For the past three years, Lucero served as a Research Assistant for the Hopivewat Learning Center, providing support for the planning, fundraising and construction of developing a tribal museum. Lucero resides on the Hopi reservation and is an active member of her community; she believes in carrying the weight of her people in this tireless but rewarding endeavor to maintain Hopi culture, keep her children full in all capacities and remain humble for what she has. <a href="https://youtu.be/Mk3SeTaJYRM" target="_blank">Watch Lucero’s lecture via YouTube</a> <img style="margin:5px;width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;height:232px;" class="" alt="Colleen Lucero" src="/parkssite/MediaAssets/PKS_Pueblo_Grande_Museum/PGM_Colleen_Lucero_Photo.jpg" /> For more information about Pueblo Grande Museum’s virtual programs and events visit <a href="/parks/arts-culture-history/pueblo-grande" target="_blank">PuebloGrande.com</a> or call 602-495-0901. --- Pueblo Grande Museum is located on a 1,000-year-old archaeological site once inhabited by the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People (Hohokam) located just minutes from downtown Phoenix next to Sky Harbor International Airport.
