The Dragonfly Petroglyph Site: A teaching place for us all

Summary

The dragonfly is a subject of intrigue around the world and many different cultures have ascribed unique meanings to its behaviors. The Dragonfly petroglyph site located on the Gila National Forest represents an interesting teaching place for cultural preservation and traditional values and beliefs. It also demonstrates the collaborative opportunities for the interpretation of this special place. Collaborative efforts between the Gila National Forest, Aldo Leopold High School, New Mexico SiteWatch, and representatives from the Zuni Cultural Resource Advisory Team have begun to develop interpretive signage at the Dragonfly Petroglyph site in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
