The Gila River Indian Community of Arizona recently opened a museum.
The new Huhugam Heritage Center has two exhibits. The ethnobiology garden shows how the tribe has used desert plants for food, medicine and materials. A display on ancient trails shows trade routes to California.
The museum is open one day a week and is staffed by tribal members. A third exhibit, on baskets, is set to open this summer.
