Papagos in Arizona seek off reservation living and education
About 7,000 Papagos of 11,000 live mostly off the reservation in Tucson and surrounding areas. A UA anthropologist says off-reservation populations are key for progress while officials discuss education, discrimination, and adapting to white culture. Government and tribal leaders urge better schooling and jobs. McFarland favors Indian bloc voting and aid for Native progress.
