The Mohave people are an indigenous group who once inhabited the Mojave Desert, known for their rich cultural traditions and close ties to the desert landscape.

The Mohave (or Mojave) people have lived in the Mojave Desert for thousands of years. They are known for their skills in farming along the Colorado River, which flows through their traditional homeland. The Mohave developed a unique culture with complex social structures, traditional crafts, and ceremonies. While the Ancestral Puebloans, Hopi, and Hohokam lived in other regions (e.g., the Southwestern United States), the Mohave specifically adapted to the harsh desert environment, utilizing the river's resources for agriculture and trade. Their enduring presence in the desert highlights their resilience and deep connection to the land.
