    Traditional Use Study of Saguaro Fruit Gathering

Cultural Resource Studies

This study is specific to a traditional harvest camp in the west unit of Saguaro National Park. Park managers have recognized and accepted the traditional fruit harvest by the Tohono O'odham people since the land became part of the national park system. By documenting the history of the camp, its use, and the surrounding land as a traditional harvest area, this study will provide the park and the Tohono O'odham Nation with a stronger foundation for developing long-term agreements that will protect the traditional fruit harvest and its benefits to the park and the Tohono O'odham people.
