The Quechan Tribe, also known as the Yuma Tribe, is a Native American group primarily located in the southwestern United States, particularly in southern California and Arizona. They are part of the larger Yuman language family and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices, storytelling, and art. Historically, the Quechan people relied on the Colorado River for sustenance, engaging in fishing, hunting, and agriculture. Today, they are recognized as a federally recognized tribe and continue to preserve their cultural identity while participating in modern economic activities, including tourism and gaming.
