Preparation for publication of documents relating to the Southern Arizona O'odham and Pee Posh People and their interactions with colonial Spain and early México. (36 months)

This project represents a collaboration between the Documentary Relations of the Southwest (DRSW) program and the four O'odham and O'odham-Pee Posh (Maricopa) communities of southern Arizona, focusing on O'odham-Pee Posh interaction with Spanish and Mexican people and institutions as reflected in the Spanish and Mexican documentary record. Introducing O'odham and Pee Posh scholars to the editing process, the project will culminate in a published collection of carefully selected Spanish and Mexican documents presented in Spanish transcription and English translation, accompanied by O'odham and Pee Posh commentary as well as scholarly annotation and introductions.
