The name, meaning "people of the tall pines", is derived from hwa:l, the Hualapai word for ponderosa pine[2] and pai "people". Their traditional territory is a 108-mile (174 km) stretch along the pine-clad southern side of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River with the tribal capital at Peach Springs. Other communities on the reservation include Valentine and Grand Canyon West.
