Using primary sources from the Arizona State Museum, this collection highlights the role of Indigenous women of the Tohono O'odham Nation in traditional foodways as well as their involvement in contemporary effort to return to traditional foodways. It also provides general information about Tohono O'odham foodways. The Tohono O'odham reside in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. The Arizona State Museum is on the land and territories of Indigenous peoples. Today, Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, with Tucson being home to the O'odham and the Yaqui. This collection is a great resource for teachers, students, and/or parents.
