The Pima /ˈpiːmə/ (or Akimel O’odham also spelled Akimel O’otham – River People formerly oft simply known as Pima) are a group of Indigenous Americans living in an area consisting of what is now central and southern Arizona. Currently the majority population of the surviving two bands of the Akimel O’odham is based in two reservations – the Keli Akimel O’otham on the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) and the On’k Akimel O’odham on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC).
