In 2021, the Cultural Resources Department at Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community completed construction of a new stand-alone 24,500 square foot cultural repository to house and care for tribal collections under the direction of the Huhugam Ki: Museum. In transferring the collections from existing storage areas, the staff addressed the need to build a better collections foundation to meet the tribal priorities and objectives for a cultural repository designed by tribal members.
