Kohuana

The Kohuana belonged to the Yuman branch of the Hokan linguistic stock, spoke the Cocopa dialect, and were also closely connected with the Halyikwamai. In 1775–76 the Kohuana lived on the east bank of the Colorado River below the mouth of the Gila, next to the Ilalyikwamai, their villages extending south and into southern California next to the eastern Diegueno.

The Kohuana are the Coana mentioned by Hernando de Alarc6n, who ascended the Colorado River in 1540. Juan de Onate visited them in 1604-5, and they are probably the Cutganas of Kino (1701-2), while Francisco Games in 1776 reported that they were numerous and at enmity with the Cocopa. From Mohave tradition, it appears that at a somewhat later period they lived along the river near Parker together with the Halchidhoma, whom they followed to the fertile bottom lands higher up. Later the Mohave crowded them southward but still later compelled them to return to the Mohave country where they remained for 5 years. At the end of that period they determined to go downstream again to live with the Yuma; but, one of their number having been killed by the Yuma, they joined the Maricopa, with whom they ultimately became merged.

Population. Mooney (1928) estimates that there were 3,000 Kohuana in 1680, the figure given by Games in 1775-76. Kroeber (1920) believes these estimates are too high. In 1851 Bartlett re-ported 10 of this tribe living with the Maricopa, and, according to a Mohave informant of Kroeber's, there were 36 about 1883.
