This fence restricted O'odham access to health care and stores on the northern side of O'odham lands, on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

Un paso firme en mantener viva la memoria y los derechos internacionalmente reconocidos de la nación tohono o'odham, desde mediados del siglo XIX. Y firmados también por el acuerdo 169 de la OIT.
