Today, Aztalan is a state park managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources whose goal is to preserve and interpret the site. Through archaeological investigations and historical work, many of the mysteries of Aztalan have been solved, but many questions still remain. For example: Who were the people who occupied Aztalan before the Mississippians? Why did the Mississippians come to Aztalan? What was the relationship of these people to others, such as the Late Woodland Effigy Mound builders and later, the Oneota? What caused the collapse of Aztalan?
