Scottsdale and Salt River Pima –Maricopa Indian Community by Joe Szabo, Szabo Group

Scottsdale and Salt River Pima –Maricopa Indian Community Along the border of Scottsdale, Arizona, to the central and southwest, is the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.  Visitors can learn the fascinating history of the Pima and Maricopa people at the Hoo-Hoogam Ki Museum.  Hoo-Hoogam Ki, which loosely translated means House of Those Who Have Gone is completely constructed of Adobe and desert plants and offers a wide variety of historical artifacts, antique photography, art along with the occasional local artist demonstration.  Visitors can also try Native American foods in the museum dining area which makes this an education and entertaining way to learn about the local Native American populations. The Talking Stick Golf club offers spectacular greens with even more spectacular desert views of the surrounding mountains.   With clear blue skies and deep greens, the golf club is a treat to the eye and the sport.   The community also offers two casinos: Casino Arizona at Talking Stick and Casino Arizona at McKellips. Both places have great restaurants, live entertainment and full casino action. As you can see, we love where we live work and play in Scottsdale, Arizona so for more information about the lifestyle and housing market contact www.scottsdalerealestateteam.com. by Joe Szabo
