The Yaquis, a historical struggle for water
Abstract Since their earliest contact with the Yaquis in 1533, the Spaniards realized that the river that crossed the territory of these Indigenous people was the widest flowing waterbody they had seen in the northwest of what it is today México. This article examines the history of that river, the Yaqui River, which has been object of many conflicts, along with the people who fought to preserve their right to the water from the river which bears their name. The Yaqui continue to struggle to keep their farmland irrigated and maintain water for their own consumption, while also trying to maintain their most important identity emblem, the Yaqui River.
