Having done the reading, I would say the wuestions remain in many ways the same. However, now with more of an idea of what the focus is to be on the paper, some new ones can be added tot he mix. How do the sacred sites demonstrate the relationship to landscape? In what ways is the culture inherently changed by disruption in the sites, and how is cultural change shown through changes in the sites? How much are the O'odham tied to their land?

As we have discussed, the sacred sites are of the utmost importance as a representation of the O'odham beliefs. The disruptions of these sites (like at Kitt's Peak) demonstrates some of the most significant post-contact changes in the O'odham himdag.
