Papago Reservation

This Reservations past is very suspicious. Below is a map of Papago Reservation, it's demographics, links to it's communities and links to google earth photos of Sells which is their capital. It was supposedly established in 1916 and 1917. Original Papago Reservation covers 3.1 million acres or 4,844 sq. mi or 12,545 sq. km. It was set aside for Kickapoo Ojibwa's who are Shawnee Ojibwa's or southern Ojibwa's. We have been told to follow evidence along a trail by prophesy. That's what were doing! In 1902, chief Rocky Boy was in Montana negotiating for new Ojibwa Reservations. He sent a letter to President Roosevelt requesting for Reservations which was denied. He told President Roosevelt in his letter that chief Rocky Boy was leader of landless Chippewas in various locations at the United States. Chief Rocky Boy then requested to have his Ojibwa Subjects settle on land not surveyed, after told he could not have new Ojibwa Reservations created. His proposal was accepted. Papago Language is a dialect of Mexican-Opata Language Family or as it is now known Uto-Aztecan Language Family. It is not an Ojibwa Language Dialect as are Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, Comanche, Hopi and Shoshone Languages are. However, they are deceiving you! Papago Reservation should not be confused with another Papago Reservation with an identical name which is now known as San Xavier Reservation. However, both Reservations are, in fact, a same Reservation. San Xavier Reservation was created on July 1, 1874. This land addition was for landless Ojibwa's at southeast Arizona and Nevada and Utah. In 1909, United States knew a civil war was going to happen in Mexico and wanted to keep Arizona Indians out of that conflict. Chief Rocky Boy negotiated to withdraw Ojibwa Soldiers from Mexico's Civil War during 1912 and 1913, in exchange for new Ojibwa Reservations and the return of old Ojibwa Reservations. Papago Reservation was one of the new Ojibwa Reservations created during 1912 and 1913's negotiations. It became an official Ojibwa Reservation in 1916. Tohono O'odham leaders will reject this information! They don't know who they are! Further below is important information about the non federally recognized Ojibwa People (Kickapoo Ojibwa's) of Arizona. On January 14, 1916 President Wilson created the 3.1 million acre Papago Reservation. On February 1, 1917 Tohono O'Odham Reservation was officially created. It is also home to a few Pima who lived around and at Pima San Xavier Reservation, which is almost adjacent to Tucson, Arizona. San Xavier Reservation was originally known as Papago Reservation.

Early Population

Before 1917, there was supposedly no Papago Reservation. An estimate of nomadic Papagos (they were really Kickapoo Ojibwa's who were really Apaches who were kicked off Chiricahua Reservation in 1877), who lived in extreme southern Arizona, south of Tucson, to northern Mexico, from 1902, put their population at 2,046. Two decades earlier it was over 4,800. Most fled to Mexico. Many did settle down on Papago Reservation. By 1930, their population on Papago Reservation or Tohono O'odham Reservation, was 5,146. Their population had more than doubled in about 30 years.

Kickapoo Ojibway's

Within past 15 years, Kickapoo Ojibwa's of southeastern Arizona, have become active in trying to become either State recognized or Federally recognized. They live between Douglas, Arizona and Wilcox, Arizona or very near their old Chiricahua Reservation. They number close to 200. So there are close to 200 Kickapoo Ojibwa's who are continuing to cling to their Anishinabe Tribal identity in Arizona. And don't get to thinking Kickapoos are not Ojibwa. According to 19th century Ojibwa author Peter Jones, Kickapoos speak Ojibwa as do Abenaki, Cree, Delaware, Menominee, Miami, Mohegan, Ottawa, Potawatomi, Sac or Sauk, and Shawnee. If they speak Ojibwa, it means they are Ojibwa.

Papago Reservation is a land rightfully classified as a desert. However, Sonoran Desert is a lush one. Papago Reservation is covered by a plentyful abundance of vegetation. Papago Reservations eastern region has sacred Baboquivari Mountains which includes Kitt Peak which has an elevation of 6,842 feet. Baboquivari Peak is higher, however, with an elevation of 7,730 feet. Baboquivari mountains are covered by a forest. Kitt Peak has their coldest winters with an average January high of 49 degrees. At lower elevations, winter highs tend to be in mid 60s to low 70s. Summers are hot and long with June, July, and August each with an average high of above 100 or near 100. Kitt Peak is much cooler during summer months, with it's hottest month averaging only 80 degrees for an average high temperature.
