PROJECT OVERVIEW
Sonoran Desert Journeys refutes the narratives of “terra nullius” and “discovery” using maps that visualize O’odham communities, water sources and routes of travel that existed long before Europeans were even aware of the existence of the land that we now call the United States and Mexico. The project also maps the historical and present-day erasure of communities, environmental resources, language and culture by the architecture of colonization and militarization on O'odham land at the US/Mexico border.
