The Maricopa are a Yuman-speaking people living along with the Pima on and around the Gila River and Salt River Indian Reservations in Arizona. They are the result of a nineteenth century coalescence of small local populations with immigrant groups, notably the Halchidhoma, Halyikwamai, and Kohuana. Traditional economy was based on hunting and gathering, supplemented by intensive agriculture. Since the 1980s the Maricopa have relied primarily on income from leasing agricultural and business properties.
