the connections that indigenous peoples have to this place today. Our monument is a place where people come to remember their ancestors, collect resources from the land, and reflect on important events and histories that have taken place here. This land continues to be a place where people live and thrive together. We encourage you to consider your place within this history as you explore our monument.
