message: My father has always told me that Pancho Villa was of this tribe.  Perhaps someone out there is able to verify this???--Amedeo Felix 17:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pancho Villa 

message: In the section on Yaqui cosmology and religion, the follwing sentence seems highly dubious: 
The Yaqui world view is pure and preserved for 26,000 years..
There are two major problems with this: 
:1. no other examples exist of complex beliefs, folklore, or other oral traditions being preserved for such a long period. No human languages or cultures anywhere in the world have endured unchanged for even a tenth of it.
:2. 26,000 years ago, the Americas were most likely not yet populated. The earliest, halfway undisputed traces of human settlements have been dated to between 16.000 to 21.700 years before present. See the article on the Clovis culture.
I have therefore removed that sentence.
P.S. In all liklihood, Don Juan Matus never existed. The article on Carlos Castaneda explains why.

message: My name is Gilbert Trejo, My father is an American born Yaqui with most of his relatives living in Montery Mexico. My father has gained some noteriety working as both an actor and drug counselor throughout his lifetime, most recently starring alongside Robert Deniro in the popular film Machete... His acting credits are quite extensive and I think he should be on this page under "Notable Yaqui"... Though I have nothing to reference outside our own family history  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.138.71 (talk) 02:31, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I added this reference, and have tons more in my files. (But I do have to work for a living) I found no glaring errors in the page and believe it should be unmarked.  Koibeatu (talk) 14:58, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: most of the page is verifiable

message: I noticed that someone added the boxer Alvaro "Yaqui" Lopez to the list of notable Yaquis.  the link that they provided as evidence no longer exists.  The following article contradicts the claim of Yaqui heritage:
http://www.ibroresearch.com/?p=4466
It says that the name was given to him by his manager.  He is actually from Zacatecas, one of the states in Mexico with the least native heritage.  He claims himself to have no native ancestry.  People should really look at sources before asserting the ancestry of anyone.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.160.79.59 (talk) 02:03, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: My name is Jose Manuel Salazar Sr. As of 6/1/2023 I am still alive and native Americans are still not recognized for their contributions for the protection of the lives of the citizens of the city of phoenix and all those in the state of Arizona. I attest to all written here in this article to be true and accurate. If the yaqui tribe that I am a member of wants the physical proof, contact me at the next veterans recognition celebration in the Tucson Arizona casino of the Sun . I will make the trip with my brother Jose Luis Salazar this Year. I will be open and willing to donate my Phoenix Police Department uniform shirt to the yaqui museum if desired. 68.98.23.230 (talk) 10:13, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed from Notable Yaqui section - no articles 

message: Why does this article start Yaqui history in 1533, when they surely have lived in North America for thousands of years? That's just unencyclopedic. I hope this article will be improved by adding information about the Yaquis before contact with the Spanish in 1533. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 22:11, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hey 

message: Before the recent change, there was a perfectly fine image of a Yaqui man. It has a historical image that was not offensive what so ever and don’t needed to be changed. Instead someone whom I am assuming knowns noting about Yaqui culture changed it to a picture of cultural practice. While I’m sure his intentions were pure, it should be removed as practices like should be kept scared and not reduced to a public image on Wikipedia. 50.20.127.133 (talk) 14:04, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I found another image available through Creative Commons licensing through Flickr. The Yaqui are living people today, so we should highlight recent photos instead of adding to the stereotype that they are from the past. The 1910 photo is down in the history section.
