Summary "Aw-Aw-Tam Indian Nights: Being the Myths and Legends of the Pimas of Arizona" is a collection of myths and legends written in the early 20th century. The book presents the traditional stories of the Pima people, capturing their cultural heritage and ancient beliefs. The narratives are told from the perspective of J. William Lloyd, who seeks to preserve these tales through the interpretation of Pima Indian Edward Hubert Wood, as conveyed by his granduncle Thin Buckskin. The opening of this work details the author's journey to the Gila River Reservation, where he learns about the Pima culture and their oral traditions. The narrative describes the author's encounters with Edward Hubert Wood, his initial experiences in Arizona, and his interactions with various members of the Pima community. In particular, it highlights the significance of recording their myths before they are lost, introducing readers to the elderly storyteller, Thin Buckskin. As the author immerses himself in the world of the Pima people, he outlines the themes of creation, nature, and the profound connection their stories hold within their cultural identity.
