The Tohono O'odham have lived in southern Arizona's 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 O'odham, a name literally
meaning "desert people." Living within a region the Spanish termed
Pimeria Alta, the Tohono O'odham, from the time of Spanish Jesuit
Kino's 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 O'odham 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 O'odham traditions, culture,
and identity.
