The Tribe’s housing department is putting a $19.5 million grant from the Arizona Department of Housing Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program to develop phase one of a master-planned community: Itom Pohco’oria Kari’m (Our Desert Homes), featuring 50-single family, mixed-income homes with two-, three- and four-bedroom models. Dubbed Yaqui Square, it’s an economic vision for a sustainable and thriving community. So the Pascua Yaqui Tribe’s first master-planned community coming to its reservation southwest of Tucson means more than just housing. Master-planned villages create infrastructure that attracts residents, businesses and employees that fuel economies. Economy requires a dollar exchange hands seven times over before leaving that community. When residents live and work in their communities, they recirculate dollars locally rather than leaking money to border towns. Housing communities are symbiotic in nature - they create a workforce and attract local businesses that provide jobs. The Yaqui numbered about 25,000 in the late 20th century, with several thousand also living in Arizona in the United States.Tribes can use master planning to their strategic benefit. The Yaqui are Roman Catholic, but the form of their worship is clearly influenced by aboriginal practices. Since the 1940s, large irrigation projects using the waters of the Yaqui River have shifted the emphasis in Yaqui agriculture from subsistence crops of corn, beans, and squash to the growing of cash crops such as wheat and cotton, and the production of vegetable oils. Much of the Yaqui’s tribal lands were restored to them by the Mexican government in the 1930s, however. ![]() Thousands of Yaqui were deported, and the remainder were left greatly reduced in numbers by warfare and emigration. They gradually came under mission influence and settled in church-centred communities, but in the 19th century Mexican encroachments on the fertile lands of their tribal territory led to a series of Yaqui uprisings that were finally quelled with difficulty by the Mexican Army in 1887. The Yaqui were, and in part remain, settled agriculturists, but they offered a stubborn resistance to the first Spanish invaders in the 16th and 17th centuries.
