About Us

The  S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation (formerly the Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum) was incorporated in February 1981 to serve as an advisory group for the Museum. 

What's in our Name

In March of 2023, the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department voted unanimously to change the name of Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park to S'edav Va'aki Museum, declaring that this site and the entirety of central Arizona is the ancestral home of the O'Odham people (Salt River, Gila River, Ak-Chin Indian Communities and the Tohono O'odham Nation) who are Federally recognized tribes in Arizona.
