Twenty-eight percent of Arizona, the 6th largest of the American states, is Indian country.
Arizona was Indian country thousands of years before the first Europeans set foot on the North and South American continents, and it is still Indian Country today.
Seventeen tribes live on 23 Reservations that encompass a total of over 20 million acres that include some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery on planet Earth, from the Cochise Stronghold in the southeast corner of the state to the world’s largest Ponderosa pine forest on central and northern plateaus.
Many of Arizona’s most amazing attractions—cultural, geographic, historical and recreational—are in its Indian Country! In fact, Arizona owes much of its fame to several serendipitous circumstances: the great Grand Canyon, its spectacular desert and mountain scenery, its climate and its Indian nations
Visitor’s Guide to Arizona’s Indian Reservations is a historical, economic, social, cultural and recreational guide to the state’s Native American people…an amazing story of their survival in the face of incredible odds and their growing importance in Arizona. The book makes a wonderful gift for residents and visitors alike and could be used to help promote the state’s important tourism industry.
