Ancient Roots Beneath America 250 | Tucson News

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, a journey through Catalina State Park reveals a deeper, older history — the Huhugam, “village people” who thrived here for centuries before European arrival. Guided by Bonnie Bray, visitors explore the Romero Ruins, marveling at ancient ballcourts, drought-resistant corn farming, and ingenious adaptations to the desert. This isn’t just history — it’s living heritage, with Tohono descendants still rooted in the land.
