The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) is a sovereign tribe located in the metropolitan Phoenix area. Established in 1879, the Community operates as a full-service government overseeing various departments, programs, projects, and facilities. Spanning 52,600 acres, with 19,000 acres preserved as a natural preserve, the SRPMIC is comprised of two distinct Native American tribes, the Onk Akimel O'odham Pima and the Xalychidom Piipaash Maricopa, whose ancestral territory once extended along the Gila and Salt Rivers.
The SRPMIC offers opportunities for economic growth and development, with initiatives like the Salt River Fields providing economic benefits to the Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The Community is located in Maricopa County and is bordered by the cities of Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Fountain Hills. With a rich cultural heritage and a commitment to preserving their traditions, the SRPMIC continues to thrive as a vibrant and sovereign tribal community in Arizona.
