Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation

Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation will produce an interpretive plan to guide the future development of its museum. The current museum exhibits have been displayed since 2012 with minimal interpretive graphics in an 800 square foot area of a former church building in the historic center of the community. The interpretive plan will be based on broad community participation in three facilitated meetings using participant engagement techniques. The meetings will be facilitated by professionals in the field of museum development who also have experience with tribal nations. The plan will provide a road map with clear steps for ongoing phases of development and will demonstrate the tribe's commitment to developing a museum that tells the Nation's story the way they want it to be told.
