Tohono O'odham Tribe
Text z Príbehu
- Hey traveler! We are the Tohono O'odham people of Arizona.
- To the south of the Gila River is where most of us ,Tohono, live.
- Most of the Tohono people lived in hilly areas away from rivers
- Sorry that i haven't introduced us sooner. I'm Tash and this is my friend Hema
- Hi traveler and welcome to our village
- We speak an Uto-Aztecan language, like the Pima.
- Well I guess I'll start off with our history. We Tohono are also known as Papago, Papatotus, or "Bean people"
- Since we live in a dry region of Arizona we migrate seasonally or we would move with neighboring tribes because of water shortages.
- We adapted to our land by creating reservoirs, ditches ,and dikes.
- But before Father Kino came religion was almost entirely lost.
- Because of a Jesuit priest named Eusebio Kino who visited in 1687, we practice Catholicism.
- In 1830, Tohonos started using calendar sticks that we used to carve circles and dots to mark important events.
- Father Kino's teaching led the building of the San Xavier del Bac. The del Bac is protected and preserved in modern times.
- We would even cut notches in the stick to mark nonreligious happenings
- Us Tohonos had healers called shamans that could cause and cure sickness.
- Modern day Tohono O'odham have a program that educates their communicates on various infectious diseases and how they could prevent them.
- On another note our customs consisted of harvesting desert plants like mesquite, agaves, and cactus fruit.
- We also planted summer crops like corn, squash, devil's claw, and pinto and tepary beans.
- Approximately 24,000 Tohono live off and on 4 Arizona reservations. They make their living in service and manufacturing sectors.
- In the early 21st century more than 20,000 people have been identified as Tohono O'odham descent.
- We hope you stay longer next time. Goodbye traveler!
