The Hualapai (pronounced[walapaɪ], wah-lah-py, Walapai: Hwalbáy[1]) is a federally recognized Native American tribe in Arizona with about 2300 enrolled members. Approximately 1353 enrolled members reside on the Hualapai Reservation, which spans over three counties in Northern Arizona (Coconino, Yavapai, and Mohave).[2]
The name, meaning "people of the tall pines", is derived from hwa:l, the Hualapai word for ponderosa pine[2] and pai "people". Their traditional territory is a 108-mile (174 km) stretch along the pine-clad southern side of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River with the tribal capital at Peach Springs. Other communities on the reservation include Valentine and Grand Canyon West.
