Text Appearing Before Image: BULL. 30] MOHAVE MOHAWK 921 tilla or Iron Cactus),Ma-]i-ka (unknown), Mus (Mesquite), Ma-si-pa (Coyote). The tribal organization was loose, though, as a whole, the Mohave remained quite distinct from other tribes. The chieftainship was hereditary in the male line. Their dead were cremated. The population of the tribe in 1775-76 was con- servatively estimated by Garces (Diary, 443, 1900 fat 3,000, and bv Leroux, about 1834 (Whipple, Pac. R. R.'Rep., in, 1856), to be 4,000; but the latter is probably an overestimate. Their number in 1905 was otticially given as 1,589, of whom 508 were under the Colorado River school superintendent, 856 under the Ft Mohave

Text Appearing After Image: school superintendent, 50 under the San Carlos agency, and about 175 at Camp McDowell, on the Rio Verde. Those at the latter two points, however, are apparently Yavapai, commonly known as Apache Mohave. No treaty was made with the Mohave respecting their original territor}-, the United States assuming title thereto. By act of JNIar. 3, 1865, supplemented by Ex- ecutive orders of Nov. 22, 1873, Nov. 16, 1874, and May 15, 1876, the present Col- orado River res., Ariz., occu]jied by Mo- have, Chemehuevi, and Kawia, was established. Pasion, San Pedro, and Santa Isabel have been mentioned as rancherias of the Mohave. (h. w. h. f. w. h.) Amacabos.âZarate-Salmeron (ca. 1629), Relation, ill Land of Sunshine, 105, Jan. l;»00.
