The exhibit is at the downtown Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum.
Carmen Duarte A new exhibit downtown featuring the history and cultural traditions of the early inhabitants of Tucson, the Tohono O'odham and their ancestors, will get a special blessing before opening to the public.
Fayuant, a consultant to the museum staff, said he will pray for all those in attendance on opening day. He will pray for healing from past wrongs committed against Indigenous people by Europeans who arrived at the ancestral lands of the O'odham. The park includes a re-created pit house, the dwelling structure commonly used by the Indigenous of the area from 2100 BC up to the early 1800s.
Planning for the park began three years ago, said Amy Hartmann-Gordon, executive director of the museum. Grants were written for funding and the museum matched money totaling $10,000 for the park. More exhibits will be added telling the story of Tucson's history. Construction began last year and the pit house is built out of willows, grasses and mud.
A garden of corn, tepary beans, squash and amaranth — a plant that produces seeds that are ground into flour — are native plants that were grown by O’odham in the area dating back thousands of years, said Thompson, who also is working on signage in English and O'odham for the park. She is doing research for curriculum to share with up to 2,000 Tucson-area students who attend the museum each year.
The Presidio Museum is a reconstruction of the original Tucson presidio completed in 1783. Docent tours give visitors a glimpse of what life in the presidio was like for soldiers and civilians.
