The Tohono O'odham are probably not Irish. They are probably closely related to the Pima/Papago peoples. What do the Pima have to do with sheets?
The Tohono O'odham may be the largest American Indian Nation. They are likely to have been in this land longer than the Navajo. They also may have cultivated the best dry country bean known to Woman.
Have you seen the Tohono O'odham Cultural Center and Museum? I would like to. The Museum is about 70 miles from Tucson in Topawa, AZ about 7 or 8 miles south by southeast of Sells, AZ. Organ Pipe National Park is very near. It's an interesting area to cross the boarder into Mexico. An old Texas Ranger thought it was almost as interesting as the crossing at Big Bend.
"As I See It Today" could be the title of this new iteration of my main blog. The "It" would then be the following themes with which I intend to deal here: ~ history ~ politics, economics, government ~ family tree ~ people, places, ~ culture, society ~ dialogue and a bit of me

O'odham aren't Irish. I used to call them Pima/Papago.
One of them once convinced me that there were good AA meetings on the res and that they once grew the best dry country beans in the world.
A Reservation of theirs is on the US/Mex boarder.
They may need help in dealing with the illegal drug market and the great demand for those drugs on this side of the boarder.
However, they have been fearful, with good reason, of "help" from the US government.
