Tohono O'odham Nation to help preserve village


The Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona has signed an agreement to preserve Honey Bee Village, an ancient tribal settlement.

The tribe, the town of Oro Valley, Pima County and a housing developer announced the agreement last week. It calls for excavation of the 87-acre site, where 13 acres will be set aside for an archaeological preserve and public park.

The village is located on the tribe's traditional lands. It dates back more than 800 years and was home to between 200 to 400 people.
