 Indian Mythology - Yuman Mythology
The tribes of the Yuman stock — of which the Mohave, Maricopa, Havasupai, Walapai, Diegueño, and Yuma proper are the most important in the United States — occupy territory extending from the southern Californian coast and the peninsula of Lower California eastward into the arid high-lands.
Another myth, which the Yuman tribes share with the Piman, tells of Coyote's theft of the heart from a burning corpse.
As the Diegueño tell it, it is Tuchaipai, slain through the malevolence of the Frog, whose body is placed upon the pyre; the Mohave recount the same event of the remains of Matyavela, the father of Mustamho, who may be a doublet of Tuchaipai, or Tochipa.

 River Yuman Native Americans of the Sonoran Desert - DesertUSA
From about A. 700 to 1550, the River and Delta Yuman people – often called the Patayan – occupied the western sector of the Sonoran Desert, that fearsomely hot and dry region where the Colorado River divides western Arizona from southeastern California and southern Nevada.
The Upland Yumans occupied a range which extended from the Grand Canyon and its deeply dissected tributaries in the western Colorado Plateau, to the Colorado River basin in the eastern Mojave Desert.
Ponderosa and pinyon/juniper forests grow at the higher elevations of the Colorado Plateau, and rolling grasslands and desert scrub and yuccas dominate in the desert basin.

Fischbacher and Yuman appeared on Larry King Live: “Montecore was trying to drag his friend Roy to safety,” Yuman blabbered, an idea that was dismissed by experts who point out Montecore is a male tiger and would never even carry cubs in his mouth.
Yuman was nervous about being interviewed, which I figured was partly over the extremely unflattering Siegfried and Roy profile that had appeared in Vanity Fair.
Occasionally, Yuman poked his head out the door, inquiring whether his staff had shown me “the walls.” But the walls were easy enough to find on my own: Photographs of Yuman with his magicians and nearly every celebrity you could imagine were plastered everywhere.

Fischbacher and Yuman have worked hard to frame the attack as an anomaly, an accident, the result of a white tiger who was momentarily distracted.
Fischbacher and Yuman have issued a variety of statements to explain the attack, if not forgive it: Horn had placed himself between the audience and the tiger, to protect the crowd.
In other words, according to Fischbacher and Yuman, this "anomaly" meant nothing, and all the railing about the issue is misguided.

 Yuman Indian Tribe History
These latter were distinguishable from the Yuman tribes as being probably the lowest in culture of any Indians of North America, for their inhospitable environment, which made them wanderers, was unfavorable to the foundation of government, even of the rude and unstable kind elsewhere found.
The names of a large number of rancherias or villages have been preserved, and as many of these antedated mission rule, they indicate that their occupants had at least entered upon a rude social life and lived under some sort of recognized authority, though less definite and binding than among most other tribes.
The population of the Yuman tribes within the United States numbered about 3,700 in 1909.

The study (rapidly suppressed by the Government-friendly think-tank that commissioned the research in order to isolate new potential groups of second class citizens in Australia) instead concluded some of the nation's elites exhibit symptoms of the adoption of dangerous foreign speaking patterns and ideology.
It was found in particular that Americanised humans exhibit a tendency to say ‘yuman’ in the Texan style, in place of the English language word ‘human’.
But in recent decades the US has opted for the alternate methodologies of stealth colonisation, the purchase of infrastructure, and the farming of the local population under the ‘capitalist’ and ‘consumerist’ brands of social engineering.
