Hello! I was born and raised in Mexico. In the municipality of Cajeme in Valle del Yaqui. I grew up listening to the Yaqui traditional songs and stories, and hanging out in the Yaqui districts. Still, in my genealogical research I can’t find any direct connection or ancestry from the tribe. Anyway, while growing up I was not religious at all and I didn’t appreciate all the richness of the community around me.
As an adult I became a pagan. I live in Europe and work with deities of Roman Pantheon but I want to add some of my Mexican heritage to my practice. I am interested mainly in Yaqui culture as I think being born there means something, but I see most threads here are about Mexica and Maya.
Because of migration issues, I haven’t been able to go back to Mexico since along time ago, so sadly I can’t go there and try to contact anyone from the community directly. Any Yaqui community here or any resources you know you can recommend me? Thank you !
The Yaqui, are a Uto-Aztecan-speaking indigenous people of Mexico in the valley of the Yaqui River in the Mexican state of Sonora and the Southwestern United States. They also have communities in Chihuahua and Durango. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is based in Tucson, Arizona. Yaqui people live elsewhere in the United States, especially California, Arizona and Nevada.
