Mimbres Pottery  

Did You Know?
Mimbres pottery tells a story of the Mimbres Mogollon culture. Some of the pottery shows women training parrots, playing games, gambling, and, perhaps, even voting. The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is the sole National Park Service facility dedicated to preserving the Mogollon culture.
