In the late 1970s, the National Park Service staff at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument concluded that the historic American Indian cemetery at Quitobaquito Spring needed restoration. The graves and markers were deteriorating badly. Following consultation with the Tohono and Hia-Ced O’odham, it was decided to relocate the graves, note all burial items, and record the names of those buried there, as well as interview other tribal members who had lived there or who had known persons who did. Fillman Childs Bell, daughter of a Hia-Ced O’odham who once lived at Quitobaquito, was hired to do the interviews and assigned to be senior editor. She was searching primarily for genealogy and geography, who married whom, and where did they live. The report gathered what it could, but found that much of the information was missing from the unwritten memories for the usual reasons: They forgot, didn’t have time, weren’t asked that question, or were reluctant to tell all they knew. The final report does note, “However, there is in the interviews a significant amount of historical narrative, personal remembrances, and cultural information. To preserve this information, these interviews are presented as they were recorded during four weeks of travel visiting elderly Papagos in October and November
