History, culture, and religion should be respected and preserved. The first of my deleted posts was about a trip I made to Arizona. One of the places I visited was the San Xavier del Bac Mission. It is located outside of Tucson in the San Xavier district of the Tohono O’odham Nation and is known locally as “The White Dove of the Desert.” The mission (still in use) is over 200 years old and is registered as a National Historic Landmark.
