Takodawa
Pakota ( Yavapai: "Big Man" or Nya-kwa-la-hwa-la "Long Black Fellow") was a 19th-century Apache/ Yuma/ Yavapai leader. Career Pakota and his nephew Takodawa ( Yavapai: "Hanging on a limb,") were Yavapai men. They were picked by General Oliver Otis Howard to attend a peace conference in Washington with President Ulysses S. Grant. Earlier, Grant had called for Indians across the country to attend the conference to bring peace between the tribes and the settlers. Howard wanted Chief Ohatchecama and Chief Jemaspie to attend but Chief Ohatchecama refused because he believed he would never return, while Chief Jemaspie wanted the President to come to Camp Date Creek. In a compromise, the chiefs picked Pakota and Takodawa to go to the conference in their places. In June, 1872, General Howard, his aide-de-camp, Captain Wilkinson; Superintendent of Indian Affairs Bendell; Pima missionary and teacher Cook; Joe Gacka, the Yavapais' interpreter; and two Indians from Camp Grant with two ...

Yavapai People
The Yavapai are a Native American tribe in Arizona. Historically, the Yavapai – literally “people of the sun” (from ''Enyaava'' “sun” + ''Paay'' “people”) – were divided into four geographical bands who identified as separate, independent peoples: the Ɖulv G’paaya, or Western Yavapai; the Yaavpe', or Northwestern Yavapai; the Gwev G’paaya, or Southeastern Yavapai; and the Wiipukpaa, or Northeastern Yavapai – Verde Valley Yavapai. Another Yavapai band, which no longer exists, was the Mađqwarrpaa or "Desert People." Its people are believed to have mixed with the Mojave and Quechan peoples. The Yavapai have much in common with their linguistic relatives to the north, the Havasupai and the Hualapai. Often the Yavapai were mistaken as Apache by American settlers, who referred to them as "Mohave-Apache," "Yuma-Apache," or "Tonto-Apache". Before the 1860s, when settlers began exploring for gold in the area, the Yavapai occupied an area of approximately 20,000& ...

Yavapai Language
Yavapai is an Upland Yuman language, spoken by Yavapai people in central and western Arizona. There are four dialects: Kwevkepaya, Wipukpaya, Tolkepaya, and Yavepe. Linguistic studies of the Kwevkepaya (Southern), Tolkepaya (Western), Wipukepa (Verde Valley), and Yavepe (Prescott) dialects have been published (Mithun 1999:578). Yavapai was once spoken across much of north-central and western Arizona, but is now mostly spoken on the Yavapai reservations at Fort McDowell, the Verde Valley and Prescott. Geographic distribution The rate of mutual comprehension between Yavapai and Havasupai–Hualapai is similar to that between Mohave and Maricopa (Biggs 1957). Warren Gazzam, a Tolkapaya speaker, reported that "you know they (Hualapais) speak the same language as we do, some words or accents are a little different". Due to extensive cultural interchange, many Yavapai were once bilingual in Apache, and some Apache were bilingual in Yavapai. Unlike in Havasupai and Hualapai, po ...
