S'edav Va'aki Museum interprets an ancestral Sonoran Desert community whose surviving platform mound stands within modern Phoenix.
Exhibits and the outdoor archaeological setting introduce the canal builders and their descendants, connecting architecture, irrigation, and daily life with the continuing presence of Indigenous communities in the region.
Visit the museum and outdoor area together to understand the relationship between the objects and the place. Bring sun protection for the archaeological grounds and follow posted boundaries; the preserved remains are sensitive cultural resources.
