Commissioned as a textbook for tribal schools and endorsed by the Tribal Council, a document-based history of the southwest American tribe long known as the Papago. Traces the challenges they have faced both from within and without the tribe from prehistoric times through their contacts with Apaches, Spaniards, Mexicans, and Anglo-Americans to their present tribal government which has been effective in asserting their rights in the Anglo world.
This book marks the culmination of fifteen years of collaboration between the University of Utah's American West Center and the Tohono O'oodham Nation's Education Department to collect documents and create curricular materials for use in their tribal school system. . . . Erickson has done an admirable job compiling this narrative.—Pacific Historical Review
