The Tohono O?odham Indian Reservation , is an Indian reservation of the Tohono O?odham Nation located in Arizona , United States. [1] The reservation had a total 2000 census population of 10,787. The reservation has a land area of 4,340.984 square miles (11,243.098 km 2 ), 97.48 percent of the Tohono O?odham Nation total area. The reservation encompasses portions of central Pima , southwestern Pinal , and southeastern Maricopa Counties .

The land is also site of the Quinlan and Baboquivari Mountains , which include Kitt Peak, and the Kitt Peak National Observatory and telescopes, as well as Baboquivari Peak . These astronomical sites are under lease from the Tohono O?odham Nation. The lease was approved by the council in the 1950s, for a one-time payment of US$ 25,000 plus $10 per acre per year. [2]

When the Spaniards first encountered the tribe in 1694, they made note of one of the tribe's inhabited villages called Batki , a site that was later abandoned in about 1850. [3] The village of Batki was located in what is now the Sells District of the Tohono O'odham Nation, in the upper Northwest corner of the reservation.
