In them, the anthropologist and folklorist discusses beliefs concerning evil and lost mines in Arizona, respectively. The third recording is a circa 1990 lecture given by Granger at the Desert Botanical Gardens docents meeting. The lecture is entitled "Native Lore of Arizona: Plants & Trees," and concerns Indigenous tribes' uses and lore regarding plants and trees of Arizona.
