A dwelling group of the Papago Indians is shown in the tenth model The type is that of the Sonoran region. The Papagpo Indians are of Piman stock, inhabiting Pima County, Arizona, and the State of Sonora, Mexico. They dwell in dome-shaped grass houses, in which a frame of mesquite poles is fastened together with yucca twine, covered with long grass and mud, and protected with stalks of the ocotilla. Other outbuildings are the kitchen circle, the pole-supported shelter, and the ruined house showing structural features. The food of the Papago is chiefly vegetal, the staple being the beans and pods of the mesquite tree. They are clever potters. The Papagp wear little costume, the modern dress being of European or modified European pattern. The men formerly wrapped skirls about their loins, and the women were clad in fringed petticoats of shredded bark and leaves.
