Mesa Verde National Park, established in 1906, was one of the early national parks in the country to offer interpretation. Interpretation remains a crucial part of park visitors’ experiences. Kristy Sholly, Mesa Verde’s Chief of Interpretation talked with KSJD’s Cara Gildar about the intention that drives interpretation and how interpretation has changed over time to become more inclusive of Indigenous connections and perspectives.
