Not the actual historic human beings—an electrifying idea—but the two legendary personages who were the subjects of a master's thesis being researched and written in our midst. To advance in her teaching job and for her own satisfaction, my mother, Edith Sykes Lowell, was completing a master's degree in Spanish at the University of Arizona. Meanwhile we got to know Lola Casanova and Coyote Iguana quite well. Their spirits sat at the dinner table with us and joined us around the fireplace at night, which was where, after a day of teaching, our mother used to sit and study. A large Spanish dictionary usually lay open on the hearth beside her, and now and then a spark would fly out and singe a word or two, so various small sooty holes persisted for the life of the dictionary. From family camping trips to the Gulf of California, we knew the setting: the Sonoran desert seacoast of northern Mexico, inhabited mostly by fishermen and Seri people. It was not an easy place to live but exciting to visit, although we had to stay home during our parents' research trips to Sonora. And the names \"Lola Casanova\" and \"Coyote Iguana\" were utterly delightful. So was their dramatic story (ambush—abduction—then what?) which came to seem as fascinating to young '60s kids as the swashbuckling Man from U.N.C.L.E. or the antics of the Beatles on TV. And whether they are considered as figures in history, Mexican politics, anthropology, literature, folklore, pop culture, melodrama, sociology, cinema, mythology, or any combination of these, Lola Casanova and Coyote Iguana remain charismatic characters, and their story still casts a spell.

Nabhan and Laura Monti, Desemboque del Sur, Sonora </li> </ul> <h2>Preface</h2> To place Manuel Monroy's commentaries in context, keep in mind that he was not a direct descendant of Coyote Iguana, but an astute keeper of his own people's oral histories, with some knowledge of Sonoran history from other sources as well. While he was conversant with the history of the entire Ávila family, he was keenly focused on what happened to Lola and their son Victor in the years after the altercation at El Huerfano. He too knew one of four songs attributed to Coyote Iguana, which were passed down across generations. At times, Manuel confounded details in the lives of Jesús and his son, but later corrected himself. <h2>Manuel Monroy's Account</h2> Jésus Ávila was the name that we use for who you call Coyote Iguana, who was 100% from Comcaac bloodlines, even though he spoke some Spanish. We called his son Victor Teepol in our Cmiique Iitom language, [End Page 500] or Liebre Alasan (Winged Jackrabbit) in Spanish. Victor was tall, with long skinny legs that could carry him fast through the desert; both of his parents were tall as well. Jésus Ávila was born on San Esteban Island among the Cofteecöl Comcaac Large Chuckwallas Island People whom we generally call Xiica Hast Ano Coii (They Who Live in the Mountains). The same people also lived on the mountainous southwest side of Isla Tiburón (Tahejöc), which is where he mostly grew up as a boy. Lola was the blue-eyed, fair-skinned daughter of a Spaniard who had come to Sonora. Lola's family was not from Mexico but from Spain. Her father had promised her in marriage to a military man named Encinas, maybe Genaro Encinas. She was traveling to be married when the incident occurred. That was the first time that Jésus Ávila and Lola Casavova encountered one another. She was on her way to Hermosillo in a stagecoach accompanied by older women. Lola was the only young woman aboard. They were in two buckboards or stagecoaches, each one pulled by two horses, perhaps two days out from Hermosillo when they were attacked by a group of what they called \"wild Indians\" that included young Jésus Ávila. The Seri jumped the guards on horseback and fought them. No other tribes were helping them with the attack. At least one soldier guarding the coaches was killed as well as one Seri warrior. Another civilian man—her father, guardian, or prometido (fiancé)—may have been killed or injured, though some say he escaped. It seems that Lola herself ","PeriodicalId":43344,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOUTHWEST","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140299543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mumme (bio) and Elia M. Tapia-Villaseñor (bio) </li> </ul> Among the enduring challenges and, some would argue, the unfinished business of elaborating a comprehensive regime for managing shared waters along the U.S.-Mexico boundary, the problem of reaching bilateral agreement on groundwater looms large. The desirability of, indeed the compelling need for, such an agreement if transboundary aquifers are to be managed sustainably has long been recognized, initially addressed in the deliberations that produced the landmark 1944 Water Treaty, and formally established by binational agreement in 1973. And yet, nearly 50 years since the International Boundary and Water Commission's Minute 242 of the treaty obliquely raised the need for a comprehensive treaty on groundwater, that goal remains unrealized. This paper aims to advance understanding of both the causes of this diplomatic impasse as well as emerging opportunities for progress toward binational management of these essential, even critical, water resources for the U.S.-Mexico border region. We first consider the history of binational diplomacy on groundwater, from the deliberations leading to the 1944 Treaty through the protracted binational dispute on salinity that generated the concerns expressed in Minute 242 in 1973. We then look at the binational discourse on groundwater since the salinity dispute to ascertain what limited progress has been made since Minute 242 was signed. We observe that a long diplomatic hiatus is broken with a few focused studies on aquifer quality and with a 2006 initiative, the U.S. Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Act (TAA-Act), and the subsequent binational engagement through the U.S.-Mexico Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program (TAAP). We then review the diplomatic progress that is evident in Minute 242's formal commitments, the diplomacy that [End Page 362] produced the agreement, and such diplomacy as has followed in the post-1973 period, particularly that related to TAAP. These incremental and cumulative gains, we argue, have now set the stage for binational engagement on joint management of transboundary groundwater along the border. <h2>Groundwater Diplomacy: Origins and Concerns</h2> Binational concern with groundwater is a relatively modern affair, driven by the advent of electrically powered pumps that became available to border farms and communities in the 1930s (Mann, 1963). Groundwater is unmentioned in either the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo or the Gadsden Treaty establishing the basic contours of the U.S.-Mexican boundary, nor is it referenced in subsequent boundary and water agreements prior to 1944.

