The Maricopa Reservation is located on the Salt River and Gila River regions just outside Phoenix, Arizona. There are very few Maricopa Indians remaining, and almost no potters among them. A couple of the well-known names from the past are Ida Redbird and Mable Sunn. The original name of the tribe, before the Spanish named them Maricopa, was Peeposh, a name which they are re-adopting.
