Dilzhee

The Dilzhę́’é, or Tonto Apache, inhabited the country east of the Verde River, extending toward the White Mountains. Their homeland included the wooded uplands and creeks above the Verde Valley. To the west lived Yavapai neighbors, with whom they shared the valley and maintained close ties, although the two peoples spoke different languages. Evidence of Tonto Apache occupation has been found around Beaver Creek, while rock art near Sedona suggests their presence west of the river as well.
