The Akimel O'odham or Pima are a group of Native Americans living in an area consisting of what is now central and southern Arizona (USA) and Sonora (Mexico). The name means "river people". They are closely related to the Tohono O'odham (meaning "desert people", formerly known as Papago). The name "Pima" apparently comes from a phrase that means "I don't know", used repeatedly in their initial meeting with Europeans.

History prior to 1539

---

The Akimel O'odham lived along the Gila River, Salt River, Yaqui River, and Sonora River. There are irrigation systems around the Gila and Salt rivers that predate the Akimel O'odham, which are presumed to be the work of the Hohokam, which means "those who have gone" in the language of the Akimel O'odham. The language is part of the Uto-Aztecan family.

The economy of the Akimel O'odham consisted of farming, hunting, and gathering. The made baskets and wove cloth. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, their primary military rival were the Apache, who raided their villages at times.
