Preface
Excerpt - Introduction:
None of these peoples originated in the Southwest; they came in migrations from Asia by way of the Bering Strait into America, small bands coming from time to time. Though they have lived in this country for centuries and are in a sense inherently part of this land of canyons and mesas, their cultures and habits derived from other backgrounds. They must be considered not only separately, each group apart from the others, but also with regard to their remote Asiatic ancestry.

Four groups of Indians dwell today in the Four Corners area - the only place in the nation where four states have a common boundary point - the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. These Indians are called the Ute, Apache, Navaho, and the Pueblos. Removed from the Four Corners region are other Indian peoples, including the larger Apache groups, the Yumans (Havasupai, Hualapi, and Yavapai) in northwestern Arizona; the Pimans (Maricopa, Pima, Papgo, and Yaqui) in the south-central part of that state; a few Paiute, just south of the Utah boundary, and some Chemehuevi along the Colorado river - these latter tow being Shoshoneans.
