Parker, Arizona

The Colorado River Indian Reservation is unique in the sense that it is occupied by four (4) distinct tribal groups: Mohave, Chemehuevi, Navajo and Hopi, each with its own separate culture and traditions. The Library offers a vast selection of reading materials, including historical archives and selections relative to the four distinct tribes. The museum contains the largest collection of Chemehuevi baskets in the world, excellent examples of Mohave pottery, beautiful Navajo silver-smithed jewelry, intricate Hopi Kachina dolls, and many artifacts from the Reservation.
