I just received this updated map of Migrant's Deaths in the Sonoran Desert along the Arizona-Mexico Border for 2010. You can see the increasing deaths in the Tohono O'odham Nation. The indian reservation is populated with migrant trails, and despite the deaths occurring on their land they won't allow humanitarian groups to drop water anywhere on the reservation. In general they view that the water encourages more migrants to travel across their land.
