Tumacácori National Historical Park
Muuro Ki
Tumacácori National Historical Park contracted with representatives of the O'odham Nation to build a traditional Muuro Ki (mud house with an adjoining ramada) so that visitors could see the traditional way in which the O'odham lived prior to the arrival of the Spanish. Once the Ki was complete, it fell to the Park preservation crew to maintain and preserve it.
