The Tohono O’odham are a Native American people of the Sonoran Desert, residing primarily in the U.S. state of Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora. Tohono O’odham means "Desert People." The federally recognized tribe is known as the Tohono O'odham Nation.
The Tohono O’odham tribal government and most of the people have rejected the customary English name Papago,[needs IPA] used by Europeans after being adopted by Spanish conquistadores from hearing other Piman bands call them this. The Pima were competitors and referred to the people as Ba:bawĭkoʼa, meaning "eating tepary beans." That word was pronounced papago by the Spanish and adopted by later English speakers.
The Tohono O'odham Nation, or Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation, is a major reservation located in southern Arizona, encompassing portions of Pima County, Pinal County, and Maricopa County.

My family lives both in Southern Arizona and Northern Sonora. I still remember the old ways in spending time in Sonora. I'm trying to reconnect with my ancestral ways.
Tucson is a Holy land
The narrator says there are no rivers or streams in the desert, but that was not true. There was the Santa Cruz River and the Rillito River that used to run year round. So too, the narrator says that the cactus must store up its water from short, heavy rains in the summer. Yet, the historic weather pattern consisted of three rainy seasons per year, the largest was the summer monsoon, but there was also a week's rain daily in December just before Christmas, and Spring showers of about two weeks daily in March. From this historic rain cycle, the Sonoran desert was green all year long. I know, I'm a Tucsonan born and bred, a lifelong Arizonan that knows our history and weather patterns. I would imagine there will be other errors presented in this film; that's unfortunate.
Sorry I am confused, Sonoran Desert was green all year long? Why is it a desert?
I was told my grandmother was Papago but can’t find any info.
You know this is straight hijack
@@michaelhurtado4400it’s not exactly a desert it’s kinda a degraded ecosystem from cattle farming
Yeah, notice the white teacher showing the children a us navy picture book. Casual removal of history like it was a good thing
Basically they brought cows and horses that immediately trashed the area, trampled over everything, shat in the water, absolutely destroying the land
I am tohono odtham,i read alot of books and study my grandparents past, as far as origin we were actually not tohono odtham, and another tribe thought to be aztecs came from mexico and we breeded creating the modern tohono odtham people,however you could try to find the tribe but they were expected to have died off by possible extinction of colonizers, anyway we thrived for a while as tohono odtham, and when the spainyards came over they made the first major church to convert natives to catholism ,this church area which is now san xavier in Tucson arizona,so if you really think about it tucson originiated from a spanish catholic church, boarding schools didnt really come into play only because we tohono odtham and other papago tribes had no problems,However in text i remember it saying the ideal of savages ,or native enemeis or nemesis to spainyards only came to play when word across americas spread of natives rebellion giving natives a bad reputation,..In arizona as far as native wars go, we had no problems besides the pima revolt of 1751, but please Remember that how the englishmen or the british converted native Americans,is the same thing the Spainyards did , so when boarding schools started up spanish became part of local arizonan language not to mention the wild west times,but its actually proven if you read the book of the tohono odtham language, and pima language its very different, the tohono odtham alphabet includes more letters than the pima alphabet because Spanish letters have been altered into tohono odtham language,so if you also think about tribe differences the akemiel odtham is more naturally and more toward how the language is suppose to be, while the other odtham tribes languages and alphabet was altered , such as the sand tribe,and desert tribe, btw i didn't mention the tohono odtham is 1 tribe the akimiel odtham which is the river people,and the 3rd i dont know how to say but is the sand people, which are the ones that live practically on the mexico border, i have a mexican friend and i remember saying the word coyote in my language but I remember he said he thought i was. Cursing at him in spanish , i think its pretty cool we share some spanish letters but also shows in plain sight of how colonization of many years changed how modern generation is now,the white cowboys Columbus and the calavary army didn't show up till the wild west times of The late 1700's and early 1800's so most part back in the day it was probably more barren than civilized despite spanish colonization.
My Grandmother was born on the Rez. Would like to find my missing family
That can't be too hard to find out. I'm half Tohono O'odham myself, and I can at the very least trace my great grandmother's ancestry.
@@alliandrablack7751 That is awesome, I want to fly down and visit the Rez and look up her information and take my mom. Hopefully soon.
I think though it could be kind of tricky because my uncle got me the names of my great great grandparents from my mother's side of the family and my grandmother had two grandfathers with the last name of Pina

Hi - could you please note the date when this was filmed?
Yeah it was before the 80s because the tribe changed their name to tohono o'odham instead of papago, tried to research but I think I'll have to go to their cultural museum to find anything valuable
Sounds like 50s or earlier for sure. But it's in color so I'd say early 60s?
Check the copyright date that is often found in the title sequence in the beginning of the film, or at the end. It's been a while since I've seen this film, but going off memory of how the film was made, I would guess it was made in the 1940s or '50s at the latest. *_Another commenter said 1941._*
My father was raised in the northern reaches of the res.
Steve Hastings which res?
He referred to it as the Pima Res (?). On Google Maps it’s now known as the Gila River Indian Community. Up near Blackwater. Do you know the area?
@@stevehastings8336 my Great grandfather was born in Tucson Arizona before it was made a state, and his father was born in Senora Mexico.
@@stevehastings8336 Pima are the Akimel O'odham/River people, and Papagos are the Tohono O'odham/Desert people.
1941
These are not the original people. Offsprings of the conquistadors, which are modern day so-called Mexican. The original people had curly fro-type hair. Propaganda at it's finest. The truth has vanished, hopefully one day it will be resurrected.
@My Nameis you know what Olmec (Mexican) look like. LMAO. The lies will never be the truth. I'm autotchounous to America.
@Eagle Flies I'm confused because you say so. GTFOH, maybe you rode the magical slave ships. I know who am with proof, your teacher told you who you are. Offsprings of colonizing immigrants may fit you well. The truth won't change because you believe a lie. You don't want to know because it's painful go to the library of Congress. Look at the real Indians, not the fake euro-indians. You and them are trespassing on my ancestors land.
@Eagle Flies go look at old tobacco ads from the 1800's and tell me what you see. You are a fake.
My grandfather was born on the rez . I always wondered where we got the fro type hair lol so if this true thank you
@@sonia83vegas if you research the etymology of the word slave you will begin to understand. Cognitive dissonance is prevalent in America. America by early Europeans pilgrims was always describe as the land of Negros. The world's other lands people know this. They still to this day pray to so-called black deities. Never be ashame of your curly hair you have the blood of the original people in you. Don't worry about the outside noise. The imposter are being exposed.
