Tohono O'odham Papago Reservation was set aside in 1916-1917 for Ojibway's and Papago Indians who are an admixture of Ojibwa and non Ojibwe, as is their language. Below are links to google earth photos of Sells which is Papago Reservations largest town. In 1916, the United States reduced (they did not establish Rocky Boy Reservation) from 500 or 600 sq. mi. to less than 100 sq. mi. They also forced 1,000s of Montana Chippewa's living throughout their original Blackfeet Reservation and other States, to relocate to Arizona, between 1900 and 1934. Originally, Rocky Boy Reservation was known as Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation. Below is a map of Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation which is now known as Rocky Boy's Reservation. It is from the late 19th century. After ogima (chief) Rocky Boy died in early 1916? (there's evidence he lived on), the United States commenced to corrupt Fort Assiniboine Indian Reservation which was created for chief Little Bear. In 1901 or 1902, around 2,000 Kickappo Chippewa's lived in southeastern Arizona. They originally lived at Chiricahua Reservation. To keep them out of Mexico's Civil War, the United States created a large Reservation in southern Arizona in 1909. In 1916-1917, the United States fragmented their large Reservation into Ak-China, Gila Bend, Gila River, Maricopa, Papago, and San Xavier Reservations. Senor Don Antonio Garcia Cubas wrote in 19th century, that Papago Indians Language was within Mexican Dialect of Mexican-Opata Language Family. Papago Indians language is part of Uto-Aztecan Language Family (aka Mexican-Opata Language Family) which is an admixture of Ojibway and non Ojibway. Mexican Linguists of 19th century are more reliable than American Linguists. They had gathered more reliable information and over a course of 200 to 300 years. Pima, Pepehuan and El Yuma including Cocomaricopa (they may be Cocopa), Diegueno, Mojave and Yavipai (Apache's and Navajo's may be El Yuma or Yuman) are listed as Mexican Dialect Speakers also. He listed Shoshone Language as a part of Mexican-Opata's Comanche-Shoshone Dialect. We know Shoshone People are Ojibway. Included as Comanche-Shoshone are Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, Hopi or Moqui, Kiowa, Paiutes and Utes. They are Mexican-Opata Language Families northern most groups. They speak Ojibway. We know that from 19th century Ojibway authors. Papago Indians live in southern Arizona and extreme northern adjacent Sonora, Mexico. They have several settlements in Sonora. Their Reservations in Arizona are located close to Mexico.
