Tribal members share two culturally distinct backgrounds and speak two indigenous languages, the [[Yavapai language]] and the [[Western Apache language]]. The '''Yavapai–Apache Nation Indian Reservation''', at {{coord|34|37|10|N|111|53|46|W|scale:50000}}, consists of five non-contiguous parcels of land located in three separate communities in eastern [[Yavapai County, Arizona|Yavapai County]]. The two largest sections, {{convert|576|acre|ha}} together – almost 90 percent of the reservation's territory, are in the town of [[Camp Verde, Arizona|Camp Verde]] ({{lang-yuf-x-yav|'''ʼMatthi:wa'''}}; [[Western Apache language|Western Apache]]: '''Gambúdih'''<ref>{{cite book|author=William J. de Reuse|title=A Practical Grammar of the San Carlos Apache Language|publisher=Lincom Europa|year=2006}}</ref>). Smaller sections are located in the town of [[Clarkdale, Arizona|Clarkdale]] {{convert|60.17|acre|ha}}, and the unincorporated community of [[Lake Montezuma, Arizona|Lake Montezuma]] ({{convert|5.8|acre|ha}}). The reservation's total land area is {{convert|642|acre|ha}}. The total resident population of the reservation was 743 persons as of the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]]. The 2010 Census reported 1,615 people on the reservation. Of these, 512 lived in Camp Verde, 218 in Clarkdale, and only 13 in Lake Montezuma. ==History== The Yavapai–Apache have lived in the southwest since 1100 C.E. Their use of the land helped them to survive as hunters and gatherers. Chief YumaFrank, Chief [[Viola Jimulla]], and [[Carlos Montezuma]] were some of the first leaders of this nation. Beginning in 1865 the Yavapai were moved to several reservations such as: Colorado River Reservation, Fort McDowell, RioVerde, San Carlos, Camp Verde, Middle Verde, Clarkdale, and Prescott.<ref>Rasmussen, R.E.H ''American Indian Tribes''.
