Mohave

Mohave (Mojave, but properly Amakwakwa), North American Indians, an important branch of the Yuman family, who had formerly numerous settlements in Upper California, and especially about Fort Mohave on the Colorado river 400 miles above its mouth. They reached northwards beyond Hardyville, where they were conterminous with the kindred Chemehuevi. At present (1893) they are reduced to 1,830 persons, of whom 640 are in the Colorado River Agency, Arizona, 790 in the San Carlos Agency, and 400 in Arizona under no agency.
