Colorado River Indian Reservation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Colorado River Indian Reservation is 189 miles (304 km) west of Phoenix, Arizona on highway 95. It lies in western La Paz County, Arizona, southeastern San Bernardino County, California, and northeastern Riverside County, California. It has a total land area of 1,119.4445 km² (432.22 sq mi) and a 2000 census resident population of 9,201 persons. Tribal headquarters is located at Parker, Arizona, the reservation's largest community.

There were 3,389 enrolled tribal members from the Chemehuevi, Mohavi, Hopi and Navajo tribes residing there. Established in March 1865 for the "Indians of said river and its tributaries," the Colorado River Indian Reservation straddles a part of the Arizona and California border with 933.799 km² (360.542 sq mi) in Arizona and 185.645 km² (71.678 sq mi) in California.

The reservation's economy revolves around agriculture, recreation, light industry, and government. The Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) has senior water rights to 717,000 acre-feet (884,000,000 m³) of the Colorado River, which represents nearly a third of the allotment for the State of Arizona. The tribe operates the Blue Water casino and resort just north of Parker.
