The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is a 950-member Native American tribe which calls Central Arizona’s upper Sonoran Desert home. Our tribe, which once roamed over 12 million acres, now owns just 24,000 acres in northeastern Maricopa County 35 miles from Phoenix.
The Fort McDowell Yavapai, the “Abaja” – “the people” are one of three Yavapai tribes in Arizona. The Yavapai are among the Yuman-speaking peoples, which also include the Hualapai, Havasupai, Kumeyaay, Pai Pai, Cocopah and other Southwestern tribes. Our people have lived and worked in Central Arizona for thousands of years.
The reservation is governed by a Tribal Council elected by our tribal members, pursuant to the Tribe’s Constitution.
