The Name Game
The tribe that influenced this steed were located near the Gila and Salt River Valley in Arizona (site of the present-day city of Phoenix). They were also known as the Akimel O’Odham (“river people”).

The Pima organized villages with permanent dwellings with houses surrounding a central kitchen area. They were extremely accomplished farmers, and developed a sophisticated irrigation system which remained in use for hundreds of years. They were also noted for textiles and basket weaving.

Today the Pima reside at the Gila River Reservation in Arizona, where they farm, and at the Salt River Indian Community, closer to the city of Phoenix, where they operate several successful businesses, including a shopping mall.
