Visitor's Guide to Arizona's Indian Reservations!

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 to the world’s largest Ponderosa pine forest.
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,
Visitor’s Guide to Arizona’s Indian Reservations is a historical, economic, social, and cultural 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.
All of Arizona’s Indian tribes have amazing stories of their arrival in the region—some of them more than 10,000 years ago—but none or more remarkable than that of the Hopis, who now live on and at the foot of high rock-bound mesas in northern Arizona. Their oral history tells them that their ancestors arrived in the New World by large rafts, not the land-bridge that once joined Alaska and Siberia…and that they were the first human beings on both the North and South American continents.
The book makes a wonderful gift for residents and visitors alike and could be used to help promote the state’s important tourism industry.
