FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE | 51 NEXT DOORS BY TOM EVANS Echoes in the Dust S’edav Va’aki Museum tells the story of Phoenix’s past — and offers a warning for our own time B eneath the roar of jets at Phoenix Sky Harbor, an entirely different story of arrival and departure unfolds. Here lies the S’edav Va’aki Museum, a site that holds the 1,500-year-old ghost of a civilization. You’ve likely driven past it a million times. But to venture inside is to confront a profound question about our own existence in the Valley of the Sun. A designated Phoenix Point of Pride, the museum has been stewarded by the City of Phoenix since its founding in 1929, serving as an official guardian of a history that long predates the modern metropolis. Today, with vital support from the nonprofit S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation and Arizona’s tribal nations, its mission is to prove that these are more than just ruins. Welcome to the S’edav Va’aki Museum, a center for preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of the Valley. A stunning example of the artistry of the ancestral Sonoran Desert people.
