  • CAMP VERDE YAVAPAI-APACHE INDIAN RESERVATION Community Profile Prepared by the ARIZONA DEPARTMENT of COMMERCE
    CAMP VERDE YAVAPAI-APACHE INDIAN RESERVATION Community Profile Prepared by the ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Camp Verde Yavapai-Apache Indian Reservation is in central Arizona's Verde Valley. The reservation is populated by the Yavapai and Tonto Apache Indian Tribes, inhabitants of this area for centuries. President U. S. Grant established the reservation in 1871, but abandoned it in 1875 and its people were moved against their will to the San Carlos Apache Reservation. A migration back to their traditional homeland began immediately after 1900. A reservation area was re- established in 1909 and additional lands acquired over the years. Today, the 636-acre reservation is comprised of five separate parcels with headquarters at Middle Verde.

Reproduced with permission of the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment (formerly the Natural Resources Law Center) at the University of Colorado Law School. A publication of the Colorado River Research Group “An independent, scientific voice for the future of the Colorado River” TRIBES AND WATER IN THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN (JUNE, 2016) Tribes with reservations in the Colorado River Basin currently have quantified rights to divert about 20 percent of the basin’s annual average water supply, while over a dozen others still have outstanding claims. Yet, as the Colorado River Research Group has noted before, existing uses of basin water already exceed reliable supplies, even though many tribes are not fully using the water already allocated to them. Understandably, tribes want and deserve to enjoy the full benefits of their rights. Other water users, however, are concerned about how tribal water rights and uses integrate with already existing and planned future non‐Indian uses of basin water.

  • We Are Here! 22 Federally Recognized Tribes in Arizona Organizing Points and Topics to Mention
    We Are Here! 22 Federally Recognized Tribes in Arizona Organizing Points and Topics to Mention • We tried where possible to select some more current art work where we know the artist’s name. • We added a few pieces but mainly worked with existing art. • Direct people to the visitor guide where more information is provided. • Mention tribal web sites (urls included in the visitor guide) so visitors can go online to find out about the tribe in the community’s own words. Or they can go to the ITCA web site (everyone but Navajo) • Mention that many of the tribes have cultural centers and museums and information about those can be found on the web. Repeated themes • Creation of reservations due to conflict arising from westward migration • Discovery of gold both in California and later in Arizona were precipitating events • Those people who moved over a wide area, seasonally, were the most vulnerable. Myth of empty land. • Important legislation • Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 that protects and preserves traditional religious rights and cultural practices. (Zuni Pueblo) • Arizona Indians granted the right to vote 1948 (Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation) Pueblo of Zuni Nahohai family jar with rainbird, Federally Recognized: 1877 1983 • Explain that this New Mexico Pueblo since 1984 has its sacred land recognized in Apache County, Arizona. 17sq. mi. • The sacred land is Kolhu/wala:wa where the spirits of Zuni who have died go to be with the Kokko under a sacred lake. • An example of how important shrines and sites were excluded when reservation boundaries were established.
