OPINION
PICKARD, Judge.
{1} In this case we decide whether the recreational use provision of the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Act, NMSA 1978, § 66 — 3— 1013(A) (2005) (OHMVA), which limits landowner liability for damages arising out of off-highway motor vehicle-related accidents or injuries occurring on the landowner’s lands, applies to government landowners as well as private landowners. Having considered the OHMVA in its historical context, we hold that the legislature intended the OHMVA to apply solely to private landowners, and we reverse the district court’s order of dismissal.
