Alexander Soto’s excitement and joy was evident as he showed a visitor the new Labriola National American Indian Data Center space inside Hayden Library on Arizona State University’s Tempe campus.
There, said Soto, the center’s director, is the huge wall mural that represents O’odham land recently painted by Indigenous artists Thomas “Breeze” Marcus (Tohono O’odham) and Dwayne Manuel (Akimel O’odham).
Expanded staff, new space helps connect Labriola Center with Native American community
