The Gila River Indian Community Seal (left) was adopted when the Community was formed in 1939. The mountain range represents the various mountain ranges which are located throughout the reservation. These mountain ranges are considered to be very sacred by the Pima. Each mountain was given its own O'otham name by the Huhugam (Ancient Ones).
The cactus and Greasewood bush symbolizes the vegetation which is common to the desert.
The Sun and the color Blue illustrate that this is being a desert area, the sun is always shining and blue skies are over head most of the year.
The Grid and the color Green is representative of the Pima, and their ancestors the Huhugam, as being an agricultural people. The Huhugam were known for the great canals and irrigation system which they built. To this day, the Pima are farmers of the land, raising such crops as corn, barley, wheat, cotton, watermelon, cantaloupe, and beans.
