There is currently a sub-stub on Xalychidom -- all external sources point to this tribe as being a sub-unit of the Piipaash / Maricopa. Thoughts from someone more informed? -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 01:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

They were historically separate peoples, and they are to a certain extent still separate (some people identify themselves as Xalychidoma). Most of the "Maricopas" at Salt River are Xalychidoma, most at Gila River are Maricopas. --Node 05:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
