Pima ('no,' in the Nevome dialect, a 

 word incorrectly applied through misun- 

 derstanding by the early missionaries. — 

 B. Smith in Shea, Lib. Am. Ling., in, 7, 

 1861 ) . As popularly known, the name of 

 a division of the Piman family living in 

 the valleys of the Gila and Salt in s. 

 Arizona. Formerly the term was em- 

 ployed to include also the Nevome, or 

 Pimas Bajos, the Pima as now recognized 

 ])eing known as Pimas Altos ('Upper 

 Pima'), and by some also the Papago. 

 These three divisions speak closely re- 

 lated dialects. The Pima call themselves

According to tradition the Pima tribe 

 had its genesis in the Salt River valley, 

 later extending its settlements into the 

 valley of the Gila; but a deluge came, leav-

ruined adobe structure called Casa Grande 

 ( called Sivanoki, 'house of Sivano' ) and 

 l)uilt numerous other massive pueblo 

 groups in the valleys of the Gila and Salt. 

 The Sobaipuri, believed to have been a 

 branch of the Papago, attril)nted these 

 now ruined pueblos, including Casa 

 (irande, to people who had come from 

 the Hopi, or from the N., and recent in- 

 vestigations tend to show that the cul- 

 ture of the former inhabitants, as exem- 

 lilified by their art remains, was similar 

 in many respects to that of the ancient 

 Pueblos. Sivano' s tribe, says tradition, 

 became so populous that emigration was 

 necessary. Under one of the sons of that 

 chief a large body of the Pima settled in 

 Salt River valley, where they increased in 

 [population and followed the example of 

 their ancestors of the (iila by construct- 

 ing extensive irrigation canals and reser- 

 voirs and by building large defensive vil- 

 lages of adobe, the remains of which may 

 still be seen. 



The Pima attribute their decline to 

 the rapacity of foreign triljes from the e., 

 who came in three bands, destroying 

 their pueblos, devastating their fields, and 

 killing or enslaving many of their inhabi- 

 tants. Prior to this, however, a part of 

 the tribe seceded from the main body and 

 moved s., settling in the valleys of Altar, 

 Magdalena, and Sonora rs., as well as of 

 adjacent streams, where they became 

 known as Pimas Bajos or Nevome, and
