It’s Your Turn: A HOME Studio

Home is the center of life for Native peoples in the Southwest. Explore the many meanings of home and how it comes to life in clay, pigment, plants, fiber, wood, and metal by the people whose art and expression are reflections of the landscapes in which they live.

This hands-on interactive exhibition space invites the whole family to learn through play! Once you explore the exhibition, HOME: Native People in the Southwest, you can expand on your learning with several fun hands-on activities based on the cultures of different tribes, designed to help deepen understanding of what “home” means to Native peoples.

• Creating an O’otham Calendar Stick
