For the past twenty-five years, author Bernard L. Fontana has lived close to the western edge of the San Xavier Papago Indian Reservation.  During that time, he has studied Papago history and culture and was an expert witness in the tribe’s successfully prosecuted claims case against the U.S. government.  An ethnologist and field researcher at the University of Arizona, he brings warmth and an understanding to his account of contemporary Papago life.
