Talk:Hualapai

spelling of name
Original page had the tribal name spelled Huaulapai sometimes and credited the main spelling to the spanish - implying a misunderstanding or change of some sort and not just a typo.

Can someone provide the correct pronunciation(s) for Hualapai/Walapai? I mean the way the tribe itself speaks the name of the tribe.

Needs expansion and separation of language and people articles
Some content but needs expansion and separation of language and people articles; some content here is community-related, e.g. schedule of festivals, which should probably be on a government/community page separately. Skookum1 (10 May 06)

Attack on Wagon Train
The John Udell wagon train, which left Santa Fe and headed towards California along the 35th parallel, reached the Colorado River in August of the year 1858. While part of the wagon train paused at Sitgreaves Pass, the Mojaves (Pipa a'ha macave) welcomed them as friends. The great Cairook and his protege' Sickahot met the wagon train and asked them what their intentions were, fearing the Anglos had come to stay.

On August 30, 1858, a moderate number of Hualapai (estimated from 40 to 60), with 7 or 9 Mojave, attacked the wagon train and killed as many as three people (one dead and two missing); one Hualapai warrior held up a fresh scalp to show Udell's people and taunt them with it. The wagon train lost almost all of its livestock and wagons, and went back to New Mexico.

In retaliation the USA Army went up the river from the Yuma Crossing, in two steamboats, and punished the Mojave for what the Hualapai had done. The official number of dead Mohaves is 48; Mojave witnesses said that hundreds of Mojave, many of them children and women, were killed. --Desertphile 03:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hualapai people → Hualapai – target is redirect to current title created by move by Kwami on May 17 2011 contrary to WP:UNDAB and WP:Conciseness Skookum1 (talk) 04:23, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.
 * There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited.  But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people".  — kwami (talk) 12:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412  T 02:35, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Support as per the policy Article titles and the guideline Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). The section Article titles also applies given that Hualapai redirects here. There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 04:47, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Removal of weather info
I removed the weather chart, because it was incorrect. The cited reference no longer exists, but a copy may be found at http://web.archive.org/web/20080801000000/http://www.azcommerce.com/doclib/commune/hualapai.pdf. Weather is on the second page, BUT note that it is for Tuweep, AZ -- which isn't located anywhere on the Hualapai Indian Reservation.--Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 02:54, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Hualapai & Walapai Are Two Separate Tribes
Someone has vandalized this page saying we're the same tribe when we're not. Hualapai are the tribe that rule Hualapai Nation, while Walapai are the traditional hunter-gatherers who dominated in the war against the colonizers. (Walapai are one of the most famous tribes in the cowboys versus the "indians" history.) I am Walapai on my biological Dad's side. He's a mixed-Native. Hualapai are in charge, like how Navajo rule over other tribes in Navajo Nation. Walapai are the hunter-gatherer soldier tribe. Yavapai are also a different tribe. And, so are Havasupai. The Havasupai have our capital: Lake Havasu City. Hualapai are so well-protected by us they are named the Hualapai, meaning they are untouched by the colonization. Walapai means we keep the colonizers out of our nation. Havasupai means they famously file lawsuits against the United States Federal. And, Yalapai are the least preserved tribe. --184.101.165.108 (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
