AZ Speaks - “Growing in the Desert: The History & Culture of the Tohono O’odham” by Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan

Many Arizonans call the Sonoran Desert and its striking landscapes home. Long before our urban centers and city lights lit up the dark desert skies, the Tohono O’odham were cultivating and shaping the land with abundant agriculture—from squash and beans to corn and cotton. For generations they passed down their rich knowledge and culture grown from their connection to the desert. Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan shares about the history and culture of her people, the Tohono O’odham.
