Hia C-eḍ Oʼodham
Indigenous tribe in the United States and Mexico / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hia C-eḍ Oʼodham ("Sand Dune People"), also known as Areneños or Sand Papagos,[1] are a Native American peoples whose traditional homeland lies between the Ajo Range, the Gila River, the Colorado River, and the Gulf of California.[2] They are currently unrecognized at both the state and federal level in the United States and Mexico, although the Tohono Oʼodham Nation has a committee for issues related to them and has land held in trust for them. They are represented by a community organization known as the Hia-Ced Oʼodham Alliance. The Hia C-eḍ Oʼodham are no longer nomadic, and the majority today live in or near Ajo, Arizona, or the small settlements of Blaisdell and Dome near Yuma.
