Wanted to learn how to use the slide show feature, so took a walk in the Steele Indian School Park in central Phoenix, where is located the long closed Phoenix Indian School itself, taking a series of shots of buildings being refurbished and landscaping being done.
Although the park is a city operation, I don't know who is funding the work on the grounds. They've been at it for years; I'm surprised it's taken so long. Of at least six structures, only one looks finished. You'd think with all the casino money being infused locally there'd be some support, but a colleague just said that, on account of the hard feelings about Bureau of Indian Affairs policy regarding forced deculturation and such, they (the tribes) might not necessarily be interested.
The park anchors a lot of future planning with regard to redevelopment. The new light rail is immediately adjacent. The park, about a half-mile square, affords the premium open space within the prospective density along the line.
Wasn't able to find a good explanatory web site. This is informative.
Most of the building were put up in the 1920s. The fountain is newly installed.
Ha. Trouble getting this page format to support a slide show.
Looks like you've got to link to a host; we'll see how it goes.

I wouldn't be so presumptive as to make much commentary. Not only is it a work in progress, but what's past is quite controversial. Is Old Glory a "central unifying principle" or significant of conquest? Is it not as much a totem as as any "tribe's?" Well, as you can see, no one is there.
Decided not to link to the slide show on the hosting site as it gives entree of my album to strangers. I should have to tidy that up too! You really have to be careful here.
Figured out how to get the slide show running from the other side. Don't see yet how to add text to post. Put it on to see how it presents.
By the way, it appears your hosting site album can be accessed by posting photos. Bear that in mind as well.
