Verde Valley Archaeology Center

The Verde Valley Archaeology Center will update its exhibition on the Yavapai-Apache Nation to better educate the public about the history and culture of these Native American people. The museum will work closely with the Yavapai-Apache Nation's cultural directors and archaeologist to determine the storyline and, content of the new exhibition, and collect historical photographs and documents. The intent of the exhibition will be to provide a better public understanding and appreciation of the ancestral and current Yavapai and Apache who have been in the Verde Valley since 2,000 B.C. With the involvement of younger groups in the project, the museum hopes to increase the pride of the Nation's youth in their history and languages.
