I'm sharing a paper that I wrote about the story of Pia Machita, a Tohono O'odham elder who led his village in resisting military conscription from 1940-1941.
It is a powerful story and one that brings to mind other moments of Indigenous resistance to the draft, including the Oklahoma Green Corn Rebellion.
FYI- the paper was first written for a class at Tohono O'odham Community College, but I did some rewriting on it after I turned it in.
