What is Geoheritage?

According to the National Park Service, "Geologic Heritage encompasses the significant geologic features, landforms, and landscapes characteristic of our Nation which are preserved for the full range of values that society places on them, including scientific, aesthetic, cultural, ecosystem, educational, recreational, tourism, and other values. Geoheritage sites are conserved so that their lessons and beauty will remain as a legacy for future generations."

Whispers of the Hisatsinom was created with support from the National Science Foundation and Mississippi State University's program on ADI-Geohistory.
