Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) is a sovereign Native American government located in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Established by Executive Order on June 14, 1879, it operates as a full-service government that oversees its departments, programs, projects and facilities. The community sits in Maricopa County, bounded by Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Fountain Hills, and encompasses about 52,600 acres, including 19,000 acres of natural preserve; it is formed by two distinct peoples—the Onk Akimel O’odham (Pima) and the Xalychidom Piipaash (Maricopa). Recent developments include a partnership with Mullin360 and the March 11, 2026 announcement of approval to build a Costco at Loop 101 and Indian School Road. The community also supports public initiatives, such as events promoting sustainable transportation and electric vehicles in collaboration with local organizations.
