Enjoy it while visiting Palm Springs in California
In the Desert Hot Springs area, Cabot Yerxa, a homesteader, was inspired by the Hopi Native American tribe to create a remarkable four-story pueblo with 35 rooms. He dedicated years to this project, utilizing materials salvaged from the Coachella Valley and repurposing abandoned cabins. To build the pueblo, Yerxa skillfully crafted sun-dried bricks in an adobe style. People are attracted to this residence not only for its exquisite craftsmanship but also for the fascinating collection of Native American art and artifacts it houses. Additionally, visitors can admire souvenirs from Cabot’s travels and his own artistic creations. A notable feature of Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is Waokiye, a towering sculpture standing at 22 feet tall. This impressive artwork, made from donated Sequoia redwood, represents a “traditional helper” in the Lakota language.
