RELEASE: Tile mural features designs by more than 1200 young visitors to Bosque Redondo Memorial

Now open as an outdoor exhibit.

Hello everyone,

A new tile wall mural, entitled “Reactions to Hweeldi (place of suffering),” is now open as an outdoor exhibit at Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner Historic Site. The mural is a collection of 1,276 tiles that were created by students who have visited the site since 2007. The project was started as a reflective activity for students to express their thoughts after learning the difficult history of the site as a Native American internment camp in the 1860s.
