""Notes on the Indians of Sonora, Mexico"" is a book written by Ales Hrdlicka, an anthropologist and physical anthropologist who was one of the pioneers in the study of indigenous peoples in North America. The book is a detailed account of Hrdlicka's fieldwork among the indigenous peoples of the Sonora region in Mexico, including the Seri, Yaqui, Mayo, and Pima tribes. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the indigenous cultures in Sonora. Hrdlicka describes the physical characteristics of the people he encountered, as well as their customs, beliefs, and way of life. He also discusses the history of the region, including the impact of Spanish colonization and the Mexican Revolution.
