AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper consists of two parts. Part 1 describes the history of Christianity among the Pima-Papago, while part 2 places today's fiestas in the context of the rest of today's (i, e., late twentieth century)Christianity. The key point of the first part is that the ancestors of today's people Christianized themselves without the aid of missionaries in roughly the fifty years from 1850-1900, before their reservations were fully established. Therefore, today's practices are a folk creation, or at least stem from a fifty-year era of folk Christianization (p. 133). This is the basic premise of this article, which is explained more fully in the text.
