[GREETS AUDIENCE IN O'ODHAM]
So first of all, just my appreciation to,
of course, my collaborators and all of their wonderful ideas
and contributions to this overall project
and allowing me-- enabling me, actually,
to write about this area that the project started with,
the landscape of the Tohono O'odham
and particular the landscape and the people
along the International border.
And of course, my thanks to all of you
for being here this evening.
And of course, I want to give a special thanks
to many of my colleagues who were at a conference all day
today because saw some of them in the audience.
They had a long day, but I'm very appreciative that they
came over to the reading.
So--
