“Indians of Arizona," latest in a current series of publications from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, turns the spotlight on the State with the largest Indian population.
Names that ring through the history of the American Southwest crowd the 24 pages of this profusely illustrated booklet. Here are the Apaches, whose very name once brought terror to westward bound settlers; the peaceful Hopis of the sky-reaching mesa villages; the Navajos, now the largest Indian tribe; the desert-dwelling Papagos; the agrarian Pimas; and the canyon-dwelling Havasupais and Hualapais.
Arizona Indian tribes are grouped according to the four major cultures they represent: Athapaskan, Pueblo, Desert Rancheria, and Plateau Rancheria peoples. The booklet contains an historical sketch of each tribe, a section on contemporary social and economic conditions among the Arizona Indians, and a list of places of interest for visitors.
"Indians of Arizona” and other publications in the new series are available at 15 cents a copy from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. A 25 percent discount is allowed on quantity orders of 100 or more, if mailed to one address.
