The Native American people who reside primarily in the Sonoran Desert of southeastern Arizona and northwest Mexico are known as the Tohono O'odham. Tohono O’odham means Desert People. The Tohono O’odham reservation is the location of the Quinlan and Baboquivari Mountains, which include Kitt Peak, the Kitt Peak National Observatory with its numerous telescopes and Baboquivari Peak. Baboquivari is a 7,730-foot (2,356- meter) granitic monolith located about 60 miles southwest of Tucson, Arizona. Part of the peak lies in the 2,900,000-acre Tohono O’odham Reservation, the second largest Indian reservation in the United States, while most of it lies in the Baboquivari Mountains Wilderness Area.Baboquivari Peak is the most sacred place to the Tohono O'odham people. It is the cen- ter of the Tohono O'odham cosmology and the home of the creator, I’itoi. According to tribal legend, he resides in a cave below the base of the mountain which is regarded by the O'odham nation as the navel of the world, a place where the earth opened and the people emerged after the great flood. Baboquivari Peak is also sometimes referred to as I'itoi Mountain. In the native O’odham language, it is referred to as Waw Kiwulik, meaning narrow about the middle.Baboquivari Peak was mentioned in the journals of Jesuit missionary Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino (1645-1711), who made many expeditions into this region of the Sonoran Desert. Beginning in 1699, Kino introduced Spanish culture and Christianity to the desert dwellers. He established at least twenty Spanish Missions in the area, most of which were in the Tohono O'odham nation. The Tohono O'odham tell the story that at the beginning of the Spanish conquest of what is present day Arizona, a certain Spanish officer and his men tried to dig their way into Baboquivari. Suddenly, the ground under them opened and Baboquivari swallowed them. This story has similarities to that of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado's search for the Seven Cities of Cibola and a place called Quivira, where, he was told, he could get his hands on unlimited quantities of gold. The gold had a way of disappearing while they were searching.Today, the mountain offers a strenuous climb for experienced hikers. It has a waist which was overcome at one time through the use of ladders. Today's mountain climbers get past the indentation that encircles the mountain by using ropes where necessary.
