+ The Tohono O'odham and Pimeria Alta +

As a resident of Arizona for almost 25 years my interest in Southwestern archaeology, art, and the history of its Native American people has been of central importance. For slightly more than 17 years I was the collections and archives manager for the Amerind Foundation Museum in southeastern Arizona, (at that time an archaeological research facility). It was while working at the Amerind that I developed a curiosity about the Tohono O’odham people and their relationship with their prehistoric ancestors the Hohokam.   

Produced by Arcadia Publishing - The Tohono O'odham and Pimeria Alta - utilizes almost exclusively historic documents from the exceptional collections and archives of the Arizona Historical Society in Tucson. With the help of AHS staff I was able to bring together a fascinating selection of 189 photographs and maps on the Tohono O’odham (formerly the Papago) and a land the Spanish called Pimeria Alta.

As an active and avid supporter and member of the Arizona Historical Society, I hope that this book will bring about additional interest in Arizona's remarkable history.
