The day offers fun for the whole family, beginning with the 5K Color Fun Run/Walk. The Color Fun Run/Walk takes off right at 8:00 a.m. from the Youth Council Building (the old fire station) and ends at the museum. Register on-site starting at 7:30 a.m. on April 7.
After the run/walk, come back to the museum, located at 47685 N. Eco Museum Road, Maricopa, for a full day of activity. Performers and artists will demonstrate cultural dances and artwork from the Ak-Chin Indian Community and other Native American Communities.
This year’s Him-Dak Museum Celebration theme, “Honoring our first language,” honors the goal of the Ak-Chin Indian Community to help keep the original language alive among the generations.
The Him-Dak Celebration fills the day with fun and informative activities, while also observing the vital role of the museum in preserving the history of the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
Come for all or part of the day, and you’re sure to enjoy your time! For more information, contact the Museum main office, 520-568-1350.
