Note: This is a federally-recognized reservation stewarded by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. The reservation spans approximately 890 acres of land near Picture Rocks, Old Tuscon, and Saguaro National Monument in Pima County, Arizona. It is comprised of 5 distinct Yaqui communities: New Pascua, Old Pascua, Barrio Libre, Marana, and Guadalupe. The Yaqui people, from whom the Pascua Yaqui Tribe descend, inhabited the Gila and Santa Cruz River Valleys for hundreds of years prior to European settlement. However, increasing settler encroachment on Yaqui territories, widespread Yaqui deportation in the early 1900s, and the Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920 contributed to the forced relocation of many Yaqui people to Arizona, the home of their current reservation. This reservation was first established in 1964, when Congressman Morris K. Udall introduced a bill transferring 202 acres of desert land to the Yaqui people. When the Pascua Yaqui Tribe gained federal recognition in 1978, its reservation boundaries were once again solidified. The reservation gained additional land in 1982, bringing it to its current acreage. |
