Spending some time in the desert is a must while you are in Scottsdale. One of the best ways to experience the desert, and to learn about people who made it home 1,500 years ago, is at the S'edav Va'aki Museum archeological site. Here you will hike through the ruins of an ancient village built by Hohokam Indians, a prehistoric ball court excavated from the sand and reproductions of two full-scale Hohokam prehistoric dwellings.
Galleries have constantly changing exhibits on archaeology, cultures of the Southwest and modern American Indian arts. The museum offers numerous programs to encourage interest in archeology.