Kroeber's Visit to the Seris in 1930, as Recalled by Roberto Thomson Encinas </li> <li> Cathy Moser Marlett (bio) </li> </ul> Roberto Thomson Encinas (1888–1969), a rancher and amateur historian living in Sonora, Mexico, facilitated a six-day visit to the Seri Indians for anthropologist Alfred L. Kroeber in March 1930, and in which Thomson accompanied him. The visit, which included a trip to Tiburon Island made in Seri boats, was the basis for Kroeber's 1931 monograph on the Seris. Thomson later described his experience in Spanish in an account based on his memory, written following the death of Kroeber in 1960.1 Thomson considered himself a friend of the Seri people in the early twentieth century,2 at a time when their numbers were drastically reduced because of epidemic disease and military campaigns against them. Serving as a liaison between the Seris and the Sonoran government, he helped maintain peaceful relations as well as channel material assistance to the Seris. It was he who accompanied ethnographer Edward H. Davis on seven visits to the area between 1922 and 1939. Thomson, who had family connections with nineteenth-century Sonoran ranchers living within the traditional Seri territory, and with his own ranch there as well, recorded vignettes of personal and Sonoran history both in writing and in graphic illustrations. While some described his own interactions with the Seris, others involved Seri history collected from different sources. One manuscript was a compilation of notes from which the following is taken. Though written many years after Kroeber's visit, and even with Thomson's predilection to embellish history, the piece is interesting in that it is not only a firsthand (though brief) account of Kroeber's visit to the Seris, but it also includes a description of an unplanned visit to an isolated ranch during the trip, providing an intimate look at early Sonoran ranch life.

For readers familiar with Arizona history and landscapes, this was not a strange title at all, since Bisbee then, as now, exuded a curiously alluring presence in the state. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Virgil Hancock III's newest book, Bisbee: The Alchemical City of the Borderlands. In this most welcome publication, Hancock has turned his photographer's eye once again to a human landscape. The volume continues a series of photographic publications Hancock began several decades ago, most notably his volumes on Las Vegas and on Chihuahua, Mexico, but in this case the photos are supplemented by his own scholarly written essay on Bisbee and its history. The latest book is a timely and compelling addition to the literature on Arizona's mining heritage and an incomparable portfolio of photographs. The book combines extensive written essays with a rich collection of Hancock's visualization of Bisbee supplemented by reprints of images from the early days of the town and its mines. His approach differs from that of most historians: he offers a series of written essays enlivened by a powerful photographic ensemble of images of Bisbee, historic and contemporary—several of them modern photos taken at the same location as those of the 19th century. The result is a visual recapitulation of the mining history of the town now better known for its artists and counterculture. This compelling collection of photographs and background descriptions forms a setting for his account of the great mining strike of 1917 and its aftermath. [End Page 397] In his written essays, Hancock traces the lengthy history of Bisbee, a town founded on copper extraction. It combined the excesses of a mining boomtown with the social fracturing expected when the cheap labor of a heavily non-white and immigrant workforce maintains the machinery of corporate profits. Many images of the sharply delimited class structure of the western United States emerge from his photographs and corresponding historical narrative he employs, most effectively, I must add. Hancock skillfully juxtaposes the images of early Bisbee society and mining infrastructure (and the violence to the natural landscape it entailed) with the contemporary artistic culture and counterculture of the city. He also reminds us that Bisbee is practically a border town, a geographical oddity often overlooked.

