SALT RIVER PIMA-MARICOPA INDIAN COMMUNITY-The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community museum and gift shop not only supports the local artists but helps keep the culture alive. The museum displays the tribes' jewelry, basketry, clothing and pottery, but it also tells the tribes' history. The building is the last adobe structure made by community members back in 1963.
