Connecting Communities Videos

Arizona is fortunate to be home to 22 tribal nations, each with its own distinct language and cultural traditions. With support from American Express™ in 2010 and 2011, the Heard Museum worked with 20 tribal nations to produce short videos—virtual tours that offer an introduction to and aid in connecting to these communities. Many of these communities have their own websites that will help you to learn in more depth about the tribes. The website of the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona includes links to member websites.

In some cases, the tour features a museum or cultural center that we hope you will want to visit someday. In some instances, you’ll hear firsthand about economic and cultural development projects in each community at the time of the interview.
