Resting in the harvest field — Qahátika. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View of three Qahátika women, seated cross-legged in a field of cacti at the base of a rocky hill: 'About forty miles due south of the Pima reservation, in five small villages, one sees a type of the true desert Indian — the Qahátika. When or why they separated from their Pima kindred on the Gila and wandered into this inhospitable desert is a question on which even Indian tradition is vague. Many years ago, they say, the Pima were living at Akichính, near the Picacho, when a large party of Apache made war on them and drove them away. The greater part went to the Gila and established the settlement at Sacaton; others, the ancestors of the Qahatika, went into the desert and made their homes there. One traversing this region would have cause to wonder how a human being could wrest from so barren a land the necessities of life.' (Curtis, Edward S., The North American Indian, volume 2, p.41)
