Research and responses

Raphael Bear, from the Yavapai Nation, came to visit with objects from Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Reservation on 10 November 2014. Raphael said the black paint may have come from walnut trees. Walnut trees are used to make black paint. There are around 10-20 walnut trees in the vicinity of Fort McDowell. [MJD 10/11/2014]
