	Native Flora
		Tlalayote [Funastrum pannosum], tzoris in Opata, is the name given to a small plant as well as its fruit which is about the size of a hen's egg and has a rough, coarse rind on the order of the shell of a snail.
		The herb of manzo grass [Anemopsis californica], guaguat in Opata, is decocted and used as a mouthwash to relieve the pain of toothaches.
		Magot in Opata, yerba de la flecha in Spanish [arrow's herb of the spurge family, Euphoria biloculare], is a beautiful small tree with luxuriantly green foliage and deadly milky sap which was formerly used to poison arrows, hence the name.

		Although they reward well the labor of the worker, the returns in the rest of the province are not so great, rendering 25 to 50 fanegas from one of wheat and yielding 100 to 300 fanegas of corn from one fanega of seed.
		Squirrels, ardillas or arditas, hore in Opata, are so numerous that they often devastate some crops while the crops are still young and tender, such as garbanzos, vetches and the like, if these crops are located near the area where they have their burrows.
		And there is a bird called churu by the Opata which the Spaniards call cardinal because its color and crest resemble the clothing and biretta of the empurpled princes of the Catholic Church.

		Santo Tomás de Servas was an Opata village that was destroyed by Jocomes and Sumas in 1690 and its residents distributed among Nácori Chico, Sahuaripa and San Mateo.
		Sinoquipe in Opata means “snake on the roof,” and it is possible that it may have some connection with macapsinos, glass-snakes, dealt with in section six of chapter iii.
		Banámichi in Opata means “rescued from the flood,” signifying that the inhabitants were moved to a higher plateau during a flood.

	Indian Tribes of Sonora (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It is customary among the Opatas and presumably among the other nations of Sonora as well that if one is to become a warrior he is required to participate in a few raids against the enemy and accompany some convoys across dangerous territory.
		In some Opata pueblos this tribe, which is believed to be the most submissive, practices a brutal custom: old women carrying burning sticks scorch parts of the captives' bodies, chiefly the thighs.
		Among some of the wilder Opatas and Eudebes it was customary to chop off a hand of a dead enemy, bring it to the village and treat it much like the scalp.

	Opatas
		La palabra Opata significa "gente hostil", "enemigos", en la lengua Pima, y parece que era el término usado por los Pimas cuando se referían a los Opatas.
		Las enfermedades dominantes entre los opatas son con especialidad las del aparato digestivo y producidas por el uso de alcohol, aunque es de hacerse notar que por lo menos, en tiempos de la colonia y aun posteriormente, los ópatas eran de los indígenas de sonora, los que bebían menos.
		Los temas de los que hablo en este trabajo sobre la etnia de los opatas son: el origen del nombre y la etnia, donde se ubicaban, sus actividades económicas, el hábitat, su tipo de gobierno, parentesco, expresiones culturales y como son físicamente los indios pertenecientes a esta etnia.

	Warsaw Voice - Down on the Farm... for Fun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Łopata believes agrotourism not only enables people from urban areas to reconnect with nature, but also represents a valuable weapon in the fight to preserve the environment.
		Łopata makes a distinction between agrotourist farms, in which one cultivates land with the use of conventional methods permitting the use of chemicals, and organic farms, which meet the criteria of ECEAT-International.
		Łopata's solution is to provide families converting to organic farming with a steady stream of visitors (mostly urban families from Western Europe) who pay for the opportunity to stay, eat, work and relax on the farms.

	The Flower in the Skull Excerpt
		My name at that time was Shark's Tooth from the Sea, which means "something precious." The Opata used to trade good baskets to the Seri for shark's teeth to decorate their clothes and baskets, and when I was born, my mother's family named me after this rare and beautiful object.
		Much of this land had once belonged to the Opata, had been where they grew corn and cotton and squash and beans, but because of the Apache and their appetite for blood, white and Indian alike, the Northern Opata had abandoned their rancherias and fled south to join their brothers in the mountains.
		This is the story of my people, the Opata, who once numbered as many as the saguaro of the desert, and who once farmed many rancherias and had many villages, but are now just a few, and scattered far and wide from their home and the constellations that knew them.

	Opatas in Sonora (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Opata literally means “enemies” they used to be called by their neighbors, the Pimas.
		The opata language has a striking resemblance of the pimas.
		The pimas were always the traditional enemies of the opatas, maybe because opatas deserted them; also, the Mexican government allied with the opatas in many occasions to fight other tribes.

		They were also primarily agricultural, and some researchers believe that when the Spanish arrived in Central Mexico the ancestors of the Opata were very close to developing their own urban, state-level culture.
		The Opata were also known as one of the few North American Indian tribes to use poison arrows.
		The Spanish frontier was still twenty or thirty years away from the Yaquis or the Opata in 1579, though Spanish expeditions had gone through the area from time-to-time, and the local Indians knew that something deadly lurked to the south of them.

	Tubac Through Four Centuries: An Historical Resume and Analysis
		The Tubac company at the terminal period of its existence numbered five ethnic groups in its complement: the Opata Indian scouts, criollo Spaniards of the provincial elite, upper and middle classes, a sizeable group of Spanish-Indian men, and a few mulatos and some moriscos.
		So he finally succeeded in recruiting Opata Indian scouts from outside the area to serve on a permanent basis as professional scouts.
		Most of this group were Yaqui or Opata Indians from farther south in Sonora who had been under Spanish control for a longer time and had therefore acquired more understanding of Spanish ways and in many cases more taste for Spanish than tribal life.

		Technical Abstract: A potentially new gene for resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in wheat was identified in the synthetic hexaploid parent of the W7984 x Opata 85 standard wheat mapping population.
		The synthetic hexaploid parent, W7984, was virtually immune when inoculated with six isolates of the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) from Indiana, North Dakota and the Netherlands.
		The genetic basis of the resistance was determined by testing 119 F10 recombinant inbred lines from the W7984 x Opata 85 cross.

		Technical Abstract: A newly discovered host selective toxin produced by the Stagonospora nodorum isolate Sn2000 was partially purified and used to map sensitivity using cytogenetic stocks and a segregating host population consisting of 108 recombinant inbred lines from the cross of the moderately resistant, toxin sensitive W-7984 and the moderately susceptible toxin-insensitive 'Opata 85'.
		The W-7984 X Opata 85 population was also used to identify the significance of this toxin in disease.
		Both cytogenetic stocks and genetic linkage data show the toxin sensitivity locus to be on the short arm of chromosome 1B.
