Yaqui

The Yaqui, Hiaki, or Yoeme, are a Native American people of Arizona and Indigenous people of Sonora Mexico. They speak a Uto-Aztecan language. Their homelands include the Río Yaqui valley in Sonora, Mexico, and southern Arizona in Southwestern United States. They also have communities in Chihuahua and Durango, Mexico. Many Yaqui in Mexico live on reserved land in the state of Sonora. Others formed neighborhoods (colonias or colonies) in various cities. In the city of Hermosillo, colonies such as El Coloso, La Matanza, and Sarmiento are known as Yaqui districts; Yaqui residents there continue Yaqui cultural practices and language. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe, based in Tucson, Arizona, is the only federally recognized Yaqui tribe in the United States. More than 13,000 Yaqui are citizens of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Individual Yaqui people live elsewhere in the United States, especially California, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas.
