Some of the earliest historical drawings and photographs provide a fragmentary look at a long-gone defensive village occupied by San Xavier del Bac’s O’odham residents. Together these images reveal the character of a village that had been lost to history. Having moved the village south sometime between 1772 and 1780, during the Franciscan period, the new Wa:k O’odham village took on a form that differed substantially from the traditional Sobaipuri O’odham layout and house style that characterized the earlier village to the north. Structures were for the first time constructed of sun-dried adobes and formed rows of rectangular houses positioned in a square in what is now the church plaza. Passersby casually commented on this village, verifying the character and life span of this fortified O’odham village.

San Xavier Del Wa：k的18世纪晚期强化村庄在早期的意象和文字中得以展现

一些最早的历史图画和照片不完整地展现了圣哈维尔·德尔·巴克（San Xavier del Bac）的奥阿德姆（O'odham）居民所占领的一个长期消失的防御村庄。这些图像共同揭示了一个已被历史遗忘的村庄的特征。新村Wa：k O'odham村在1772年至1780年之间的某个时间向南移动，新的Wa：k O'odham村落的形式与传统的Sobaipuri O'odham村落的布局和房屋风格大不相同，北。建筑物第一次是由晒干的小鹿建造的，并排成一排排长方形的房屋，这些房屋排成正方形，现在是教堂广场。路人随便对这个村庄发表评论，证实了这个坚固的O'odham村庄的特色和寿命。