Even the notion of the \"Southwest\" is fluid, youthful, still working itself out through processes of politics and policing, from immigration reform to the increasing militarization of the southern border. The American Southwest is culturally indebted to the Mexican Northwest, for everything from the names of its streets and the food eaten to the illegal narcotics consumed by Anglos who now lay claim to the land. The Southwest is an unsteady amalgamation of Mestizo, Anglo, and Native cultures, still in flux, still learning how to coexist without bloodshed. It is a concept as well as a place, struggling with contradiction, with history, and with its own imagination. And no place is more quintessentially \"southwestern\" than Arizona. Arizona, its desert drenched in startling fluorescent purple and orange sunsets, is a place of extreme contrasts. It is home to both one of the largest and fastest-developing metropolises in the United States, the urban sprawl of the greater Phoenix area, and thousands of square miles of unpopulated, unique ecosystems where the myth of a barren desert wasteland is laid to rest in blooms of vibrant, colorful flora. It is a land where the cherished figures of the cowboy, the vigilante, and the outlaw have transcended their geographical constraints to inhabit the global imagination, immediately recognizable thanks to Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood by way of Hollywood. There can be no mistaking that it is also a place of violence, in the imagination and in its bloody and war-torn history. A modern history of Arizona—downright recent when compared to the likes of the Revolutionary War or Civil War, or even with World War I—was fully built upon, planned out, and paved only after Pearl Harbor. [End Page 302] There are bricks in the walls of bars in Boston hundreds of years older than the great state of Arizona, although the administrative presence of the Spanish, along with their garrisons and jails, dates to the late 17th century. An indelible part of Arizona's historical tradition is the prison. From the notorious Yuma Territorial Prison, constructed in 1876, to the modern-day correctional bloat that boasts the fifth highest rate of incarceration in the country, Arizona has always been a place that believes in hard time. Today, Arizona spends one billion dollars per annum on maintaining its prison system.1 That is nearly 10 percent of the state's entire budget.

Scholars, most recently including Brett Hendrickson in his monumental study The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó: America's Miraculous Church, have traced the complex ethnic relations in the history of the shrine, which is known for healing earth drawn from el pocito, a hole in the ground in the Santuario's side room. Hendrickson focuses on the concept of \"religious ownership\" and competition between ethnic groups, including Hispanos, Tewas, genízaros, and Anglos. But rarely have the stories that have been told about the shrine, and how they have changed, been analyzed to show how ethnic relations have unfolded over time.1 Within the last century, and especially since Stephan F. de Borhegyi's short 1953 study, it has become increasingly common for those writing about the Santuario to present the case that the practice of rubbing or consuming holy dirt for healing purposes has Tewa Pueblo origins, and to place el pocito within Tewa Indian cosmology as a sipapu, a sacred hole of emergence,2 without critically tracing the development of the myths (or origin stories) of the shrine, which was built by Hispano Penitente Bernardo Abeyta in 1816. Interacting with origin myths from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, and with New Mexican social history from the same period, in this paper I argue that Anglos, using the Tewa version of the shrine's origin, have credited Tewa Indian religion and culture with the shrine's healing powers over and against Hispano Catholic religion and culture, and paradoxically claimed religious ownership of the site.3 Among other groups, non-Catholic Anglos and New Agers are relatively new pilgrims to the site; if, as Victor and Edith Turner claim, pilgrimages reinforce existing beliefs,4 then the Santuario has expanded beyond its original Hispano Catholic [End Page 314] identity in order to draw pilgrims and tourists from other walks of life. It is natural for religious shrines and their accompanying myths to change over time; as Turner and Turner (1978) have written, pilgrimage sites are subject to historical change, and thus \"accrete rich superstructures of legend, myth, folklore, and literature,\" while the foundational symbols, which give meaning to the pilgrimage, change as well, as \"[n]ew meanings may be added by collective fiat to old symbol vehicles.\"5 However, this</e","PeriodicalId":43344,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOUTHWEST","volume":"189 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138819754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ana and Gabriela are seeking asylum in the United States. Ana pleads with us to help her contact her 18-year-old daughter, Esmeralda, who has been detained in a long-term immigrant detention facility after their separation by US authorities. Gabriela had remained quiet during our conversation, but as the topic turns to her older sister, she begins to audibly cry. It becomes clear in this moment—as in most others at the shelter—that the bureaucratic process of seeking asylum in the US is one created to instill fear and uncertainty in those who seek refuge in this country. Forced to leave their home in Guatemala due to violent threats against their family, Ana and her daughters traveled for 20 days before arriving at the US-Mexico border. The journey was long, traumatic, and exhausting, leaving them in poor health and in need of medical care. All three experienced vomiting and diarrhea and symptoms of dehydration, heat exposure, and lack of adequate food and water, which were common experiences among shelter guests.
