If there is an interest in including some Pipa a'ha macave words and phrases, I could add some.

[edit] Clean Up

When I wrote this page (a long time ago) I had a dearth of time on my hands. I note that a request to "clean up" the article and "conform to a higher standard" is noted on the page. I have the time and documents to do so, but not the inclination to do so.... at least not at the moment. What I researched over the last 15 years on the subject is not easily rendered back into reference footnotes.

There are two Macave--- the Fort Mohave and the Mojave. My original entry noted this fact: where did it go? -- Desertphile, 2005May30

[edit] Requested Move

Mojave people → Mohave Mohave Is the correct term, and was where this page was originally at. --Hottentot 21:01, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Support a rename to Mohave (people). That was the way things were and there is no reason provided for making the change. So unless somone knows Mohave to be incorrect, this change should be made. Also, the Mojave page will need to be corrected since that was also changed. I changed what the rename should be to since Mohave has several other uses including a place name Arizona and a brand of tires. Vegaswikian 07:20, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but this is definitely the most important definition, and we can just have a Mohave (disambiguation) page for all those place names. --Hottentot 17:19, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments

Moving back to Mojave and Mojave to dab page. If consensus is for Mojave and Mojave (people) you can do that yourselves too. Rich Farmbrough 00:44, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Move closed. --Hottentot 07:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Please note that Mohave and Mojave are both correct; when Fort Mohave was built and the Mohave reservation created, southern Macaves followed the advice of their Head Men (such as Chooksa homar and Yara tav) and relocated to the reservation. Northern Macaves resisted the reservation and are generally referred to as the Mojaves.

I am a bit ashamed of myself for having ignored this page for an entire year (to the day) without making the changed and additions I had promissed myself I would do. It has been mere laziness on my part. --Desertphile 2006-May-30

Get to it. We're waiting looking forward to an improved article. Cheers, -Will Beback 21:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
