About Yavapai-Apache
The Yavapai-Apache Nation is a sovereign Native American tribe from the Verde Valley, Arizona. Tribal members have two culturally distinct backgrounds and speak two indigenous languages.
The Yavapai originate from Yuman-speaking peoples known as the Pai. The Apache descend from an Athapaskan background related to other Apache groups to the East.
Yavapai and Apache history in the Verde Valley spans several hundred years, as two distinct indigenous groups that co-existed in surrounding areas, and as one Indian tribal nation since 1934.
