The Tohono O'odham and Pimeria Alta (Images of America: Arizona)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The Tohono Oâ€™odham have lived in southern Arizonaâ€™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 Oâ€™odham, a name literally meaning â€œdesert people.â€ Living within a region the Spanish termed Pimeria Alta, the Tohono Oâ€™odham, from the time of Spanish Jesuit Kinoâ€™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 Oâ€™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 Oâ€™odham traditions, culture, and identity.
