SUPPORTING CROW CANYON


Learn how you can become a valued member of our community.

Awaken Curiosity. Inspire Wonder. Open Minds.

We value your support


Archaeology exposes the time, depth, and unity of the human experience.

Your gifts make it possible for school children to expand their understanding of the world in which we live, develop new perspectives on the rich history of the Southwest, and apply lessons of the past to the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Your support helps us conduct and publish important research that is accessible to the next generation of archaeologists.

Your participation advances critical scientific research in a way that inspires all of us to lean into our curiosity, listen with an open mind, and build a legacy for the future.

Your contributions enable ongoing dialogue and engagement with our Native partners to ensure that our research and curricula are respectful of the generations of ancestors who have occupied this land before us.
