S’edav Va’aki
Ancestral Home of the O'odham
A Sacred Central Place of Gathering and Ceremony
We respectfully acknowledge that S’edav Va’aki Museum stands on a 1,500-year-old archaeological site once inhabited by the ancestors of the O'Odham people, people, known archaeologically as the Hohokam (Huhugam) culture. We honor the deep history, ingenuity, and stewardship of this land by its original inhabitants, and recognize the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous peoples connected to this region today. We are committed to preserving this history with respect, integrity, and continued learning.
