The Yaqui tribe is a Native American group historically associated with the Sonoran Desert region.

The Yaqui people have deep roots in the Sonoran Desert, particularly in areas that are now part of Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. Their history in the region stretches back thousands of years, and they have traditionally lived along the Yaqui River in northern Mexico. The Yaqui are known for their resistance to colonization and their vibrant cultural traditions, including their religious ceremonies and dance rituals. Today, many Yaqui still live in the Sonoran Desert region, maintaining strong cultural ties to the land. Other tribes like the Hopi, Navajo, and Apache lived in nearby regions, but the Yaqui's presence is most prominent within the Sonoran Desert itself.
