Welcome and thank you for visiting our website!
The Tohono O'odham Nation is a federally recognized Tribe located in southwestern and central Arizona. Tohono O'odham translates as "desert people" and our people have lived in the region since time immemorial. We have a rich history and culture that continues to thrive today.
With approximately 30,000 members living both on and off the reservation and 2.8 million acres of reservation lands divided into 11 distinct districts, our Nation has the second largest tribal land base in the country. The size of our reservation and enrollment numbers also make us one of the largest tribes in the southwest.
As you look around our website, you will find additional information on our ancestry, our government, and highlights on issues important to our people. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Welcome!
Chairman Ned Norris, Jr. and Vice Chairwoman Wavalene M. Romero
