[edit]

Shouldn't it say the Ak-Chin were friendly to caucasians, since the word Anglos derives from the name of the Germanic Anglo-Saxon tribe and usually relates to the British or English? At the time of the meeting this tribe would have only been encountering Spaniards. Kaibab 03:02, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, has anyone confirmed the "I don't know" story? It is a common myth about how native groups got their names. 131.216.32.243 22:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)SisterCoyote 2:42, 20 February 2006

Pi 'añi mac is O'odham for "I don't know". One could also say "Pi mac", which could easily have sounded to a Spaniard like "Pimas" in response to the question "What peoples are you?". -- Node
