[edit] explanation

this article needs references. And it needs some things explained such as:

  • how does this region relate to the North American Southwest? Is it a subregion of the Southwest?
  • what is the origin of this term? who coined it?
  • has the definition of Aridoamerica changed?
  • what peoples are considered Aridoamericans?
  • how popular is this term? (for example, the term is not prominent in the Handbook of North American Indians?)
  • are peoples of this region who lived near good water sources excluded?
