DescriptionThe Tohono Oodham have lived in southern Arizonas Sonoran Desert for millennia. Formerly known as the Papago, the people, acting as a nation in 1986, voted to change the colonial applied name, Papago, to their true name, Tohono Oodham, a name literally meaning desert people. Living within a region the Spanish termed Pimeria Alta, the Tohono Oodham, from the time of Spanish Jesuit Kinos first missionary efforts in the late 1680s, have been witness to numerous governmental, philosophical, and religious intrusions. Yet throughout, they have adapted and survived. Today the Tohono Oodham Nation occupies the second largest land reserve in the United States, covering more than 2.8 million acres. The images in this volume date largely between 1870 and 1950, a period that documents great change in Tohono Oodham traditions, culture, and identity.
