Description: For thousands of years, the Mohave's lives have been shaped by the desert in which they live and the Colorado River. They call themselves the Pipa Aha Macav, which means "people who live along the water." This book introduces readers to the culture and traditions of the Mohave Indians. Students will enjoy reading about how these skilled farmers and tough warriors have survived for so long in the harsh desert conditions they call home. This important topic in the history of California is covered in detail with age-appropriate text and beautiful, full-color photographs.
