The Sonoran Desert is the most bio-diverse desert in the world. The Santa Cruz River Valley in southern Arizona offers a varied landscape of mountains and desert with perennial water sources that have supported life for more than 12,000 years and continuously for more than 4,000. The edible plants found here continue to be a source of sustenance and the knowledge of this Valley's first inhabitants offer us a plan for future sustainability.
"Edible Foods of the Sonoran Desert," the second installment of our Cultivating Identity series which explores the association between food cultivation and cultural identity in the Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area of southern Arizona. This 3,300 square-mile region is one of America’s longest continually inhabited regions, with traces of human occupation extending back more than 12,000 years and evidence of continuous farming and settlement for more than 4,000 years. Ingenious methods of food sustenance and cultivation were developed to sustain the Tohono O'odham and their ancestors, and this short film reveals why it is critical to keep these practices and traditions alive.
