'O'odham Place Names - Meanings, Origins and Histories - Arizona and Sonora

Tucson, Arizona: SRI Press. New. 2020. Second Edition. Hardcover. Green and black cloth boards with gilt lettering and illustration. New. "This encyclopedia of O'odham place names in southern Arizona and northern Sonora is magisterial in scope, a labor of love by a man who spent more than five decades with O'odham friends learning their language and extracting from them their knowledge of native place names for settlements and geographic features. It is safe to assert that no other Indian reservation in the United States has had its native place names this thoroughly documented. It is a study in O'odham linguistics, history, and folk lore, one sure to be deeply appreciated by future generations of O'odham as well as by scholars of O'odham culture" (Bernard L. Fontana, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center). Shipping will cost extra due to weight of item. ; Color Illustrations; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 1002 pp . (Inventory #: 022308)
