Los maricopa o pipaash son una tribu india del grupo de lenguas yumano-cochimíes. Su nombre procede de Kokmalik’op “enemigos en la gran montaña”, nombre que les daban los pima, pero ellos se hacían llamar Pipatsji “gente”. En el siglo XIX estaban situados en las orillas del río Colorado, en Arizona, y actualmente viven en la reserva Pima-Maricopa de Salt River con los pima.

Los cactus saguaro crecen de 3 a 16 m y pueden alcanzar un diámetro de hasta 75 cm. De crecimiento lento, viven de 150 a 200 años. Son los cactus más grandes de los Estados Unidos.  Producen dulces fruto de carne roja que son convertidos en jarabe por los pueblos nativos.

Edward Sheriff Curtis 1868 – 1952 fue un fotógrafo y etnólogo estadounidense cuyo trabajo se centró en el oeste americano y en los nativos americanos.

The Maricopa or Pipaash are an Indian tribe of the Yuman-Cochimí language group. Their name comes from Kokmalik'op "enemies on the great mountain", a name given to them by the Pima, but they called themselves Pipatsji "people". In the 19th century they were located on the banks of the Colorado River in Arizona, and today they live on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Reservation with the Pima.

Saguaro cacti grow from 3 to 16 m and can reach a diameter of up to 75 cm. Slow growing, they live 150 to 200 years. They are the largest cacti in the United States.  They produce sweet red-fleshed fruits that are made into syrup by native peoples.

Edward Sheriff Curtis 1868 - 1952 was an American photographer and ethnologist whose work focused on the American West and Native Americans.
