Sobaipuri Tribe
The Sobaipuri Indians were a Uto-Aztecan
tribe of Arizona, allies of the Tohono O'odham (Papago)
tribe. Their language was never well recorded, but appears to have been either a dialect of O'odham or a closely
related language. The Sobaipuri no longer exist as a distinct tribe. After being defeated by the neighboring
Apache tribe, the surviving Sobaipuris merged
together with their kinfolk the Tohono O'odham, where most of their descendants still live today.
