Stella Tucker - Remembering the Tohono O'odham elder
On January 9th, Tohono O'odham elder Stella Tucker passed away, at age 71, surrounded by her family. Stella was the public face of the annual saguaro fruit harvest in southern Arizona, a Tohono O'odham tradition she learned from her ancestors and passed on to her three daughters. This segment was filmed 1994 for the long running Arizona Public Media series ‘The Desert Speaks.’

I need to take part of this important ritual that my TO ancestors & my mother participated in every spring. I have family down in Sonora and some of my older cousins still to out and harvest. My heart is my people.
My mom was also a gatherer of Chollas, she is no longer alive. But I am so excited to see this video. Make more! This Tribe needs to share more. Be proud. You are awesome!
Thank you for the knowledge
