Understanding our native american friends

This book gave me a great understanding of the Native American folks who lived in Tucson long before me. For me the essence of the book and these sweet kind people was the 'Papago Woman' saying that when the children are playing and something gets broken then something is broken. That way of child rearing transcends everything I've ever learned.
