Hualapai
The Hualapai or Walapai (Hualapai: ''Hwalbáy''〔Watahomigie, Lucille, Jorigine Bender, Akira Yamamoto, University of Los Angeles. ''Hualapai reference grammar''. 1982.〕) are a tribe of Native Americans who live in the mountains of northwestern Arizona, United States. Today they are enrolled in the Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian Reservation.
The name, meaning "people of the tall trees", is derived from ''hwa:l'', the Hualapai word for ponderosa pine〔(The Hualapai Tribe Website ). Accessed 2011-07-25.〕 and ''pai'' “people”. Their traditional territory is a stretch along the pine-clad southern side of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River with the tribal capital located at Peach Springs.
==Government==
The community is governed by the Hualapai Tribal Council which includes a chairperson, vice-chairperson, and seven other council members. The Hualapai have a Tribal Court and Appellate Court to uphold the Hualapai Law and Order Code and Hualapai Constitution. Law enforcement is provided by the Hualapai Nation Tribal Police Department which came into existence in 2002. The department consists of a Chief Of Police, Deputy Chief, Criminal Investigator and 11 sworn, Arizona state certified Patrol Officers. Fire protection is provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the local volunteer fire department.
