Papago Reservation

Located in extreme southern Arizona, bordering Mexico, is the Pima Papago Reservation. The Pima Indians are included in the Uto-Aztecan Language family, which means they are partly Anishinabe. They are also known as the Tohono O'odham. Their Reservation is, i'm not certain, the fouth or fifth largest Reservation in the United States. Though they exclude the Cheyenne River-Standing Rock Reservation, and the Uintah-Ouray Reservation, when estimating the sizes of Native American Reservations, i don't. The Cheyenne River-Standing Rock Reservation is actually one large Reservation which is connected, as is the Uintah-Ouray Reservation. Both Reservations cover around 7,000 sq. mi. Latest population counts (the 2000 census) puts the Reservations population at 10,787, with another 10,000 Tohono O'odham living on two other Tohono O'odham nearby Reservations, and another 5,000 living off Reservation.

Historically, these people were most likely subjugated by Anishinabe (Chippewa) soldiers after the Anishinabe people became aware of the Seven Fires Prophecy about 1,000 years ago. For several centuries a fragile peace existed in the Arizona-New Mexico region, between the invading Anishinabek and the native Indians of the Arizona-New Mexico region. It changed in the late 16th century and early 17th century, when the white Spaniards invaded the Arizona-New Mexico region, bringing that region under white control. However, the Anishinabek and their Tohono O'odham and Pueblo Indian allies, fled into the mountainous areas of the Arizona-New Mexico region to continue to fight the invading whites. They are known as the Apache and Navajo. They would be joined by scores of Native Americans who were subjugated by Anishinabe soldiers in the eastern part of the United States, after the whites brought that part of what is the United States under their control. Anishinabe ogimak (leaders) were driven by the Seven Fires Prophecy to commence an exodus from the eastern part of the United States, to the Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah region. However, most fled down to northern Mexico. The United States eventually brought the Arizona-New Mexico region under their control in the latter part of the 19th century. They reached a treaty agreement with the Tohono O'odham and Anishinabek which established their Reservation. The whites forced the Anishinabek to lose their tribal identity.

At the present time, the border the Papago Reservation shares with Mexico is a troubled location. It is not out of the ordinary to hear reports, especially during the hot summer months, of large numbers of Mexicans attempting to make it into the United States (for most their original homeland), meeting early deaths in the desert which surrounds this Reservation. Below are the demographics of this Tohono O'odham Reservation.
