The Papagos are so little known to outsiders despite the fact that their reservation is the second largest in the United States says something about their humility. It also says something about the average Papago's sense of self because in reality, the average Papago sees no point in being public. |

| Publisher Description: "This text reveals Fontana's] interaction with his Tohono O'odham] neighbors and how geography and climate define life and culture in this piece of dry land. Fontana's words introduce the reader to people and provide an excellent overview of tribal history, but no notice of this book can overlook John P. Schaefer's photographs . . . which] give the reader a feeling for what day-to-day life is like . . . for the 12,000 or so people who call Papaguer a their homeland."--Journal of Arizona History |
