The origin stories of the O odham (Pima) Indians of Arizona are renowned for their beauty and complexity but have been collected in only a handful of books. This volume the third full O odham telling of ancientness to appear in print brings together dozens of stories collected in 1927 by anthropologist Ruth Benedict during her only visit to the Pimas. Never before published, they helped inspire Benedict to write her groundbreaking book Patterns of Culture. The Pimas represented a way of life that Benedict at first called Dionysian after hearing the stories, narratives, songs, and oratory collected from various tellers.
