S'edav Va'aki Museum Foundation Inaugural Event: Harmony Balancing Past and Present on April 18th 

Harmony is an immersive Indigenous Sonoran Desert experience. Through food, art, and conversation, Harmony will connect guests to the Akimel O’Odham and Piipaash communities whose irrigation canals and fields still shape the land behind the museum, reframing “local” to include millennia of Indigenous presence at the heart of modern Phoenix. The event is taking place on Saturday, April 18 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.

This fundraiser supports the creation of a permanent gallery exhibition at S'edav Va'aki Museum.
