The Yaqui of Mexico were early converts to Christianity in New Spain. Yet they came to be regarded with hostility by the newly emerging Mexican government. Many Yaquis fled Mexico in the early twentieth century and established a settlement in Arizona where they resumed a peaceful existence centered around their ceremonial calendar. Edward Spicer devoted most of his professional career to the study of the Yaquis and came to be regarded as a leading authority on that tribe. At the inception of his forty years of research stands Pascua, a firsthand description of daily village life. ; Andrew W.

Muriel Painter's account of Yaqui beliefs and ceremonies is based on her firsthand observations over the course of four decades. By the time Painter died in 1974, she was as familiar with Yaqui culture as on outsider could be and left behind the manuscript from which this volume arose. It was reviewed before the original publication in 1986 by a Yaqui committee and edited for publication by Edward Spicer. ; Andrew W.

In this innovative, performative approach to the expressive culture of the Yaqui (Yoeme) peoples of the Sonora and Arizona borderlands, David Delgado Shorter provides an altogether fresh understanding of Yoeme worldviews. Based on extensive field study, Shorter's interpretation of the community's ceremonies and oral traditions as forms of "historical inscription" reveals new meanings of their legends of the Talking Tree, their narrative of myth-and-history known as the Testamento, their fabled deer dances, funerary rites, and church processions

Este artículo, producto de investigación para la paz, examina la resistencia del pueblo yaqui contra actores estatales y del sector privado para proteger sus recursos hídricos en el norte de México. Con base en observaciones in situ, entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis documental, argumentamos que los yaqui hicieron transición de una resistencia violenta a una noviolenta por razones prácmáticas, luego del reconocimiento estatal de una extensión significativa de su territorio y recursos hídricos. Además, la combinación de resistencia civil con negociación y judicialización, y alianzas estratégicas les permitió reequilibrar la relación de poder con sus oponentes y avanzar hacia sus objetivos.

The paper addresses the role of the National Irrigation Commission and the Secretary of Hydraulic Resources, the first as a builder, and then both as contractors and supervisors in the construction of dams La Angostura and Alvaro Obregón (Oviáchic), on the Yaqui River, and the Adolfo Ruiz Cortines (Mocúzari), on the Mayo River, in the state of Sonora, Mexico, for agricultural use in the Yaqui and Mayo valleys. Its impact on the environment is also studied. ; En el trabajo se aborda el papel de la Comisión Nacional de Irrigación y de la Secretaria de Recursos Hidráulicos como constructora la primera y después, como contratistas y supervisoras en la construcción de las grandes presas de almacenamiento sobre el río Yaqui, La Angostura y Álvaro Obregón (Oviáchic) y el río Mayo, Adolfo Ruiz Cortines (Mocúzari), en el estado de Sonora, México, para uso agrícola en los valles del Yaqui y Mayo.
