NAVOJOA Y SUS BELLEZAS

6. History
Precolumbian era
The territory that currently occupies the municipality of Navojoa was occupied since pre-Hispanic times by Mayan Indians (originally they were called Yoreme), whose history is intimately linked to the valley and the river of the same name. The name of Navojoa comes from the May language from the roots "navo", nopal and "jova" casa; It therefore means "place, town or nopal house".
Mayan Indians
They were originally called Yoreme. The current Yoreme are the descendants of the ancient inhabitants of the Huatabampo culture, belonging to one of the cultural traditions of Sonora and Sinaloa. The group has a population of approximately 190,000 inhabitants according to 2011 statistics.
They call themselves yoreme "the one who respects the tradition" as opposed to the yori "the one who does not respect it." According to an old legend of its oral tradition, the word May means "the people of the riverbank."
The Mayo region is located in the southern part of Sonora. They inhabit the municipalities of Álamos, Quiriego, Navojoa, Etchojoa and Huatabampo. It is said that the Mayos have a common trunk with the Yaquis, because their language is part of the Taracahita family of the Aztec Uta trunk, with notable dialect similarities to the Yaqui language and the Guarijío language.
The story tells that the Mays were meekly recipients of the Spanish evangelizing teachings, at the same time acquiring knowledge regarding agriculture and the raising of domestic animals. With this acceptance, the settlers of the old May area were quickly assimilated to the customs of the time, with a gradual loss of their traditional social organization.
Their current home is built with adobe, block and / or brick, since these materials are more resistant to the torrential rains and cyclones that occur regularly in the region and consists of two or more bedroom rooms, a reed shed and a kitchen with wood stove next to it. In almost all the houses in May, it is constant to see a cross made from the heart of the mesquite tree or ironwood, which is placed in the patio or in front of the house to protect it from any evil.
Conquest and colony
On September 24, 1533, a new episode in the history of this region began, with the arrival of Diego de Guzmán, the first Spaniard to arrive in these lands. Three years later, the famous Spanish explorer Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, after being shipwrecked on an expedition to Florida, passed through this region, on his way to the capital of New Spain.
One of the first Jesuit missionaries to arrive in these lands was M.S.J. Pedro Méndez and his evangelizing work began in 1614.
The independence stage, due to its distance from the capital of the country, went unnoticed in this region; However, in the Mexican Revolution the inhabitants of this area were a key piece, with the participation of several generals, including General Álvaro Obregón, they fought valiantly. This was worth so that in the six-year term of General Lázaro Cárdenas del Río the distribution of land began and the modernization of the agricultural infrastructure of the Mayo Valley began.
