*** About Hohokam Civilization: The Hohokam were an ancient Native American culture centered in the present-day Sonoran Desert in Arizona. They flourished from approximately 200 to 1450 AD, excelling in agriculture, particularly in their development of extensive irrigation canals which turned arid lands into fertile valleys. The Hohokam are believed to have been the forebearers of the modern Pima and Tohono O'odham peoples, and much of their legacy can be seen in these descendant communities. Their engineering skills were not limited to irrigation; their architectural prowess is evident in the remains of their pueblos and other ceremonial structures. The Hohokam vanished around the 15th century for reasons still debated among historians and archaeologists. Their departure left behind a rich archaeological record that provides insights into their sophisticated society.
