| The water resources at Pipe Spring have been a historical attraction in the seemingly waterless desert of the Arizona Strip. Artifacts from the area show that the Arizona Strip was utilized by nomadic hunter-gatherers from after the last Ice Age until around 300 B.C. These people were supplanted or assimilated with native cultures that followed including the ancestral Puebloan peoples. The puebloans vanished around AD 1250 and were replace or absorbed by various Southern Paiute bands. The Kaibab Paiutes lived in the area at the time of the first Anglo settlers arrive. Their numbers had already been severely reduced by the introduction of diseases and by raids and warring with other displaced regional tribes. |
