  • Surficial Geology of the Eastern Gila River Indian Community Area, Western Pinal County, Arizona
    Surficial Geology of the Eastern Gila River Indian Community Area, Western Pinal County, Arizona by Gary Huckleberry ArizOf1a Geological Survey OpeQ-File Report 92-7 July 1992 (Maps Revised June 1994) Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey COGEOMAP Program This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards Introduction Geologic maps have traditionally emphasized bedrock rather than unconsolidated sediments, the latter usually being lumped into the generic category of "Tertiary and/or Quaternary alluvium". This tradition has left many areas, especially those within the Basin and Range physiographic province, incompletely mapped. Recently, however, there have been systematic efforts to map unconsolidated surficial deposits at small (1:500,000), intermediate (1:100,000), and large (1:24,000) scales (Demsey, 1989; Field and Pearthree, 1992; Hunt, 1978; Jackson, 1990). The impetus for surficial geologic mapping lies in the fact that humans have a vested interest in knowing the distribution and nature of late Cenozoic geological deposits and landforms. Most of the Southwest's urban areas including Albuquerque, El Paso, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson lie on basin fill. Consequently, there is an interest in the physical properties of the substrata, the distribution of industrial minerals, and the potential for flooding and other geologic hazards. These types of information can be obtained from surficial geologic mapping (Pearthree, 1991). In addition to engineering concerns, other research-oriented information can be gained as well. Because surficial geologic mapping is based on temporally discrete geomorphic surfaces, it provides insight into climatic and tectonic mechanisms of landscape evolution (Bull, 1991).

  • For Immediate Release October 15, 2020 GILA CROSSING COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROJECT AWARDED NAFOA's DEAL of the YEAR (Sacaton, Arizo
    Contact: June M. Shorthair Director Communications & Public Affairs Office P: 520-562-9715 C: 520-610-6218 [email protected] For Immediate Release October 15, 2020 GILA CROSSING COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROJECT AWARDED NAFOA’S DEAL OF THE YEAR (Sacaton, Arizona) – Last week, the Gila River Indian Community received the “Deal of the Year Award” during the Native American Finance Officer’s (“NAFOA”) virtual Fall Conference. The award is given to tribal governments for those projects that are innovative and utilize financing and governmental resourcefulness to address longstanding issues in Indian Country. The award was given to the Community for the Gila Crossing Community School construction/leaseback program. The school was constructed and financed utilizing the section 105(l) leasing program that is part of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. The Gila Crossing Community School was the first project to utilize this leasing program and now serves as a model for infrastructure development for Indian Country. Utilizing this program, the new Gila Crossing Community School opened in August of 2019. Since then, the Community has moved forward to use this program for the existing Casa Blanca Community School by entering into a lease for the existing school facility last week. Payments from that lease will help fund the new construction of the Casa Blanca School. A virtual groundbreaking for the Casa Blanca Community School occurred on Monday, October 12th with a recording of the groundbreaking available shortly. Governor Stephen Roe Lewis accepted the award on behalf of the Community along with Lt. Governor Robert Stone and Treasurer Bob Keller.

    Hau’pal O’otham word for red tail hawk The red tail hawk was selected to be the namesake of the healthcare facility because of the bird’s cultural significance and symbolism to the Gila River Indian Community and other Native American tribes. The idea of the hau’pal or red tail hawk originated from the location, as Hau’pal Health Center is nestled in GRIC’s District 4 along the northern boundary of the Community and near Queen Creek and Old Price Roads. Of the many GRIC cultural stories that exist, one is about the red tail hawk, known as a guardian of the northern border. It is traditionally held in high honor by Gila River The Gila River Indian Community is the largest Native American Community in the Phoenix area and is Indian Community members, spiritualists, and home to the Akimel O'otham (Pima) and the Pee Posh (Maricopa).
