This Land is Home:
In the mid-1800s, the westward advancing United States began to beset Native peoples in Arizona. Many were forced to relinquish their land or be killed. Today's Indian reservations include only a fraction of the lands once used. Nevertheless, more Native peoples remain on parts of their traditional lands in the Southwest than anywhere else in the contiguous Untied States.
Despite relocations and attempts to impose a foreign way of life, each group retains much of their rich culture, tradition, and history. |
