HOME NATIVE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHWEST
WE ARE HERE: ARIZONA'S FEDERALLY
RECOGNIZED TRIBAL NATIONS
Arizona is fortunate to have within its borders
22 sovereign tribal nations whose people have
called this land HOME for thousands of years—
long before there was a United States and long
before there was an Arizona. After centuries
of colonization, warfare, forced removal and
dispossession, the federal government created
reservations, consisting of a small portion of
traditional tribal lands. Today, approximately 28
percent of Arizona land is tribal land.
Within the HOME exhibition that encompasses the
region of the Southwest, we have featured special
artworks made by people from the 22 federally
recognized tribal nations of Arizona. Many of those
artworks were created within recent decades,
underscoring the ringing statement, We Are Here!

TONTO APACHE TRIBE
Federally Recognized: 1972
With headquarters in Payson, the 110 enrolled members
of this tribe are descendants of the Dilzhe’e Apache band
that historically lived in the Payson area. They were taken
from their homelands and began a 25-year exile that
ended with people gradually returning to the Payson area
from the San Carlos Apache Reservation, only to learn
that much of their land had been taken by settlers. At 85
acres, their reservation area is the smallest of Arizona’s
tribes and among the most recent to be federally
recognized. With a small land base, the Mazatzal Casino
Tonto Apache Tribe and Resort is an important part of the tribe’s economy. To

The San Carlos Apache Tribe is one of four Ndee (Apache)
groups in Arizona having 1,834,781 acres in Gila, Graham,
and Pinal counties in southeastern Arizona. Historically,
several bands of Apache and Yavapai were taken from
their traditional homelands in Arizona and New Mexico and
forced to reside at San Carlos. Today, more than 12,200 are
enrolled members of the tribe, residing on lands with alpine
meadows and forests. Cattle ranching is important to the
tribe’s economy. Visitors to San Carlos can learn more about
the tribe by visiting the San Carlos Apache Cultural Center,

The Yoemem (Yaqui people) live in two countries: along ■ & more
the Yaqui River in Sonora, Mexico, and in the United States,
particularly Arizona. Movement into Arizona was the result of
the Mexican government’s military campaign in the late 1800s
to forcibly remove the Yoemem from Sonora. Thousands of
people were deported to plantations on the Yucatán peninsula,
while many fled to the United States. Today, more than 18,000
live in the United States and more than 30,000 live in Sonora.
Although their reservation was formally established by the U.S.
Congress in 1964, the tribe did not receive federal recognition
until 1978. The Yoemem are located in seven communities:
New Pascua, 15 miles southwest of Tucson, where the tribal
government is based; Old Pascua and Barrio Libre, also in
Tucson; Yoem Pueblo in Marana; Guadalupe, bordering Tempe;
