The Desert Smells Like Rain,
By
This review is from: The Desert Smells Like Rain: A Naturalist in O'odham Country (Paperback)
My wife and I found it interesting how the Tohono O'odham used rainfall alone to successfully subsist in the desert. We were also fascinated with the knowledge and use of herbs to maintain their physical well-being and to ward off disease. We found some of the folk tales amusing. Having lived in the Tucson area, we found we could identify with the book. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The author did an excellent job of capturing the essence of the Tohono O'odham (Papago) culture and lifestyle.

This review is from: The Desert Smells Like Rain: A Naturalist in O'odham Country (Paperback)
I purchased this book as required reading for a Cultural Anthropology course I took. It's a short book but is a insightful view into the culture of the O'odham people. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars

I really liked the book. It was about real O'odham (formerly called Papago) Native Americans and how they lived in the Sonoran Desert.
