Sonora is home to the Yaqui, a fiercely independent people that resisted the Mexican government for decades. Most Yaqui live along the Yaqui River in the communities of Potám, Huíviris, Torim, Cocorit, Bácum, Vicam, Rahúm, and Belem. If your ancestors came from one of these towns, it is probably that you are descended from the Yaqui. Today speakers of the Yaqui language number only about 14,000, 0.24% of the indigenous-speaking population. Nearly 96 percent of Yaquis live in Sonora. | Sonora is home to the Yaqui, a fiercely independent people that resisted the Mexican government for decades.
