Tumacacori 3

An example of a traditional home of the local Tohono O'Odham Indians and their ancestors the Hohokams for over 2,000 years. These stick and plaster huts are still used by 2,000 members of the tribe today. Inside the dwelling it remains many degrees cooler or warmer than outside due to the insulation of the thick walls and ceiling. On display at the Tumacacori Mission historical site.
