Back in the early 1970's, when I was fresh from my last tour in Vietnam, the Army sent me to Univ of Arizona for grad school. We spent a lot of time in the Sonoran Desert -- never realized how beautiful the desert is.

We also discovered the Papago Native Americans -- now the Tohono O'odham -- and their baskets -- we have a collection of some fine Tohono O'odham baskets.
