As I understood it, the local tribe had no interest in the fort because it wasn’t connected with their tribe’s history, but with the history of another tribe.
I thought, that with a small investment of Casino money, they could have revitalized it and turned it into a major tourist attraction.
But they were indifferent.
I looked it up. The Fort was used against the Tonto Apache until 1890, then turned over to the Yavapai Apaches.
Funny how some cultures are more equal than others.
