I hear from people new to Arizona often complain that it is a new city without the deep history they are used to back East where they migrated from. The truth is that Arizona has a fabulous history that pre-dates the East coast by quite some time. The Native American history found in Arizona is almost unrivaled anywhere else. There is a great resource in Downtown Phoenix and North Scottsdale called the Heard Museum. If you have not been there and think that Arizona has no history, do yourself a favor and visit to be enlightened.

Never understood the need to support the local arts or music scene. Feels like I’m giving money away for something that’s not worth it.
Be good and I’ll gladly give you my cash.
Being excellent is the best way to get support. I think you know I agree with that. I think that the Heard Museum could be better, but I think for the price of admission it is definitely worth going. Especially if you don’t you aren’t familiar with the history and culture of Arizona.
Thanks for pointing out that there’s more history here than just what white European people have been doing.
