Daily life and activities in the mid-1970's

Photographs of the daily life and lifestyle activities occurring on the Tohono O'odham reservation in the mid-1970's.

This series of eleven images documents the daily life and lifestyle activities occurring on the reservation in the mid-1970's. Education, housing and government were all modernizing during that time. A new high school was built in the early 1970's which meant that the older students no longer had to leave the reservation for higher education.
