Native American Tribes series.Cocopa
A division of the Yuman family which in 1604-05 lived in nine villages on the Rio Colorado River of Arizona. At a later period they also extended into the mountains of Lower California and into Mexico. They were estimated to number about 3,000 in 1775, but by the turn of the 20th Century, were reported to have only about 800 people. They were less hostile than the Yuma or the Mohave, who frequently raided their villages; but were sufficiently war-like to retaliate when necessary. They resembled the Yuma in arms, dress, manners, and customs and depended for subsistence chiefly on corn, melons, pumpkins, and beans, which they cultivated, adding native grass seeds, roots, mesquite beans, etc.
The Cocapa Reservation was established in 1917 about 13 miles south of Yuma, Arizona. The reservation comprises approximately 6,500 acres and about 1,000 tribal members live and work on or near the Reservation today. In 1964, the Tribe founded its first Constitution and established a Tribal Council.
