N1 - Funding Information:
The NPS Archaeology Program at the Washington Office provided funding for the LHHTA. The authors are grateful to the many NPS personnel at park units visited during the programme. We are also grateful to the Western National Parks Association for their generous financial support of the LHHTA. Support for the University of Arizona Archaeological Field School came from Tumacácori National Historical Park, the Western National Parks Association, Desert Archaeology, Inc., the University of Arizona School of Anthropology and Arizona State Museum, and the Tohono O'odham Nation. The authors gratefully acknowledge the many contributions of the University of Arizona field school co-directors, J. Homer Thiel (Desert Archaeology, Inc.) and Jeremy Moss (NPS). We are grateful to the City of Nogales for their permission to investigate archaeological features on City property. The authors gratefully acknowledge the Santa Fe Ranch for generous accommodations during the Guevavi Field School and LHHTA programme. LHHTA interns in 2013 and 2015 were Stephanie Reyes, Nicole Mathwich, Brandi Bethke, and Fabiola Delgado. We also thank the 2013 and 2015 University of Arizona field school students and staff (especially Nicole Mathwich and Leslie Aragon) for sharing their archaeological expertise. Finally, we are grateful to the intrepid, enthusiastic, and dedicated LHHTA high school students and teachers, who are the true measure of the programme's success.

N2 - The Linking Hispanic Heritage Through Archeology (LHHTA) Program is a partnership between the National Park Service (NPS) (USA), the University of Arizona, and the Environmental Education Exchange that aims to change Latino communities’ historically low engagement with the NPS. Archaeology provides a ‘hook’ for young people to explore and connect with national parks and Hispanic heritage in the American Southwest, engage in outdoor recreation, and learn about employment with the NPS. To do this, students and teachers participate in a variety of archaeological activities in the field, laboratory, and local museums. Participants also use modern technology to document their experiences and create videos for the public. The NPS and its partners are already seeing the programme's impact, including participants taking their families to parks, and becoming NPS interns.
