PIMA

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 614 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PIMA , a tribe and stock of North American Indians. Their range was southern
Arizona
  and northern
Mexico
 . The ruined Pima
village
 , known to the Spanish as Casa Grande on the
south
  bank of the Gila, is an example of their early civilization and skill in building. Driven out of their homes by neighbouring tribes, they lived a more or less nomadic
life
 . They were always good farmers, showing much skill in irrigation. At first submitting to the Spaniards, they revolted in 1751, destroying all the
missions
 . The war lasted two years, but since then the Pima Indians have been friendly with the settlers. As a race they are brave, honest and hard working. They number some 5000 on two reservations in
Arizona
 . The Piman stock includes such tribes as the Papago,
Huichol
 , Opata, Tarumari, and numbers upwards of a hundred thousand.
