In the 1730s the Spanish colonial government began to adapt this relationship, and eventually ordered all Jesuits out of Sonora. This created ample agitation amidst the Yaqui and led to several rebellions. Further, the Franciscan priests never accustomed to be their religious leaders, abrogation the Yaqui with no western religious ties.

ANSWER:
It appears they have Some rights in Mexico and more rights in Arizona, but as I understand they were never given all of the rights they deserve. their tribes were split between Arizona and Mexico (and still are) according to Treaty this would give them the right to cross the border into the U.S. without Immigration papers. all they are supposed to need is Proof that they are Yaqi. this is done with every known Indian tribe in Canada, but of course the U.S. will never miss an opportunity to discriminate against anyone or anything that hints of being Mexican, so all Indian Treaties are honored at the Canadian border and disregarded at the Mexican border.

Why do latin immigrants claim to be «Native American»?
Native American has become the most misused appellation in the western hemisphere. It is actually a word coined in my lifetime to describe our peoples and tribes here in the USA. The ones who came up with this term wanted to replace American Indian with it. In the last several years, uninformed people are passing this specific name to all the indigenous of the western half of the world. I am American NDN, from Calif, and I speak Spanish. Those people and the Mexicans were here long before the Americans got here. Many of us still speak their language, and English too. The problem comes when you try to give these people the name that is supposed to be reserved for us. The Mexican Indians do not claim to be American from Los Estados Unidos de Mexico. Same with any of the other countries from south of the border. They only begin to claim this name and this status when «la Migra» is after them. The fact is, Native American is a legal term describing Natives from within the borders of the USA, and our tribes. Nobody else from another country is entitled to this name, just like a Tarahumara from Mexico is not entitled to be called a Miwok from Calif.
Yaqui Lopez vs Yvon Durelle?
Yaqui Lopez for the win by fifteen round decision. Lopez is a little bit of a better fighter than Durelle is in this one. Lopez simply had the bad luck of fighting in a Light Heavyweight division which featured such superstars like Michael Spinks, Matthew Saad Muhammad, John Conteh and Victor Galindez. Too many talented boxers and he just never had the breaks of winning a Light Heavyweight title–not even briefly. Yvon Durelle is the obscure fisherman who gave Archie Moore one of the most exciting knockdown and drag-out fight in history and he came so close to pulling off the unthinkable upset. It was a fight which really transcended the sport. It was simply breathtaking that he could knock down one of the greats three times in a single round. However, in the rematch Moore figured him out and took him out in three rounds.
