THE CHAPTERS

The name that most Arizona Indians call themselves in their own language means “The People.” Broad cultural groups here are listed under this name. With few exceptions, communities belonging to these larger groups live in geographical proximity to each other, so arranging groups this way also organizes areas to visit.
