The Quechan people live near Yuma, Arizona.  

Did You Know?
In 1774, Spaniard Juan Bautista de Anza met Chief Palma of the Quechan (pronounced khet-chan) tribe and they became friends. When Anza returned a year later with 300 settlers bound for California, Palma gave Anza 6000 watermelons. The Quechan people still grow these watermelons today.
