The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is a 950-member Native American tribe that calls Central Arizona’s upper Sonoran Desert home. Located to the northeast of Phoenix within Maricopa County, Ariz., the 40-square mile reservation is a small part of the ancestral territory of the once nomadic Yavapai people who hunted and gathered food in a vast area of Arizona’s desert lowlands and mountainous Mogollon Rim country.

The public is invited to visit the FMYN Cultural Center Monday through Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to learn more. According to a press release, the River of Time Museum and Exploration Center is honored to feature exhibits curated under the direction of the FMYN and to share stories of the history and culture of these great peoples.
