Its unique boundaries border Mexico, Arizona and California. Thriving along the banks is an invasive and dangerous plant called salt cedar. Its roots drink deeply, helping to lower the water table and adding large deposits of salt to the soil. As its roots and branches grow, its prolific and highly flammable branches threaten wetland ecosystems and create a significant fire hazard to neighboring communities when wildfires occur. It is also choking out the native willow, cottonwood, and mesquite trees the Cocopah people use for cultural and spiritual purposes. Firefighters from Fort Apache Agency remove invasive salt cedar brush from the Cocopah Reservation as part of the Southern Border Fuels Management Initiative, 2019.

  • VI Mexican Indigenous Groups of the Border Region
    VI Mexican Indigenous Groups of the Border Region John A. Peterson and Michael Wilken-Robertson ABSTRACT The indigenous cultural heritage of Mexico’s border region includes native tribes—defined as relatively small, rural populations living on communally held ancestral lands—and migrant indigenous groups—which are larger populations of indigenous descent living in urban areas or agricultural settlements, usually without a community land base. This study examines the state of the environment of both native and migrant groups within the Mexican border region, which is defined as extending 100 kilometers (km) south of the U.S.-Mexican international political boundary. Just as this definition is problematic when considering ecosystems, watersheds, and other natural configurations, it likewise leads to arbitrary distinctions when discussing tribal nations of the border region. For example, the territory of some groups, like the Papago, extends beyond the 100-kilometer zone and the people maintain constant contact with other closely related tribal nations beyond the border region. Other groups, such as the Paipai and the Kiliwa of Baja California, live outside the 100km range but are closely tied culturally, socially, politically, and economically to indigenous and non-indigenous populations within the range. The Pai, Yaqui, and Pima comprise closely-related groups on both sides of the border but their entire territories are north and south of the 100km designation. For migrant indigenous groups the concept of the border region is even more problematic because their residences may vary anywhere from a few hours or days in one place to permanent settlements of transplanted ethnic colonias (neighborhoods) in urban areas such as Ciudad Juárez or Tijuana.

  • Pima County, Arizona
    Profile: Pima County, Arizona Pima County, the second largest of the four original counties, was created in 1864 and included approximately all of southern Arizona acquired from Mexico by the Gadsen Purchase. Settlement of the region goes back to the arrival in the 1690s of the Spanish who encountered Native Americans already living there. About the middle of the 18th century, silver and gold were discovered and prospectors from Mexico entered the area in droves. The latter part of the century saw expansion of mining and ranching in Pima County and an increase in population, despite the threat of attack from roaming bands of Apaches. The Royal Presidio de San Augustín del Tucson was completed by 1781, and it remained the northern-most outpost of Mexico until the arrival of American soldiers in 1856. From a population of 395 in 1820, Tucson has grown to be the second largest city in Arizona. It has always served as the Pima County seat and was the Arizona Territorial capital from 1867 to 1877. Tucson is home to the University of Arizona and offers many historical and cultural attractions. Just south of Tucson is the Mission of San Xavier del Bac, founded in 1697 by Father Kino and still in use today. Within Pima County are two cactus forests – Saguaro National Park to the northeast and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in the southwestern portion. Although greatly reduced from its original size, Pima County still covers 9,184 square miles. It ranges in elevation from 1,200 feet to the 9,185-foot peak of Mount Lemmon.
