The Yuma or Quechan Indians have for centuries fought against the Papago, Apache and others for control of their land along the Colorado River. Their determination has caused the Quechan to be known as the "fighters."
Today, the Indian Land covers 43,589 acres of those 700 acres have been leased to a non-Indian farmer. A sand and gravel lease was also given to a non-Indian corporation to develop. The tribe enjoys the tourism and business in the area by operating R.V. parks, a bingo hall ,a seasonal parking lot for entry into Mexico and a grocery store.
