SUMMARY:“Coyote Ruin\, Fitzmaurice Ruin\, and Museum of Indigenous People Tour”
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday and Sunday\, November 21-22\, 2026\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Coyote Ruin\, Fitzmaurice Ruin\, and Museum of Indigenous People Tour” will be led by archaeologist Andrew Christenson\, Ph.D. Tours will be held on Saturday starting at 11:30 am to Sunday 12:00 noon in Prescott Valley and Prescott\, Arizona. \nArchaeologist Dr. Andy Christenson leads this tour to two hilltop archaeological sites of west-central Arizona’s Prescott culture and to one of Arizona’s oldest anthropology museums. On Saturday\, we will take a short hike to the Coyote Ruin in Prescott Valley\, which was occupied from perhaps the 900s until after 1300 CE. Archaeological excavations there in the 1920s were the earliest in the Prescott area for which we have documentation. Additional excavations were conducted in 1998 and later in 11 of Coyote’s 26 masonry rooms and two of its 10 pit structures\, and many agricultural and water-control features were recorded. \nAfter visiting Coyote\, we will caravan about 20 miles to Prescott’s Museum of Indigenous People\, originally the Smoki Museum. This complex of stone buildings was completed in 1935 by a non-Native community-minded social group\, the “Smoki People\,” with assistance from Depression-era work program participants. Andy\, the Museum’s curator\, may take us into the back rooms of the Museum if we have time. There will be an optional group dinner in Prescott on Saturday evening. \nOn Sunday\, we will take a slightly longer hike to visit the famous Fitzmaurice Ruin. Situated on and near a prominent Prescott Valley hilltop overlooking Lynx Creek\, it includes a 27-room pueblo and outlying structures dated between 1140 and 1300\, at least one petroglyph\, and stone-outlined areas interpreted as terraced and possibly canal-irrigated garden plots. \nThere is a requested donation of $109 per person ($99 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members)\, which covers all site entry fees and supports Old Pueblo’s and the Museum of Indigenous People’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Participants are responsible for their own transportation\, lodging\, and meals. Registration and prepayment are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Tuesday November 17\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20261121-1122(v2)_Coyote&Fitzmaurice&MuseumOfIndigenousPeopleTourFlyer

SUMMARY:“Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” Car-caravan Cultural Sites Tour
DESCRIPTION:A Yaqui family home in Yoem Village\, Marana\, Arizona\, 1936; R. B. Spicer photo courtesy of Felipe Molina \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina will be held on Saturday\, January 30\, 2027\, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. This tour will start at the in Santa Cruz River Park\, 1317 W Irvington Rd\, Tucson\, AZ. The requested donation is $45 per person ($36 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members)\, which supports Old Pueblo’s and Mr. Molina’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nFelipe S. Molina was taught the Indigenous language\, culture\, and history of the Yoemem (Yaqui Indians) by his maternal grandfather and grandmother\, his grandmother’s cousin\, and several elders from Tucson’s original Pascua Village. A steady stream of Yoeme migrated into southern Arizona to escape the Mexican government’s war on and deportations of the Yoeme in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \nBy 1940 there were about 3\,000 Yoeme in Arizona\, mostly living in the well-established villages of Libre (Barrio Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson\, Yoem Pueblo and Wiilo Kampo in Marana\, and others near Eloy\, Somerton\, Phoenix\, and Scottsdale. Mr. Molina will lead this tour to places settled historically by Yoeme in the Tucson and Marana areas including Bwe’u Hu’upa (Big Mesquite) Village\, the San Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Street Community (Barrio Libre)\, Pascua\, Ili Hu’upa\, Wiilo Kampo\, and his home community of Yoem Pueblo including its San Juan Church and plaza. Participants provide their own transportation. \nThis tour fills up quickly\, so don’t delay. Registration and prepayment are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Wednesday January 27\, whichever is earlier: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20270130(v1)Tucson&MaranaYoeme(YaquiIndian)CommunitiesFlyer
