Monthly programs and lectures on the Maya and other Mesoamerican cultures are supported by annual memberships and are open to the public. The society also cooperates with and supports schools and other arts and cultural organizations in community education programs. The Maya Society of Minnesota adheres to the Society for American Archaeology Principles of Archaeological Ethics.
