Opata people
The Opata are a tribe of
Mexican Indians of Piman stock. Their country is the mountainous district of north-eastern
Sonora and northwestern
Chihuahua, Mexico. Though usually loyal to the Mexican government, they rebelled in 1820, as part of a larger movement for a free country in Northwestern Mexico run by indigenous people, but after a gallant effort were defeated.They numbered about 5,000 in the early 20th century, although they may have numbered as many as 60,000 at one time. Today, although some instances of the Mexican Government consider them extinct, some civil groups and Opata descendants try to preserve their heritage and have reported about 146 Opata language speakers in 1990 .
