During the workshop we will visit the following areas. The Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center is a historic landmark and the reason for the workshop. The other sites all contain historical artifacts and data resources of the Indigenous peoples that have lived in the area from time immemorial.
Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center
300 East Indian School Road, Phoenix, Arizona, 85012
Located at the corner of Central Avenue and Indian School Road, much of this site was transferred to the City of Phoenix from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1990, which the city used to create Steele Indian School Park. Since its closing, the City of Phoenix saved three historic buildings and placed them on the National Register of Historic Places. One of those historic buildings, the former grammar school building, is the building Native American Connections and Phoenix Indian Center (PIC) have renovated, and have transformed it into the Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center (PISVC).
