Our group explored the territory of the Salt River Reservation and
researched the Pima- Maricopa Indian Community. The community
presents as dry desert terrain. The homes are scattered and spaced
approximately an acre or more away from each other. There is a variety
of homes from damaged manufactured mobile homes to new custom
designed homes. Many yards are unkept and show signs of hoarding.
Some homes have broken windows, but are still lived in. Vehicles are
mostly newer, with the exception of a few older vehicles. There is no gas
station or grocery store in the immediate area. The community and health
buildings are all centralized in one area, while the schools are a couple
of streets north. Each of the buildings are properly maintained and
landscaped. There is a beautiful play area near the community buildings,
and the schools have newer play areas. Among the centralized
community buildings are the dialysis center, the fire department, the
police department, the prison, the Tribal Government Complex, the
Wellness Center, and Memorial Hall. There is also a Catholic church on
the reservation, where Native Ameircans still practice the Catholic faith.
The Huhugam Ki museum is among the buildings, representing the
respected culture of this tribe. The police substation and the youth Way
of Life Facility for community events and recreational services are
located just a mile or two Northeast of the main community
buildings........ Continue
