Beginning in the 1880s, the US government implemented programs toeliminate |vice| among the Tohono O'odham and toencourage the morals of the majority culture as the basis of a processof |Americanization.| During the next fifty years, tribalnorms interacted with - sometimes conflicting with and sometimesreinforcing - those of the larger society in ways thatsignificantly shaped both government policy and tribal experience. Thisbook examines the mediation between cultures, the officials whosometimes developed policies based on personal beliefs and genderbiases, and the native people whose lives were impacted as a result.These issues are brought into useful relief by comparing theexperiences of the Tohono O'odham on two sides of a border thatwas, from a native perspective, totally arbitrary.
