View of double cross decorated with artificial flowers, Old Pascua, Tucson, Arizona, United States (from a series documenting the Yaqui community of Old Pascua)

1981

One of a series of forty-four photographs of the Yaqui community of Old Pascua by Lorne Greenberg.

The photographs document the relationship of household and church in the Yaqui community.

The photographs were exhibited at the Arizona State Museum in 1983. The CCA collection includes ten photographs from the series (PH1989:0147 - PH1989:0156).

In 1978, the San Ignacio Yaqui Council applied for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), which had been established by the United States Government in 1974. The community first received CDBG funding in 1979/1980. Since that time, most of the owner-occupied houses in Pascua Village have been torn down and new homes have been built.
