Personal notes from a young Cocopah woman: When I started kindergarten in our village, I remember our class was taught out in the open air under a big Palo Fierro (iron wood tree). I love going to school there. My teacher was my mom's cousin, Prisciliano Gonzalez Sainz. -Amparo "Amy" Smith, Cocopah, 2006 |
