Visitor S Guide To Arizona S Indian Reservations

ARIZONA'S INDIAN COUNTRY!--Twenty-eight percent of Arizona, the 6th largest of the American states, is INDIAN COUNTRY. Arizona was Indian Country thousands of years before the first Europeans set foot on the North and South American continents, and it is still Indian Country today! Seventeen tribes live on 23 Reservations that encompass a total of over 20 million acres that include some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery on planet Earth. Many of Arizona's most amazing attractions-cultural, geographic, historical and recreational-are in its Indian Country! In fact, Arizona owes much of its fame to several serendipitous circumstances: the great Grand Canyon, its spectacular desert and mountain scenery, its climate, and its Indian nations. This is a historical, economic, social, cultural and recreational guide to the state's Native American people...an amazing story of their survival in the face of incredible odds and their growing importance in Arizona.

American Indians today [1965] are bidding actively for a slice of the Nation's ever growing tourism industry. The country's earliest residents now welcome visitors to their reservations in increasing numbers, to fish, hunt, and camp outdoors, while resting and relaxing amid scenic splendors. This is a list of campgrounds and other tourist facilities operating in reservation areas and includes brief facts about location, basic accommodations, recreational opportunities, restrictions, and any tribal permits required for hunting and fishing, in addition to those required by states. The directory is arranged by state.
