Description

Pima Indian Women Outside a Wickiup.

The Pima tribe were peaceful farmers who lived in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. The Pima tribe were descendents of the ancient North American Indians called the Hohokam.

The women of the Pima tribe wore cotton blouses and knee-length skirts with cloaks worn at night for protection from the elements.  Pima women wore their hair long and straight with bangs in front. They also wore shell and Turquoise jewelry and were especially fond of elaborate necklaces.

The wickiup was a form of shelter and home used by various Native American Indian tribes, notably those who lived in the Southwest in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and in the Great Basin. The wickiup was constructed of tall saplings driven into the ground, bent over, and tied together near the top.
