Newspaper article about Yaqui Easter ceremonies from 22 March 1964. This was one of the "Museum Piece" articles written by Bernice Johnston, museum assistant at the Arizona State Museum, and published weekly by the Arizona Daily Star from 1963 to 1971. The articles usually discussed some aspect of Southwestern archaeology, ethnology, or history, and announced week-long "mini-exhibits" on the same topic.
