Citation heavily needed here

However, according to Opatan oral traditionalists, “Opata” is the name some Tehuima villages gave to themselves and means “iron people,” since iron ore was abundant in Opata territory, and Opata spear tips were made from iron ore. Thus, those Tehuima people were also known as “the iron spear people.”

A citation is really, really needed here (I don't know where to find one). Is this quote trying to suggest that a New World people named themselves after a metal not in known use by anyone until the arrival of Europeans? Or was there indeed a pre-Columbian culture that used iron, contrary to what modern archaeology and history believes, and nobody really cares to talk about it much?

Has been expanded since May 2006, and is fairly well-referenced, but still quite short --Miskwito 22:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for modern Opata identity

I notice someone added a sentence with two sources about modern Opata identity. Great! This page could absolutely use some exploration of the current state of Opata identity and culture, as long as it is well-referenced. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the sources that are referenced. Is there a link? Are these printed materials? Where or how can one access them? --70.184.83.221 (talk) 03:37, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
