The Autobiography of a Papago Woman
2015 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Papagos or Tohono O'odham are a group of Native Americans who reside primarily in the Sonoran Desert of eastern Arizona and northwestern Mexico. "Tohono O'odham" means "Desert People." In this autobiography of one of their woman we learn how houses were built and food cooked, of war with the Papago's traditional Apache enemies, and of the purification of warriors; we are told of the importance of the young woman's first menstruation; of cactus fruit gathering, and of the brewing of cactus wine for the achievement of a culturally controlled drunken spell, among many other matters of interest.
