Yes there are. My family being among them. Back in the day, the Yaqui were considered uncooperative to those who would claim their tribal land as their own. So the governments of Spain, Mexico and the US would implement the "Yaqui Dispersals."

They would relocate the preoples to far reaches of the country in an effort to minimize their influence. Yaquis were regarded as very tough warriors and they could influence other nearby tribes to fight.

My family ended up in the Santa Clara Valley working Rancho Sespe (when it was still a Spanish land grant) and later they along with about 10 other Yaqui families moved north to the Fresno/Madera area.

I was told that there are Yaquis that got relocated as far as Chicago by the US government when they claimed Arizona.
