SANTA FE MUSEUM AND EXHIBIT REVIEWS 121 while avoiding disruption of a sacred site, requires historians and community members to participate in a delicate dance. First occupied by Pueblo peoples, over the course of the centuries the region became host to Spanish, Mexicans, and nally Americans. [...]the museum has the standard National Park Service look and feel, and it features both English and Spanish interpretation. Led by the Friends of Pecos National Historic Park, the Pigeons Ranch Trail Campaign hopes to raise money and awareness of this historic trail and make it accessible to the public in the near future.
