Autobiography of a Papago Woman
The Papagos or Tohono O'odham are a group of Native Americans who primarily reside in the Sonoran Desert of eastern Arizona and northwestern Mexico. "Tohono O'odham" means "Desert People". This autobiography of one of their women provides valuable insights into their cultural practices and way of life.
We learn about the construction of their houses and the preparation of their food. The text also describes the conflicts between the Papagos and their traditional Apache enemies, as well as the purification rituals performed by their warriors.
Of particular significance is the importance placed on the young woman's first menstruation, which is described in detail. The narrative further delves into the gathering of cactus fruit and the brewing of cactus wine, which is used to induce a culturally controlled state of intoxication.
Throughout the autobiography, we are granted a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives, traditions, and beliefs of the Papagos or Tohono O'odham people. The work offers a rich and authentic portrayal of their cultural practices, shedding light on their deep connection to the desert environment they call home.
This 2015 reprint of the 1936 edition presents the original work in its entirety, without the use of Optical Recognition Software. The facsimile faithfully captures the essence of the primary source, allowing readers to engage with the material in its truest form.
The Papagos or Tohono O'odham have a rich and vibrant cultural heritage, and this autobiography provides an invaluable window into their world. Through the personal account of one of their women, we are introduced to the intricate tapestry of their customs, beliefs, and lived experiences, offering a unique and captivating perspective on a resilient and adaptable people.
