January 1828: In 1827 Banderas' forces were defeated by Mexicans in the vicinity of Hermosillo. This defeat was partly due to the Yaquis having primarily bows and arrows, while the Mexicans had guns. After this defeat, Banderas negotiated a peace with the West.

January 1743: In 1740, the Yaqui tribe, along with the Mayo, Opata, and Pima tribes, united to resist Spanish colonization in the Rio Yaqui Valley. By 1742, they successfully drove the colonists out of the territory.
