Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation
The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation is a 900-member Native American tribe that calls Central Arizona's upper Sonoran Desert home. Located to the northeast of Phoenix within Maricopa County, Arizona, the 40-square mile reservation is a small part of the ancestral territory of the once nomadic Yavapai people, who hunted and gathered food in a vast area of Arizona's desert lowlands and mountainous Mogollon Rim country. The tribe currently operates a variety of successful enterprises including the We-Ko-Pa Resort & Conference Center, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, Poco Diablo Resort, Fort McDowell Adventures, Eagle View RV Resort and Fort McDowell Casino, that will be unveiling a new, state-of-the-art gaming facility in 2020.
