There are two Maricopa villages: Hiʼnămâ, Hina Head (hina, a kind of fish) and Tcoʼûtcĭk Wuʼtcĭk, which is included among the Pima villages, as it was occupied by them after the Maricopas moved down the river to their present location below Gila Crossing. The Hiʼnămâ people now reside on the south bank of the Salt, east of the Mormon settlement of Lehi.
