At Mohave Consulting, we recognize and respect the cultural significance of the name “Mojave.” We understand that the spelling with a “j” is preferred when referring to the Mojave Desert, the Mojave River, and especially the Mojave People, the Native American tribe who are the original inhabitants of this land.
However, our company name, “Mohave Consulting,” is intentionally spelled with an “h.” This choice reflects our strong connection to Mohave County, Arizona, where our business was founded and is currently operating. The “h” spelling is officially used for the county, and it is also common in many place names and businesses within the region, including Fort Mohave and Lake Mohave.
Our decision to use the “h” spelling is not meant to diminish or disrespect the Mojave Tribe or their heritage. Rather, it is a way to acknowledge and honor the specific place where our business originated. We believe that using the locally established spelling helps us to connect with our community and demonstrate our commitment to the region.
We are sensitive to the cultural nuances surrounding the spelling of “Mojave” and “Mohave.” We strive to be respectful of all perspectives and to use the appropriate spelling in each context. When referring to the Mojave Tribe or their ancestral lands, we will always use the preferred spelling with a “j.” However, for our company name and in other local contexts, we will continue to use the “h” spelling, which reflects our roots in Mohave County, Arizona.
