No, actually it is NOT on Indian land. The "feel good" marketing material in the room might make it seem like it is on Indian land, possibly even saying that the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation is in the area or "adjacent" or some such other word, but I can guarantee you that HR GR is not on an Indian Reservation. I am very familiar with the area. The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation is actually about 2 miles to the East. The Indian Reservation is East of Pima Rd. Everything West of Pima Rd is Scottsdale. The Indians rarely let the White people build on their land. No residential houses (although there is a trailer park that might be non-Indian) as well as VERY limited commercial development by non-Indians. They let the 101 Highway be built on their land and then they took advantage and let a mall (the Pavilions) and a WalMart be built on their land as well. And of course 2 big giant Indian casinos right next to the highway to bring in income. In addition, there is one gas station as well as a school (Scottsdale Community College) that they somehow allowed to be built on their land. But HR Scottsdale is DEFINITELY not on their land.
