The Kaibab Band of Paiutes and Pipe Spring National Monument have jointly opened a museum repository containing artifacts and archival material of early Mormon settlers and of the tribe, as reported by the Associated Press on May 25. The $2 million facility, 11 years in the planning, is located near Fredonia in northwestern Arizona.
The tribe and monument have shared museum space at the park's visitor center, but now they have a separate repository to preserve materials. Under their 25-year partnership, the monument agreed to provide the building and the tribe the land.
The project is the first time the National Park Service has joined in this kind of collaboration with a tribe.
