The Tohono O'odham in History

The University of Arizona Press
This book marks the culmination of fifteen years of collaboration between the University of Utah's American West Center and the Tohono O'oodham Nation's Education Department to collect documents and create curricular materials for use in their tribal school system. . . . Erickson has done an admirable job compiling this narrative.—Pacific Historical Review
Winston P. Erickson received a B.A. in 1968 and an M.A. in 1976 in European history from the University of Utah.

Since 1918, he has worked at the American West Center, a research branch of the University of Utah, where he developed curricular materials for the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and assisted in a similar project for the Tohono O'odham. He has also researched traditional land-use patterns of the Ute Mountain Utes and of the Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico. He participated in the establishment of the archives for the Tohono O'odham Nation, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and the Pueblos of New Mexico.

Erickson is the program administrator for the American West Center and is extensively involved in collecting Native American oral histories.
