” This card is designed in recognition of the first civilization to settle in the Prescott area. They are the Yavapai people, whose name translates to “people of the sun”. Dating back to at least 1100 AD, the Yavapai occupied a vast territory of over nine million acres, ranging from the San Francisco Peaks in the north to the Gila and Salt Rivers in the south, and west to the Colorado River. They were expert hunter-gatherers, following seasonal migrations to gather plant foods like agave, saguaro fruits, and acorns, and to hunt game such as deer, rabbits, and quail. They lived in brush shelters called “Wa’m bu nya:va” or sought shelter in caves, adapting their housing to the seasons. The Yavapai women were renowned for their intricate basket weaving, some of which were woven so tightly they could carry water.

Thumb Butte’s history is rooted in its geological formation and its role as a landmark for both Indigenous peoples and early settlers. Known to the Yavapai as “Nymit-gi-yaka” or “Mountain Lion Lying Down,” it has served as a navigational aid for centuries. Anglo pioneers nicknamed it “the Sphinx” and recognized its significance in indicating the proximity to the new town of Prescott, a hub for gold miners and settlers in the 1860s.
