Throughout the history of the Yaqui tribe (also known as the Yoeme), they remained independent of the Aztec and Toltec empires, perhaps because of their remote northern locale. They were similarly never conquered by the Spanish, defeating successive expeditions of conquistadores in battle. However, they were converted to Christianity by the Jesuits, who convinced them to settle into eight towns: Pótam, Vícam, Tórim, Bácum, Cóorit, Huirivis, Belem, and Rahum. One of the most populated places where they lived was Belem. For many years, the Yaqui lived peacefully in a good relationship with the Jesuit missionaries. This resulted in a fairly good advantage: the Yaqui were able to develop a very productive economy, and the missionaries were able to employ the wealth created to extend their missionary activities further north. In the 1730s the colonial Mexican government began to alter this relationship and eventually ordered all Jesuits out of Sonora. This caused the Yaqui to start a few rebellions. The Yaqui attempted to form an independent nation separate from Mexico in the 1820s, under the Yaqui leader Juan Banderas (executed 1833) who wanted to unite the Mayo, Opata, and Pima tribes, but the effort failed and the Yaqui remained under rule of Mexican authorities. Their nation suffered a great amount of brutalities by the Mexican authorities, including a notable massacre in 1868 where 150 Yaqui were burned to death by the Mexican army inside a Catholic church. In the past, the Yaqui subsisted on agriculture, growing corn, beans and squash (like many of the natives of the region). They also made cotton products. The Yaqui have always been skillful warriors. During the year of 1833, when Juan Banderas was executed, the loyal Yaqui warriors started a rebellion against the Mexican authorities, killing many Mexican soldiers and losing many Yaqui warriors. The picture on the right shows a Yaqui soldier on a horse. (Notice the rifle on the horses side, under the warrior’s leg.) The Yaqui’s conception of the world is considerably different from that of their Mexican and United States’ neighbors. For example, the world is composed of four separate worlds: the animal world, the world of people, the world of flowers, and the world of death. Many Yaqui rituals are centered upon perfecting these worlds and eliminating the harm that has been done to them, especially by people. There is a belief currently among many Yaquis that the existence of the world depends on the early performance of the Lenten and Easter rituals. “The Yaqui religion (which is a syncretic religion of old Yaqui beliefs and practices and the teachings of Jesuit and later Franciscan missionaries) relies upon song, music, and dancing, all performed by designated members of the community (Wikipedia).” There are also other Catholic practices that are based on the old days.

Thank you for adding this article to Wikipedia. My great-grandfather was a full-blodded Yaqui Indian, and it's nice to learn more about him and my ancestors. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.26.73.45 ( talk • contribs)

In the section on Yaqui cosmology and religion, the follwing sentence seems highly dubious: The Yaqui world view is pure and preserved for 26,000 years..
There are two major problems with this:
I have therefore removed that sentence.

It says that the name was given to him by his manager. He is actually from Zacatecas, one of the states in Mexico with the least native heritage. He claims himself to have no native ancestry.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 20:07, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Yaqui people → Yaqui – Target title is currently only redirect to current title, that original title was moved March 10, 2011, in the course of creating a WP:TWODABS page on the false premise that the language is a parallel PRIMARYTOPIC to the people]], without comment or discussion. On November 28 2011, Usyvdi moved that TWODABs page to "Yaqui (disambiguation)" and on next edit revised the redirect to point at the people title, commenting "oved Yaqui to Yaqui (disambiguation) over redirect: only WP:TWODABS, Yaqui people is overwhelmingly the WP:Primary topic". The standalone title had stood since the first version of the article by Graft on May 19, 2003, over eight years of stability at that title before it was arbitrarily moved. In addition to Uyvsdi's comments noted already, this move is mandated per closures of similar RMs in recent days by Cuchulainn and others, "consensus has spoken" that the people are the PRIMARYTOPIC, as stated by him here re the Northern Tutchone title. Guidelines such as Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) call for this move, as does WP:Conciseness and WP:Precision, WP:NCDAB and more.

Why does this article start Yaqui history in 1533, when they surely have lived in North America for thousands of years? That's just unencyclopedic. I hope this article will be improved by adding information about the Yaquis before contact with the Spanish in 1533. 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 22:11, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Before the recent change, there was a perfectly fine image of a Yaqui man. It has a historical image that was not offensive what so ever and don’t needed to be changed. Instead someone whom I am assuming knowns noting about Yaqui culture changed it to a picture of cultural practice. While I’m sure his intentions were pure, it should be removed as practices like should be kept scared and not reduced to a public image on Wikipedia. 50.20.127.133 ( talk) 14:04, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
