This is the formerly Papago Indian Tribe. They are related to the Mexican tribes, peaceful and sedentary. They were being exterminated by the inviding Apache. White man arrival saved them from certain extermination.
They now changed the name to Tohono O’odham (I guess their original name). I talked to some of the tribe members on few occasions, privately, they actually prefer to be called Papago. They hate being called Tohono!

Interesting. There were a lot of inter-tribal wars that we stopped. There are probably more “Original peoples” alive now than before Columbus.
