These desert people were converted to Catholicism by early Spanish missionaries, yet they retain much of their earlier lifeway as a means of continuing adaptation to their desert environment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is a restudy of speeches and ritual information collected by anthropologist Underhill beginning in 1931 and published in her book \u003ci\u003ePapago Indian Religion\u003c\/i\u003e (1946). It describes the Native--as opposed to the Christian--side of the yearly ritual cycle of the Tohono O'odham, showing how seven rites form a system of meanings that grew from the relation between these people and their desert homeland. The rites presented focus on the summer wine feast, salt pilgrimage, hunting, war, and flood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth M. Underhill, Donald M.
