Of Earth and Little Rain: The Papago Indians

"This text reveals [Fontana's] interaction with his [Tohono O'odham] neighbors and how geography and climate define life and culture in this piece of dry land. Fontana's words introduce the reader to people and provide an excellent overview of tribal history, but no notice of this book can overlook John P. Schaefer's photographs . . . [which] give the reader a feeling for what day-to-day life is like . . . for the 12,000 or so people who call Papaguería their homeland."-Journal of Arizona History
